Description : wxCam is a webcam application which supports video recording in an avi uncompressed and Xvid format, snapshot taking, and some special commands for philips webcams, so you can also use the program for astronomy purposes. It should work on a very large number of devices. Without webcam, starting it from the menu popped a window about no relevant device "Cannot open /dev/video0.", fair enough. Dismissing that did lead to a correct looking application window. From console, closing it Alt/X : $ wxcam Warning: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected. The library used 2.8 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI 1014,wx containers,compatible with 2.6), and your program used 2.8 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI 1013,wx containers,compatible with 2.6). /dev/video0: No such file or directory The application menus look interesting, but again there does not seem to be any user information at all, from application, the command line, or /usr/doc. The host site http://wxcam.sourceforge.net has a little information. On this basis, perhaps we should drop it; without bothering about the flaky build. Awaiting other people's opinion. If we keep it, it should go to pkg-bugs for the fault correction.

CC'ing AlexL, who did a lot of work on this package in 2015, in case he thinks there is a good reason to keep this package instead of obsoleting it.

I made a mistake about documentation. There is some in /usr/share/doc/wxcam/README but just about building it.

(In reply to Marja Van Waes from comment #2) > CC'ing AlexL, who did a lot of work on this package in 2015 I just noticed from the given project URl, most recent News: 06/11/2011 wxCam 1.1 released. For M8 we have wxcam-1.1-12.mga8.tainted.src.rpm.
wxcam got obsoleted. dead and does not build anymore
