Arch Linux User Repository

@juanmah, @ragouel I have a fork from github.com/silhusk/eviacam who submitted several PRs that seem to have gone ignored; the original author appears to be AWOL and the project abandoned. In any case, I forked @silhusk's fork and applied all of his patches (except a Windows-specific patch which is, for Arch, irrelevant). I tagged it 3.0.0 and made some minor changes to the PKGBUILD to get it to conform to the updated file naming in the wxWidgets-gtk3 package. This -- surprisingly? -- builds cleanly with no errors or even warnings.

My repo is https://github.com/xxxserxxx/eviacam . In it is an arch directory (added after the 3.0.0 tag) containing a PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO that will currently cleanly build a package with @silhusk's patches.

@cmauri's for appears abandoned. @silhusk is unreachable. I'd rather not even have another github fork, but silhusk has no contact info and has issues is turned off. Would you mind changing the source on this package and update the PKGBUILD from my repo? It's an inactive project, and I'll do my best to keep it building and flagging this package as out of date if it changes. Or if you'd rather set me as a maintainer, I'll do it.

A note: Upstream seems to not have received any update since 2019.

With fixed --with-wx-config, build fails for me with

Seems to be an upstream issue.

With new wxwidgets-gtk3, wx-config-gtk3 has become wx-config.

In your PKGBUILD, you should change --with-wx-config=/usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3 to --with-wx-config=/usr/bin/wx-config.

Otherwise, build() fails in ./configure with

checking wxWidgets version... ./configure: line 21712: /usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3: No such file or directory
not found
configure: error: wxWidgets is required. Try --with-wx-config.

Thanks for maintaining,
regards!

Can you please change the dependency wxgtk to wxgtk2? wxgtk is not really supported anymore as a package name.

And, the most up to date wX package namings would be

wxwidgets-gtk2 and wxwidgets-gtk3 instead of wxgtk2 and wxgtk3.

Btw., why do you need to depend both on GTK2 and GTK3 variant of wxwidgets? Shouldn't one be enough (you build for GTK3 variant)?

Thanks for maintaining!

Dependency wxgtk is causing needless problems. Cloning package from AUR and manually editing PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO removing wxgtk from the dependencies did solve the dependency issues and makepkg -si went on to compile and ultimately installed fine.

@rethus's issue seems to be related to the patch, I suppose it's in german (apologies if I'm wrong), but whatever language it is, it's not a language I have sufficient knowledge to make much sense of the messages. Still, trying to skip the patch resulted in some errors related to wrong number of arguments (I suppose Konflikt means conflict and Deklaration refers to some declaration/statement, but I didn't see anything that might be related to number of arguments in the logs posted here).

Anyway, the fix for me was fairly simple: - Install opencv and wxgtk3 if you haven't already; - Clone AUR Repo for eviacam; - Edit PKGBUILD(And possibly .SRCINFO, I did 'cause I like maintaining consistency), removing wxgtk from the dependencies; - Run makepkg -si; - Confirm installation of eviacam; - Done.

Hope this helps others with troubles installing this package.

Same here, like pfspace described... never ending loop of verifying dependencies.

Can someone fix this please?

If I try to compile it myself, make stops with this error:

Can't compile. It enters in an eternal loop "verifying dependencies".

Trying to compile from source also does not work: https://github.com/cmauri/eviacam/issues/35

This is a vital app and should be on official repositories.

Thank you.

Dependency wxgtk is not needed, since wxgtk3 is used. (namcap also says that wxgtk is not needed.)

I was able to manually compile upstream (2.1.4) using ./configure --with-wx-config=/usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3

Haven't progressed to getting it running though as v4l2-loopback based on ffmpeg on IP webcam running on my old Android phone was introducing too much of a latency for my liking. As soon as I grab some proper USB webcam I will try to get that PKGBUILD going.
