Hello, Inspired by the other digicam thread I took a quick look at an older problem of mine, namely getting libgphoto2 to compile drivers for all cameras.
Anyone got a clue why *not* setting CAMERAS won't build drivers for all cameras as claimed several times in the libgphoto2 ebuild? All I see is that CAMERAS variable is not handled directly by the ebuild (but maybe libgphoto2's Makefiles or build scripts do something with it?), and when I comment out CAMERAS="canon" line from /etc/make.conf, then *poof* libgphoto2 plans to drop even that only driver I currently have compiled: [ebuild R ] media-libs/libgphoto2-2.4.3 USE="exif hal nls -bonjour -doc" CAMERAS="-adc65 -agfa_cl20 -aox -barbie -canon* -casio_qv -clicksmart310 -digigr8 -digita -dimagev -dimera3500 -directory -enigma13 -fuji -gsmart300 -hp215 -iclick -jamcam -jd11 -jl2005a -kodak_dc120 -kodak_dc210 -kodak_dc240 -kodak_dc3200 -kodak_ez200 -konica -konica_qm150 -largan -lg_gsm -mars -mustek -panasonic_coolshot -panasonic_dc1000 -panasonic_dc1580 -panasonic_l859 -pccam300 -pccam600 -polaroid_pdc320 -polaroid_pdc640 -polaroid_pdc700 -ptp2 -ricoh -ricoh_g3 -samsung -sierra -sipix_blink -sipix_blink2 -sipix_web2 -smal -sonix -sony_dscf1 -sony_dscf55 -soundvision -spca50x -sq905 -stv0674 -stv0680 -sx330z -template -topfield -toshiba_pdrm11" 5,052 kB Something's fishy with this and I just haven't had the time to investigate further. A quick glance-comparison shows libgphoto2 ebuild missing the critical lines actually doing something with the CAMERAS variable -- while for similar variable settings lines exists for, e.g., lirc (LIRC_DEVICES) and alsa-driver (ALSA_CARDS) in their respective ebuilds. After taking a two-minute look at the ebuilds I just have the question: is it supposed to work, does leaving it empty work for someone? -- Arttu V.
