I tried to get stuff building using the Gem build system, but I couldn't get it going, so I just made a Makefile which seems to work. For one, it seems to depend on automake-1.11, which is not always easily available. I see no reason why the Gem plugins can work for automake-1.9 or even earlier, its not a complicated build.<br> <br></blockquote><div><br>On the Mac and Windows the proper way to do this is to make Quicktime components or DirectShow filters so any application can use the device.

Plus much of Quicktime is deprecated for 64-bit, so that means a nightmare if you want to support both 32-bit and 64-bit on Mac OS X: you have to write for both Quicktime and the new API, which isn't even fully defined yet. I don't know much about writing DirectShow plugins.<div><br></div><div>.hc<div apple-content-edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><br></div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br></div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div>'You people have such restrictive dress for women,’ she said, hobbling away in three inch heels and panty hose to finish out another pink-collar temp pool day. - “Hijab Scene #2", by Mohja Kahf</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span> </div><br></div></body></html>
