The dkms dependency will be worked on upstream, but that will hopefully come soon and there won't be a need for loading.

@Marc.337

The version on github is 1.1. This is a problem. The fact is, upstream never bothered with consisting versioning.

I just tried removing all yay's cache manually and that worked. I did notice v4l2loopback-dc doesn't get loaded automatically though.

@LevitatingRein I just tried building with yay with removed cache and everything seems to work.

Levitating commented on 2020-05-29 10:11 (UTC)

Yay complains that droidcam.zip has a wrong sha512sum. Building the package manually works though.

Thanks @Kalq, sorry about that. I pushed new version with added proper dependencies. If you use only the CLI version, then gtk2 is only needed while building, so I'm not sure if it should be added to the dependencies. I leave it in makedepends for now.

@grazzolini, I understand you plan to switch this to pure source; in the meantime, why not pulling the release tag from GitHub? See https://github.com/aramg/droidcam/releases.

Hi, I think libjpeg-turbo, alsa-lib, ffmpeg, and gtk2 should be makedepends. I couldn't get it to work without them. I think gtk2 is not optional.

@miss_barfin thanks for the heads up. I'm looking into the "install-sound" script right now and it seems to me that it's rather hacky. E.g, if you change number of sound cards in your system, it will break anyway.

The reason the script does not work is because v4l2loopback-dc-dkms installs /etc/modprobe.d/v4l2loopback-dc.conf, instead of /etc/modprobe.d/droidcam.conf. I guess doing sudo ln -s /etc/modprobe.d/v4l2loopback-dc.conf /etc/modprobe.d/droidcam.conf should work around that.
