xawtv on FC5?

[doGSOP]

Does anyone have xawtv running on FC5? I can't find a binary rpm and can't seem to build from sources.

Trying to build from sources fails with the following errors:

LD console/fbtv
console/fs.o: In function `fs_connect':console/fs.c:196: undefined reference to `FSOpenServer'
:console/fs.c:198: undefined reference to `FSServerName'

:console/fs.c:244: undefined reference to `FSQueryXBitmaps16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [console/fbtv] Error 1

I've tried compiling with gcc 4.1 and also with 3.2, I get the same result in both cases.

Any help would be appreciated.

xawtv requires zvbi as a dependency which is available for FC5 in freshrpms.net

in fact, 'zvbi-devel' would be required because it contains the static libraries and header files needed for building programs that use the zvbi library.

Error with zvbi and zvbi-devel installed:

the missing files were part of Xfree86-devel which isnt in use by Fedora any more.
are libFS and libFS-devel installed?

I have the same problem.

Did anyone manage to solve this problem? Any help is appriciated

I managed to get the latest xawtv to compile and run by using the following configure line.

./configure --x-include=/usr/include/X11/ --x-libraries=/usr/lib/X11/

I had also installed the libfs and libfs-devel packages as well.

Hope that helps someone.

Hi, that should be --x-includes (plural).

I had to first install libFS-devel, and add the --x-includes=/usr/include/X11/fonts instead of just /usr/include/X11

After I did this, it built and installed. But when I use it, I just get a black or blue screen. I tweeked the settings, and I may get a brief flicker of a TV image, but it keeps reverting to a black or blue screen.

Does it work for you?

Hi
I had installed xawtv from a rpm

http://dl.atrpms.net/all/xawtv-3.95-19.fc5.at.i386.rpm

needs tv-fonts and zvbi, rpm pkgs of both are available in freshrpms repository I think

I did a:

# sudo apt-get install libfs-dev

and it got rid of the original error of this post, but only to be replaced by a new error:

looks like it starts here:

Any suggestions??

Fedora DOSE NOT use "apt-get"

As I understand... Fedora is LINUX... and you can use any method you like to get applications and software? ... (be it GIT repositories, downloading and building the code from scratch, or using a GUI Software manager, among others).

I wasn't giving instructions!! ...I tried alot of things from this post and nothing has worked INCLUDING:

./configure --x-include=/usr/include/X11/ --x-libraries=/usr/lib/X11/

which does not get rid of either of the make file errors.

V4L IS NOT DEAD
I thought V4L is very much still alive, in that it is embedded into most open sorce vision processing code I have seen.

THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED!!
I did not see anything refering to the new error I have received? THIS implies that nobody has solved the problem to receive the new error I have received.

WHAT AM I TRYING TO DO?
I am trying to add code to the 'webcam' program built into the XAWTV source code so that I can speed up the process of my image processing program. If your interested.. The idea is... to process the image directly inside the program instead of saving it to a file and reading it back in (thus saving Read/Write time).
