 Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2005 1:15 am Post subject: WOW aMsn webcam finally is great!!! |
 |
|
Hi Everyone... I passed a long time looking to some programs allow to use the webcam for videocalls...
Gnome-meeting can't use it really... gaim-vv (I think videostreams only with yahoo chats.. and I don't have any yahoo contact)...
I Know... we don't really need to video call all day-long everyone, but also some about pride of using Linux, and we have nothing to answer when some M$ user ask us how to use their web cam with an im program...
Well I've tried out amsn-cvs... that is not in portage... there are several non official ebuild. I've tried 3 of them... the first and the second, I don't remember where in gentoo-ees maybe, anyway they didn't work.
Finally I was reading a French chat about amsn cvs, and I've found out a modification of amsn-cvs ebuild. Wow, it works great. My parents just call me, they use msn-7.5 and the video works... I couldn't believe it.. I just thought it was question of time for this support but.. no, it's already done...  cool and so M$ users.. use amsn... |

call amsn-cvs-x.x.ebuild put it in /usr/local/portage/net-im/amsn-cvs , do the digest and emerge amsn-cvs... than if your web cam it's right set up you will be able to use it with amsn (I mean if you already can use it with xawtv for example)..
I think they worked alot on cvs on this project, I tried one mount ago with a strange method find on the forums and only the ringing was working (yes again we didn't need it... but stupid feauters makes us happy).. now you can also work on the light and contrast of the images... it's perfect... also the quality was better than msn...  .. even if we still don't have full screen... next step we'll need the teleport from a place to another with a net-im... 
The audio do not work... but I don't pretend so much.. also it's existing Skype for this....
If I'll find the French thread I'll post it...
See u enjoy!!! |

Ok... It was not so misterious... I remember he callad amsn-cvs.3000.ebuild, so I've found it... (I've change to amsn-cvs-0.95 so I can update it without call it amsn-cvs.3001... just for not confusing...)
U can download the ebuuild here http://www.defloo.be/stuff/amsn-cvs-3000.ebuild
And the discussion was there https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-356232-highlight-.html?sid=3de42d66c38e09c77e061fff303fe675
And I think the man is from Belgium.... thanks kwenspc ....
Enjoy your Sunday... Now I go for my espresso and try to wake-up and don't loose another sunday on the laptop...  ..
Enjoy Alvaro's Messanger....
Added later:
IMPORTANT: Actually the ebuild you can download from the link changed since I've taken. And It's giving some problen (it do not work ..look down.. you have to edit it) when if you copy the one I paste there it seems all clean and the webcam works.

OK... Voice support its also possible. I'm trying to understand how to couple linphone-im and amsn. There in the linphone-im in amsn cvs reposity, I have too a linphone folder in /usr/share/amsn/plugin. But it seems it wasn't compiled... and I can not understand why is there... It seem to be not so hard to do. Someone just did it?
I'm taking from there http://amsn.sourceforge.net/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Installing+Plugins+and+Skins.
If I have understand I can download the linphone (just done) from CVS, than compile it and just put the linphone.so in my plugin/linphone/... than I just have to load it??
cool. I try that way...
maybe should be nice have it all in a ebuild... Ultra unofficial one...I don't like have many stuff installed "by hands". But I don't' know seems just problem on configure linphone-im about dependencies, I've installed libosip but It is found by the configure....  I'll tell....
P.S: Every time we try to speak about stuff not in portage we are "banned" in Unsupported Software...  ... I could't get the ebuild in time to those who asked for. I hope they will still find this discussion.

