Arch Linux User Repository

I have been trying to install droidcam for 2 days without success.
When installing, i get cat: /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-5.5-2/version: No such file or directory, but the installation continues. I cant figure out where is this cat comes from, and my kernel is

$ uname -r
$ 5.5.9-arch1-2

when i'm trying to start droidcam, i have the error:

Device not found (/dev/video[0-9]).
Did you install it?

I've tried everything that i can think of, but without success. can anybody help me?

@LevitatingRein I have this obivously not only with this package, while I uninstalled others likev412 module already

Would you not consider this as the point to lok at: "No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory"? It should be a relevant folder been created, but it wasnt. So mistake comes from Kernel or other kernel dependent installations, doesn't it? (I blinded some parts of the higher paths, taking out username for public here)

I saved for example this output: make -C /lib/modules/uname -r/build M=pwd make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.

@Shaka2u1u I was able to build this package fine on Arch just now. I think this is a Manjaro specific issue, and I am having trouble with realizing what might cause it.

Hi, most probably due to the earlier mentioned problems, I dont get it to upgrade on manjaro: Preparing... Cloning droidcam build files... Checking droidcam dependencies... Synchronizing package databases... Resolving dependencies... Checking inter-conflicts...

No idea why it gives this problem still, cause I already rolled back to kerne 4.19

@LevitatingRein, the package have logically splited parts: kernel module and binary utility progrom. DKMS-module will be update module every time for the all installed kernels (when install or update kerenel). Also note droidcam in this packages is simply precompiled binary so more correctly call it droidcam-bin.

@artemklevtsov, that's an interesting idea. I have never worked with shared packages before. What are the benefits to your solution?

Finally my fixes have been pushed, if anyone still faces issues please let me know.

@AwesomeHairbut, I made a disown request for the package a while back, it was now finally accepted, but I wasn't made co-maintainer apparently. If you could make me maintainer that'd be great, then I can finally push my fixes to this repo.

I don't understand what's going on with the ownership of this package but I'm reclaiming for now. I'll be sure to update it within the next 24 hours now that I have time to so again :-)
