v4l-utils-1.26.1

Introduction to v4l-utils

v4l-utils provides a series of utilities for media devices, allowing the ability to handle the proprietary formats available from most webcams (libv4l), and providing tools to test V4L devices.

Package Information

v4l-utils Dependencies

Recommended

alsa-lib-1.2.10, GLU-9.0.3, libjpeg-turbo-3.0.1, and (Qt-5.15.11 または qt-alternate-5.15.11)

Optional

Doxygen-1.9.8, SDL2-2.28.5, both LLVM-17.0.6 (with Clang and target BPF) and libbpf (for infrared remote control decoders based on BPF), and SDL_image

Installation of v4l-utils

[注記]

注記

If you've installed both LLVM and libbpf (not in BLFS), either enable the BPF target (via -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=) building LLVM, or disable the infrared remote control decoders based on BPF: 

sed '/^ir_bpf_enabled/s/=.*/= false/' \
    -i utils/keytable/meson.build

Install v4l-utils by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr          \
            -Ddoxygen-doc=disabled \
            -Dgconv=disabled       \
            --buildtype=release    .. &&
ninja

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install

If you also wish to install the contrib programs, add: 

for prog in v4l2gl v4l2grab
do
   cp -v contrib/test/$prog /usr/bin
done

Command Explanations

-Dgconv=disabled: This switch disables the erroneous installation of gconv-modules that would break glibc.
