Old Webcam (PD1001)

[4ndY]

Ok, Fedora says better webcam support - but my old webcam (Creative PD1001) doesn't work.
I need to compile kernel modul for it: epcam (source is here (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=226954&package_id=274719)).
Problem is that I can't compile because I don't know which deps I need for it (no README).
Any hint?

yea, buy a new cam that works without a "driver"

No, I am not being sarcastic, it will probably save you a ton of work.
It does seem like all the ons that work with Linux are more expensive then the chepos.

Best of Luck,

You need the development package for building kernel modules... Go to Add/Remove programs and search 'kernel' and after installation the right headers try make again.
