Closed JohnDeeBDD closed 4 years ago

JohnDeeBDD commented 4 years ago

I am following directions from Ask Ubuntu

Getting:

Makefile:34: recipe for target 'AppleCameraInterface' failed
make: *** [AppleCameraInterface] Error 1

I think it has something to do with this? https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/wiki/Get-Started#devvideo-not-created maybe... i don't really know what i'm talking about! :)

@JohnDeeBDD I'm getting the same bug -- I also don't have a /dev/video created, and also don't know much what I'm talking about... Any luck with this?

I came from this Medium article: https://medium.com/@racter/how-to-install-ubuntu-16-04-on-a-retina-macbook-11-2-74e7779c0e47

I got it to work. Not sure exactly what I did! I installed WordPress, then it worked. Some particular dependency. Try installing a LAMP stack then do it again.

Picajoluna commented 4 years ago

You're right, I was missing a dependency.

Checking dependencies for driver download...
/usr/bin/curl
/usr/bin/xzcat
which: no cpio in (/home/john/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin)

I fixed it by installing cpio: sudo pacman -S cpio.
