Full Version: Why I have to use libwebcam
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello,

I think that to communicate with webcam (hardware) require driver (linux module, uvc driver) and application (luvcview). As I follow this thread. I don't know why I have to download libwebcam and then recompile it to make luvcview to work (Now it's work, but I still don't know the reason). Is libwebcam significant for driver to work without application? (I want to write application by myself)

Thank you
ukyo
There's no need to compile libwebcam! All you need is a header file (plus another one from the UVC driver) as described in the README file.
Thank you for explanation.
