GTK UVC VIEWER (guvcview)
*************************
Basic Configuration
===================
*Dependencies:
--------------
Guvcview depends on the following:
- intltool,
- autotools,
- libsdl,
- libgtk-3,
- portaudio19,
- libpng,
- libavcodec,
- libavutil,
- libv4l,
- libudev,
- libpulse (optional)
On most distributions you can just install the development
packages:
intltool, autotools-dev, libsdl1.2-dev, libgtk-3-dev,
portaudio19-dev, libpng12-dev, libavcodec-dev, libavutil-dev,
libv4l-dev, libudev-dev, libpulse-dev
*Build configuration:
---------------------
(./bootstrap.sh; ./configure)
The configure script is generated from configure.ac by autoconf,
the helper script ./bootstrap.sh can be used for this, it will also
run the generated configure with the command line options passed.
After configuration a simple 'make && make install' will build and
install guvcview and all the associated data files.
*Data Files:
------------
(language files; image files; gnome menu entry)
guvcview data files are stored by default to /usr/local/share
setting a different prefix (--prefix=BASEDIR) during configuration
will change the installation path to BASEDIR/share.
Built files, src/guvcview and data/gnome.desktop, are dependent
on this path, so if a new prefix is set a make clean is required
before issuing the make command.
After running the configure script the normal, make && make install
should build and install all the necessary files.
*guvcview bin:
--------------
(src/guvcview)
The binarie file installs to the standart location,
/usr/local/bin, to change the install path, configure
must be executed with --prefix=DIR set, this will cause
the bin file to be installed in DIR/bin, make sure
DIR/bin is set in your PATH variable, or the gnome
menu entry will fail.
*guvcview.desktop:
------------------
(data/guvcview.desktop)
The desktop file (gnome menu entry) is built from the
data/guvcview.desktop.in definition and is dependent on the
configure --prefix setting, any changes to this, must
be done in data/guvcview.desktop.in.
*configuration files:
---------------------
(~/.guvcviewrc)
The configuration file is saved into the $HOME dir when
exiting guvcview. If a video device with index > 0,
e.g: /dev/video1 is used then the file stored will be
named .guvcviewrc-video1
