tomvigl: That worked for me. -- THANKS
androide7461: first you have to delete the extracted directory, then extract the snapshot again --> THEN modify line 58 to use "readlink -f"
But now, I need to learn how to use it ...
When I start the droidcam client I get a popup saying "Device not found (/dev/video[0-]). Did you install it?"
Check if the right linux-header is installed: pamac search linux-headers | grep $(uname -r | cut -d "-" -f 1,2)
If there is nothing like [Installed] you have to install it: pamac install linux[0-9][0-9]-headers
@AwesomeHaircut I had already earlier mentioned that I downgraded to the old LTS kernel. Still nothing of the mentioned here works. Still am waiting on a CLEAR answer about how and where to add this makepkg -si
Exact location and short tut, please, and I am okay trying it again.
I changed my pkgbuild as you said but it didn't work for me :(
I also had problems installing droidcam on Manjaro with kernel 5.5.13-1-MANJARO! The problem was that extramodules is a symlink. The Solution is to resolve the symlink with "readlink -f".
Change the build file in line 58: MODPATH=$(readlink -f "/usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r | sed 's/.[0-9]+-[0-9]+//')/extramodules")
I have looked at all the comments about my issue (I think), but am still having a problem installing this package. I get the following message:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) droidcam: /usr/lib/modules/5.5.13-1-MANJARO/extramodules exists in filesystem (owned by linux55)
So I downloaded the snapshot and tried "makepkg -si" - and got the exact same error
Maybe this wiki page can get you out of your confusion @Saka2u1u https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg
Again, no need for workarounds or manual installs. Whatever you normally use for installing things should work now.
Actually I think no one even says where and how to use the makepkg -si with which code... Nothing works, enough time wasted. Removed.-
