tomvigl: That worked for me. -- THANKS

androide7461: first you have to delete the extracted directory, then extract the snapshot again --> THEN modify line 58 to use "readlink -f"

But now, I need to learn how to use it ...

When I start the droidcam client I get a popup saying "Device not found (/dev/video[0-]). Did you install it?"

Check if the right linux-header is installed: pamac search linux-headers | grep $(uname -r | cut -d "-" -f 1,2)

If there is nothing like [Installed] you have to install it: pamac install linux[0-9][0-9]-headers

@AwesomeHaircut I had already earlier mentioned that I downgraded to the old LTS kernel. Still nothing of the mentioned here works. Still am waiting on a CLEAR answer about how and where to add this makepkg -si

Exact location and short tut, please, and I am okay trying it again.

I changed my pkgbuild as you said but it didn't work for me :(

I also had problems installing droidcam on Manjaro with kernel 5.5.13-1-MANJARO! The problem was that extramodules is a symlink. The Solution is to resolve the symlink with "readlink -f".

Change the build file in line 58: MODPATH=$(readlink -f "/usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r | sed 's/.[0-9]+-[0-9]+//')/extramodules")

I have looked at all the comments about my issue (I think), but am still having a problem installing this package. I get the following message:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) droidcam: /usr/lib/modules/5.5.13-1-MANJARO/extramodules exists in filesystem (owned by linux55)

So I downloaded the snapshot and tried "makepkg -si" - and got the exact same error

Maybe this wiki page can get you out of your confusion @Saka2u1u https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg

Again, no need for workarounds or manual installs. Whatever you normally use for installing things should work now.

Actually I think no one even says where and how to use the makepkg -si with which code... Nothing works, enough time wasted. Removed.-
