The patch for supporting kernel 6.8 has been patched to upstream master. please update the PKGBUILD accordingly.

undg commented on 2024-03-22 10:05 (UTC)

Until patch for kernel 6.8 will be released by v4l2loopback team, I've switched to v4l2loopback-dkms-git (AUR). This solves problem of compilation.

Hi, this won't compile with kernel 6.8

Someone wrote a patch to get it going https://github.com/dev47apps/droidcam/issues/271

I did this on my local build but need to lookup how to wget the patch in the PKGBUILD.

HurricanePootis commented on 2024-02-18 02:00 (UTC)

Hey, why does this package make the devault v4l2loopback camera 480p? Most phones now a days are 1080p.

Fixing DroidCam Installation on Manjaro Linux

This update provides a solution for users facing linking errors during the installation of DroidCam on Manjaro Linux.

System Context
  • Kernel Version: Linux workhorse 6.1.68-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Dec 14 00:46:56 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  • System Specifications: see bottom of comment
Issue Encountered

During the installation of DroidCam using yay (yay -Syy droidcam), the following linking errors were encountered related to the TurboJPEG library:

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccYSjh0z.o: in function `decoder_prepare_video':
decoder.c:(.text+0x35f): undefined reference to `tjInitDecompress'
...
/usr/bin/ld: decoder.c:(.text+0xac3): undefined reference to `tjGetErrorStr2'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:61: droidcam-cli] Error 1
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Steps Taken to Resolve the Issue
  1. Cloning the Git Repository:
  2. Initially cloned the DroidCam repository from its AUR package.
  3. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/droidcam

  4. Modifying the PKGBUILD File:

  5. Edited the PKGBUILD script to resolve the linking issue.
  6. The build() function in the script was modified from: bash make JPEG_DIR="" JPEG_INCLUDE="" JPEG_LIB="" JPEG=$(pkg-config --libs --cflags libturbojpeg) USBMUXD=-lusbmuxd-2.0 to: bash make JPEG_DIR="/usr/lib" JPEG_INCLUDE="/usr/include" JPEG_LIB="-lturbojpeg" USBMUXD=-lusbmuxd-2.0

  7. Building and Installing the Modified Package:

  8. After modifying the PKGBUILD file, the package was successfully built and installed without the previous linking errors using makepkg -is in the folder where droidcam aur was cloned.
Conclusion

This modification to the PKGBUILD file addresses the specific linking errors encountered with the TurboJPEG library during the installation of DroidCam on Manjaro Linux. Users facing similar issues can follow these steps to resolve the problem.

I do not understand myself why this explicit linking was necessary, open to suggestions.

With kernel 6.6.1 this module produces a kernel dump during booting. Please, see the full report here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2132592#p2132592
