I have webcam Veo Stingray
- Ox545:8333 (vendor and product ID)
I have Raspberry Pi model A uname -r = Linux raspberrypi 4.1.15+ #830 Tue Dec 15 16:58:28 GMT 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux
gspca drivers from http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html list this webcam as being compatible so I say 'yay' I wget and xzf tarball I download rpi-source I download rpi-update
Perform sudo rpi-update
See https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update for details on rpi-update. You have to be on the latest firmware and associated kernel to be able to perform the next step.
Install and run rpi-source to install the source code that built the latest kernel that you are running. This will create the correct entry in /lib/modules for the kernel that you are running. Note: you don't need to be root to run this, however the script will perform certain tasks using sudo and the root password will be requested during the script execution.
then I would run rpi-source and have error about compiler being different (the one I use from the one kernel was compiled with) so I make sure I use the same compiler by installing alternative
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc 4.x
then I cd into the gspcav1 folder and as root run ./gspca_build
ERROR SAYS:
/home/pi/gspcav1-20071224# ./gspca_build
REMOVE the old module if present
