I followed the pack and bought a QuickCam.  Trying to get *something* 
working.

We'll start with NV:

[Patch/hack/etc newbie warning]

Applied patches from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/qcam.tar.gz to nv 3.3B source
from parcftp.xerox.com.  I applied each patch in turn doing patch <
xxx.diff.  Responded 'y' to query "Reversed patch detected! Assume -R?". 
Tried to compile and get the following error: 

cc -ansi -O2 -DLITTLE_BITFIELDS -DX11GRAB -DQUICKCAM -DNO_SHM 
-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include -c quickcam_grab.c
quickcam_grab.c: In function `QcamGrab_GetFrame8':
quickcam_grab.c:82: too few arguments to function `qc_scan'
quickcam_grab.c:82: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer 
without a cast
*** Error code 1

Stop.

Did I forget something?

NEXT:  vic

I pulled vicbin-2.7a32-linux.tar.gz from Crynwr's (sp?) home site.  Try 
to run it and get:

IP_MULTICAST_LOOP: Invalid argument

Do Linux multicast binaries work under fbsd?  

NEXT:  xfqcam

ld: -lxforms: no match

the library is called libforms.*.....

Tried changing to just -lforms and get a long list of "undefined symbol"s.  

I built the Xforms stuff using the port on ftp.freebsd.org.

Try to run the prebuilt binary and get:

./xfqcam: can't find library 'libXt.so.6'

Someone want to give me the proper Linux library?  :-)

NEXT:  tkqcam (from the qcam-0.3 package)

run ./tkqcam:

unknown option "-variable"
    while executing
"scale .f.bright -variable brightness -from 1 -to 255 -orient horiz 
-label Brightness"
    (file "./tkqcam" line 20)
    invoked from within
"source ./tkqcam"

Grr....

Will someone just tarball up their binaries and put them up for FTP so I 
can grab them?  I'm too desperate and I'm not a hacker yet.  :)

THANKS A BUNCH!
