Started at 16 October 2023, 07:11 as a subproject of Mergen IV.
This is a mere command-line program. As soon as the program starts, recording from first detected webcam, microphone and touchpad will begin. The main thread listens if you press the Enter button; then it will stop recording.
~$ make
~$ build/Mergen
This project was initially regarded as a temporary bridge between Android and FreeBSD; because FreeBSD has limited utilities for webcam, microphone and touch, compared to Linux, I decided to first mount Mergen on Linux (Ubuntu) and then for (Free)BSD.
But then I realised that FreeBSD uses the same webcam drivers of Linux ported as webcamd, so it can easily be modified for use in FreeBSD. By bringing Video4Linux2 headers, I finally made it run on FreeBSD.
I had chosen Open Sound System (OSS) for the task, but Ubuntu had dropped support for it, therefore I couldn't use Ubuntu anymore. I decided to completely switch to FreeBSD, so I forked this project as Mergen4BSD.
And MergenLinux was archived at 12 November 2023.
After I realised that FreeBSD has so limited support for Vulkan, OpenCL and CUDA, I was disappointed with FreeBSD and archived Mergen4BSD at 21 April 2024! And decided to continue MergenLinux.
