I am getting a blank screen on one of the machines on which I am trying this package. However I have two more laptops on which the package is working as intended.

On the host where the package gives a blank screen, the flatpak (currently at version 9 of webcamoid and relying on deprecated flatpak frameworks) works fine.

Hence, I suspect this is no hardware issue, but a dependency problem: the packages on the machine where the package fails are probably not perfectly aligned with the packages on the other machines where it works. So there may be something that should be installed, that I do not have and that is not listed as a dependency.

Anyone else experiencing something similar? Any clue.

As an additional issue, on all the machines I have, selecting "screen" as the source causes the application to freeze (but this is probably an application bug).

This package fails to build without ffmpeg4.4.

Please change ffmpeg to ffmpeg4.4 and add export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/lib/ffmpeg4.4/pkgconfig' before you call CMake.

It should look like this:

build() {
    cd "$srcdir/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/usr/lib/ffmpeg4.4/pkgconfig'
    cmake \
        -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
        .
    make $MAKEFLAGS
}

Please change the optional dependency in akvcam-dkms-git to akvcam-dkms.

Thanks for maintaining!

Please add architecture aarch64 to list of supported architectures, as it compiles and runs well there.

@hagar-dunor, I got the same error. I built it successfully using

git clone git@github.com:webcamoid/webcamoid;
cd webcamoid;
mkdir build;
cd build;
cmake .. -GNinja;
ninja;

I can run it using cd build/bin && ./webcamoid;, and it looks maybe okay (I've never used this application before.)

@hipersayan_x : thanks - I already got it running e2e :-)

@dr1fter You must install linux-headers to make the virtual camera work.

dr1fter commented on 2021-05-27 16:02 (UTC)

@souravdas142 - thx once again. There really was just a kernelmodule amiss (akvcam-dkms)

@dr1fter Did you checked your issue from here, If your issue not found, create one.
