Re: [Ltib] webcam-tools - LTIB

Hi Stuart,

Yes, the best way to know is probably to try! In order not to have to readapt the Logitech source code and Makefiles each time there is a new version, using cmake is probably the best way.

Are you aware of existing packages in LTIB which use cmake? In addition to this, this project is also using gengetopt as a parser generator.

Well, I am going to try to configure cmake today. I will keep you informed.

Hi Franz,

That's difficult to answer without actually trying it.  My instinct
would be that it would be better to get cmake installed on your host and
try to have that work within the LTIB build environment.  In the LTIB
build environment gcc is the cross compiler etc, so maybe it would not
be too bad.

Regards, Stuart
