I've built a somewhat embedded gentoo system that I use on a robot. I'm |
| 2 |
adding a webcam, which is a brand new field for me. I'm not even sure |
| 3 |
how to define what I'm looking for. |

I'm not using embedded-gentoo because I wanted to use the standard libc |
| 6 |
and not uclibc. |

I'd like to be able to stream video from the webcam. I don't need full |
| 9 |
tv quality - even a jpeg every second or so will be fine. Trouble is, |
| 10 |
all the software I've found so far assumes X and many other heavy |
| 11 |
libraries. All I want is to capture jpeg images - I could write the |
| 12 |
TCP/IP server part myself. |

I'm using a creative notebook webcam and the spca5xx driver. There is a |
| 15 |
suite of applications in a package called spcaview but it depends on X. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Can anyone suggest a solution, or at least a path of further research? |

Perhaps what I'm looking for is a framegrabber and not a full webcam |
| 20 |
server? |

Thanks, |
