Describe the bug

gphoto2 isn't listing any cameras when --auto-detect is used

I am trying to get this running on the latest release of octopi (Debian linux) running on a raspberry pi.

Name the camera None shown. But lsusb shows my A7iii:

It's written right there in your log:

And

libgphoto2_port 0.12.2 iolibs: disk ptpip serial, gcc, no ltdl, no EXIF, no USB, serial without locking

mikeev261 commented 1 year ago

OK, but how does that reconcile with this?

Tried the following: 

:/usr/local/lib $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/libgphoto2_port:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
:/usr/local/lib $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/libgphoto2:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

:/usr/local/lib $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/libgphoto2_port.so:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Getting the same result though.

BTW, I could just be installing this all wrong. Here's more background as far as what's going on:

libgphoto2:

  1. autoreconf --install --symlink
  2. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
  3. sudo make
  4. sudo make install

gphoto2:

  1. autoreconf -is
  2. ./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig${PKG_CONFIG_PATH+":${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}"}" --prefix="/usr/local"
  3. sudo make
  4. sudo make install

And with this, I wound up with: 

gphoto2         2.5.28.1       gcc, popt(m), no exif, no cdk, no aa, jpeg, no readline
libgphoto2      2.5.30.1       standard camlibs (SKIPPING docupen lumix), gcc, no ltdl, no EXIF

Note the /usr/local/lib locations. The fact that libgphoto2's instructions seem to default to /usr/local and gphoto2's instructions default to $HOME/.local was a bit confusing to me. I've tried just using ./configure without arguments (for both packages), ./configure pointing to /usr/local for both (my latest attempt), and tried pointing to $HOME/.local for both (which failed with access errors). I feel the source of my issues probably lies here, but if there is a comprehensive install guide that anyone can recommend I'd be happy to try that.

hfiguiere commented 1 year ago

I thought this was clear. libgphoto2 was built without USB support.

hfiguiere commented 1 year ago

@msmeissn I would make libgphoto2 configure fail if libusb isn't found. There is virtually no use case otherwise.

mikeev261 commented 1 year ago

I thought this was clear. libgphoto2 was built without USB support.

libusb appears to be installed on this system (apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev shows it as already installed). And this was the same state when I built libgphoto2, but I tried a rebuild anyway (no help).

hfiguiere commented 1 year ago

it's definitely not built. it say this in two places

mikeev261 commented 1 year ago

I'm out of ideas then. I give up :). Thanks for trying to help.

mikeev261 commented 1 year ago

I managed to get it working. Had to ask ChatGPT to write new documentation... which worked (well sort-of... going to need to open a new issue for the next problem). In case anyone else hits a similar issue, here's the install documentation that ChatGPT wrote:

Please follow the instructions below:

  1. Update the system:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

  2. Install the required dependencies:

    sudo apt install build-essential libusb-dev libjpeg-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libltdl-dev libexif-dev

  3. Clone the libgphoto2 repository from GitHub:

    cd ~
git clone https://github.com/gphoto/libgphoto2.git

  4. Build and install libgphoto2:

    cd libgphoto2
autoreconf --install --symlink
./configure
make
sudo make install

  5. Clone the gphoto2 repository from GitHub:

    cd ~
git clone https://github.com/gphoto/gphoto2.git

  6. Build and install gphoto2:

    cd gphoto2
autoreconf --install --symlink
./configure
make
sudo make install

  7. Update shared library cache:

    sudo ldconfig

  8. Verify the installation:

    gphoto2 --version

    This command should display the version information for gphoto2.

If you hit permissions issues accessing the camera over USB, do the following: 

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-permissions.rules

Add the following line to the file, replacing "vendor_id" and "product_id" with the values from your USB device:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="vendor_id", ATTRS{idProduct}=="product_id", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0664"

Add user to the plugdev group: Add your user account to the "plugdev" group using the following command:

sudo usermod -aG plugdev <your_username>

Reload udev rules: To apply the changes made to the udev rules, reload them using the following command:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

This got me connected to the camera and can take an image. I can hear the camera snap the shot. But there is a lot of lag between the point in which the image is captured. Will open a new ticket for this. Closing this one...

Referencing the latest issue here just in case it's related (which I doubt):

https://github.com/gphoto/libgphoto2/issues/914

msmeissn commented 1 year ago

there is a virtual usb testing builds, or I can envision other build models.

But perhaps configure can be made to hard required --disable-usb in such cases, and hard fail if it does not detect libusb otherwise.
