Comment 46 for bug 269123

Nikola,
I had problems with the webcam as well for ages with no solution. However, I did manage to compile today using the latest driver from the http://sourceforge.net/projects/syntekdriver/. The problem seems to lie with the stk11xx-v4lc.c file, which was issuing an ERROR 2 on compiling. I just copied the file packaged with the 1.4 source files to the new directory I had created with the svn command, and it compiled without any problems. It works on preview in Skype, but not yet tried calling.
Hope this helps.
It seems that there is a syntax problem with the stk11xx-v4lc.c file that is shipped with the source files, but I can't work out what it is as I am rubbish at that sort of thing.
