hi all,

i did a search in the archive, i found nothing. i have questions about 
artoolkit on linux (redhat 9). first of all, i compiled (./Configure - 
option 1 (video4linux), make). no make install is available? so the 
application will stay in the same directory of the tar xzpf AR...?

i had to ln -s video0 video before using camera_dist. but when i run any 
  examples, i get no video from my bttv cards (works fine in others 
applications (such as pd, effectv). i tried to set input and norm with 
v4lctl. nope. what's wrong?

patrick

yes, it's working fine now.
char *vconf = "-mode=NTSC -channel=0 -dev=/dev/video0";

thank for the quick reply!
patrick

Correct. As we do not currently build shared libraries, installing 
into the root hierarchy is not warranted. There is also the problem 
of where to put things on Windows.

The examples have the video configuration hard-coded in them (do a 
search for "vconf". You will most likely need to change some or all 
of the configuration to suit your particular setup. Take a look at 
the output from the function call arVideoDispOption(); to see what 
options are available to you.

Version number of your ARToolKit release would be helpful when making 
bug reports too.

Regards,
Phil.