Uff.. I'm giving up about linphone... It has some compile problem. I tried to add linphone.so but obviusly it can not find other libs... Now I'm tired will try again tomorrow. If someone Know about to do it, should please clear my mind on how does it work this *** plugin?
and why there are those useless files in /usr/share/amsn/linphone?
| Code: | plugins # ls linphone
configure.in linphonewrap.c Makefile.in mkIndex.tcl.in
CVS linphonewrap.h mkIndex.tcl tcl.m4

* Compiling the freedesktop notification plugin
!!! ERROR: net-im/amsn-cvs-0.95 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 488, Exitcode 1
!!! no configure script found
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
I tried the above ebuild and I get this error message, any thoughts?

hmm... Have you still an amsn-cvs folder in distfiles/cvs-src ?... I remember I had something like this too... I reemerged cvs clean-up the cvs-src and than worked...
But it seems a configure problem.. maybe they were updating the cvs...  .. I'll try tomorrow, for me worked great. Have you download the ebuild or copy/past mine? try to download from the link (even if I think should be the same)..
Good luck...
Nooo.. I've check... The ebuild I have it's different... the author should have work on it again. Anyway mine it's working for me. I would like to try the other ebuild. but I have to use amsn now... so no time now...
see you again... |

Yep. Confirmed. If you download the ebuild, it is changed since I take it. You better copy/paste mine. I've just try the other one and also for me :
| Code: | * Copying msn from /usr/portage/distfiles/cvs-src/amsn-cvs ...
* CVS module msn is now in /var/tmp/portage/amsn-cvs-0.95-r1/work
>>> Source unpacked.
* Compiling the freedesktop notification plugin
!!! ERROR: net-im/amsn-cvs-0.95-r1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 499, Exitcode 1
!!! no configure script found
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. |
With the one I still have: | Code: | usr/share/amsn/utils/linux/traydock/libtray.so
usr/share/amsn/utils/webcamsn/src/webcamsn.so
usr/share/amsn/utils/webcamsn/webcamsn.so
>>> Completed installing amsn-cvs-0.95 into /var/tmp/portage/amsn-cvs-0.95/image/
>>> Merging net-im/amsn-cvs-0.95 to /.... |
... and finally | Code: | >>> original instance of package unmerged safely.
* For XMMS use in amsn, make sure the xmms-infopipe plugin is enabled.
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> net-im/amsn-cvs-0.95 merged.
>>> clean: No packages selected for removal.
|
....
I did a correction on the previous post.
I've try to modify the ebuild posted in the link, but it's better use the old one. The new ebuild try to compile every module of msn-cvs. And there is not possibe, either by hand, no configure or else. Or better there is not for trayicon module and TkCximage ones... |

Hi it's still me. I'm trying again to compile the linphone amsn-cvs modules. It depend of libosip-0.9* cause if you emerge libosip2 the path changes and configure will fail.
But anyway I still have problem.
| Code: | cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/amsn login
|
| Code: | cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/amsn co linphone-im
|
to download it...
Then I still have to understand what could I do with it after compiled. But just try it...
If enyone is interested...
Thanx for suggestions...
"Update"
| Code: | lib-2.0/include -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"MediaStreamer\" -g -O2 -c videostream.c -MT videostream.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/videostream.TPlo -o videostream.o >/dev/null 2>&1
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../libr263/libr263.a', needed by `libmediastreamer.la'. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/francesco/linphone-im/mediastreamer'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/francesco/linphone-im'
make: *** [all] Error 2
|
This is the error I have. does anyone have an idea wher I take libr263?
Thanks (than I think will be done...  )
Ok. to avoyd the error before compile go to linphone-im/libr263 an do make library. |

So. It's seems I get it working. I'm not sure about the dependencies, I think also xine-lib it's in.
After fetching the cvs module and install libosip-0.9.7 (in portage) run ./configure.
than go in libr263 and run . You should do now make and make install but meke get an error about libtool.
So you have to run if it gets this error.
finally make and make install
To load the plugin you have to take http://amsn.sourceforge.net/wiki/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=7
and put in your plugin/linphone/ (~/.amsn/plugin/linphone or /usr/share/amsn/linphone) than you can load it with ctrl+s and run load /usr/share/amsn/linphone/Linphone.so everytime or it is possible to add the line in /usr/usr/share/amsn
| Code: | | echo "load /usr/share/amsn/linphone/Linphone.so" >> /usr/share/amsn/amsn |
I'm tryng to make an ebuild but I can't resorv hw to go around the "libtoolize -f -c". |
