Digital Camera Software Packages Are Available

[maslovsky]

Hello everyone,

I've built a set of libraries and console tools to work with digital cameras. This includes applications like gphoto2 (http://www.gphoto.org/) and ptpcam (http://libptp.sourceforge.net/)

Please, visit their web sites for more information about using those appps.

The packages are availble from this feed:

http://cacko.oesf.org/downloads/camera/feed/

If you're not using Cacko ROM and applications complain about missing USB library, install libusb package from the feed.

Regards,
Anton

Does this enable you to download photos from a digital camera to the Zaurus via USB? Of course the newer models (the 3100 anyway) allows you to insert an SD or CF card and download them that way, but it would be cool if I could do it without removing my SD card (and its swap file).

these work on pdaxrom?

Yes, and you can also play with some of the camera properties using ptpcam utility.

they don't seem to work on pdaX

on sharp it complains about libreadline.so.5. I have libreadline.so.4
linking .4 to.5 didn't work (surprise, surprise).
Does anyone have a libreadline.so.0.5? Id love to try these... I have my v4l enabled kernel recognizing a camera and everything

On my sharp rom, gphoto2 complains about a missing library, libreadline.so.5

Any ideas on where to get this library?

elsix has it in another package...smbmount i think.

It's working here on my SL6000, but

Code: [Select]

gphoto2 --list-ports
does not show the usb port.

I get TTYS0, TTYS1, & TTYS3.

Is one of these actually the usb port?

[EDIT]OK...duh! First post mentions libusb which I did not have installed.  Installed now, and USB port shows up.  I'm still having troubles getting the camera recognized...but that's another story.[/EDIT]

can someone attach a copy of libreadline.so here please? I too get the error no such library!

I second this, the one in smbmount is an older version

yesterday late evening I realised that I probably had a copy of libreadline.so on my SL-C860, so I copied it over.

then I needed libncurses, so I copied that over. gphoto2 then ran, giving me help.

then I plugged in my wife's (shh! secret Xmas present) Ixus 750, and dmesg reported that the 6000 found it

so ran gphoto ran, didn't find the camera, didn't have time to fix it.

I will see about extracing the two library sets and making an ipkg of them.

[bam]

just post the lib's they can be manually installed

[speculatrix]

here are libncurses.so.4.2 libncurses.so.5.4 libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.5.0 in a .tar.gz form from cacko1.23 install

you may also need soft link to these files thus

libncurses.so->libncurses.so.5
libncurses.so.4->libncurses.so.4.2
libncurses.so.5->libncurses.so.5.4
libreadline.so->libreadline.so.5
libreadline.so.5->libreadline.so.5.0

Sorry too so long to come back with these files
