DroidCam on Raspberry Pi

I have created the install script, but can't find a way to make the uninstall script.

Here is the project link --> https://github.com/open-sorcerer64/Droid-Cam-RPi

@Itai-Nelken and @Botspot what do you think

BTW, Get well soon @Botspot

No update guys!

Itai-Nelken · 2021-08-01T13:41:50Z

Sorry, I don't have time to review the scripts right now. But it's on my todo list.

techcoder20 · 2021-08-02T06:25:18Z

Why do use && in every command, and also why do you install every dependency with one separate command, and instead of providing the tar.gz cant you provide the pre built deb, and what should the droidcam-raspberrypi-auto-install folder have ? Also aren't you installing/building in the droidcam-raspberrypi-auto-install directory so shouldn't removing that and uninstalling the dependencies be enough for uninstalling the app?

open-sorcerer64 · 2021-08-02T12:14:31Z

Hello

Why do use && in every command, and also why do you install every dependency with one separate command

I didn't knew that you can run the script even without using && which I will improve. I installed every dependency with a separate command because I was afraid of breaking the script, also this script will use pkg-install when it comes on Pi-Apps

and instead of providing the tar.gz cant you provide the pre built deb

I don't know how to make debs or make apt repos, so....... You can help me if you know, on my Discord

and what should the droidcam-raspberrypi-auto-install folder have

The script and the repository, I guess

techcoder20 · 2021-08-02T12:33:02Z

I don't know how to make debs or make apt repos, so......

Are you not making and installing a deb here

sudo make install 
sudo make deb 
sudo dpkg -i libjpeg-turbo_2.1.0_armhf.deb

Cant you just add that deb file to your repo so that your dont have to build it every time

open-sorcerer64 · 2021-08-05T10:12:09Z

debs.tar.gz

@techcoder20 what do you think, will this work

open-sorcerer64 · 2021-08-09T03:49:43Z

Hello everyone

So, I have made the deb files as insisted by @techcoder20 you can see it at https://github.com/open-sorcerer64/Droid-Cam-RPi/tree/deb-testing
I have not created the scripts as I am not sure if this will work or not, but it should be simple. I have done other things like adding the icon and stuff
DroidCam.zip

@Itai-Nelken and @Botspot what do you think

open-sorcerer64 · 2021-08-10T05:41:41Z

Anyone who checked??

Itai-Nelken · 2021-08-10T10:01:37Z

if the debs work than all that's left to do is to write the scripts.
unfortunately we don't really have time for that... so can you write the scripts? if you need help just ask.

open-sorcerer64 · 2021-08-15T06:23:25Z

I can't make the script! Things aren't working and also I have exams. Can you do it @Botspot?

open-sorcerer64 · 2021-08-21T10:16:15Z

Anyone

Itai-Nelken · 2021-08-21T12:12:08Z

we don't have the time to make the scripts...

open-sorcerer64 · 2021-08-21T16:32:39Z

we don't have the time to make the scripts...

Neither do I, so..... I think we should suspend this issue for now.

Hello

Guys, I have made the install and uninstall scripts for both 32 and 64 bit. Please check

Also, I know it isn't perfect as we need to add desktop icons and stuff but I'll do it after the scripts are approved by @Botspot

@cycool29 your apt repos are PROBABLY corrupt. Can you please try to fix it. Also, for now you can install the dependencies from apt if pkg-install doesn't work.

open-sorcerer64 · 2021-10-16T13:43:29Z

@Botspot can you please check

Itai-Nelken · 2021-10-16T14:14:59Z

That isn't a messed up apt. the package gtk-3.0 doesn't exist.
also the error that stopped the script is make[1]: *** /lib/modules/5.10.63-v8+/build: No such file or directory. Stop.

open-sorcerer64 · 2021-10-17T08:48:21Z

@cycool29 can you please install cmake and try again

Itai-Nelken · 2021-10-17T18:53:03Z

@cycool29 can you please install cmake and try again

That's not the problem, the problem is this line: make[1]: *** /lib/modules/5.10.63-v8+/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
Specifically /lib/modules/5.10.63-v8+/build: No such file or directory..

cycool29 · 2021-10-18T01:12:01Z

@cycool29 can you please install cmake and try again

Sorry for the late reply.

Well I found I messed up my kernel and I reflashed my pi and the make[1]: *** /lib/modules/5.10.63-v8+/build: No such file or directory. Stop. problem solved.

I have improved your scripts in :

Use git_clone
Install libjpeg-turbo_2.1.0_armhf.deb with pkg-install
Added libasound2-dev for audio and removed gtk+-3.0 as it is not a package but regex
Added libplist-dev (from the dependencies list)
Added sudo ./install-sound for audio
Added few error messages
Use sudo if make failed
Use sudo for uninstallation
Cleanup after installation (remove Droid-Cam-RPi folder)

Tested on RPi OS armhf, works well with Google Meet, will test later with Zoom.

Thanks 😊
It works with zoom. I am going to see if there's a new version of libjpeg-turbo that we can use

Also, can anyone test it on 64 bit? The process should be same except you'll have to install the arm64 version of libjpeg-turbo.

open-sorcerer64 · 2021-10-19T09:16:23Z

I just found a new version of libjpeg-turbo. I am adding it to the script and project file

Also, I think gtk+-3.0 is important but I am not sure

It gave me an error without it

cycool29 · 2021-10-20T00:01:33Z

Also, I think gtk+-3.0 is important but I am not sure

It gave me an error without it

The gtk+-3.0 is not a apt package, it is a regex.
The name for it on apt is libgtk-3-dev. I think libgtk-3-dev and build-essential should be added to the pkg-install

But sometimes pkg-config can't find the gtk+-3.0. This often occurs if the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable is not set correctly. So I added these few lines on my improved script:

#unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH if pkg-config unable to find gtk+3.0
if ! pkg-config --modversion gtk+3.0 &>/dev/null; then
  unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
fi

This will check if pkg-config is able to find gtk+-3.0, if false, unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH .
This solution is from this stackoverflow answer.

However, from the stackoverflow link, unsetting PKG_CONFIG_PATH sometimes won't fix the problem. It needs further debug and check for the correct path for PKG_CONFIG_PATH, but this is a bit hard for the script to do so for the user. Maybe we can add these lines in the install script:

# Check again if pkg-config is able to find gtk+-3.0 module
if ! pkg-config --modversion gtk+3.0 &>/dev/null; then
  error "pkg-config failed to find gtk+-3.0 module! \nPlease follow the instruction from https://stackoverflow.com/a/50038996 and run the script again."
fi

cycool29 · 2021-11-02T02:49:55Z

Any updates on this? I think it is ready to put on pi-apps. @Botspot

cycool29 · 2021-11-02T02:54:49Z

Except for the gtk+-3.0 problem. Everything works

You said you got an error without it, what is the error?
