How to Arduino Yun support Creative Live! VISTA VF0470 webcam?

kaul:
@noblepepper: Thank you so much. My Webcam works now! Awesome job, thanks for your help.

I have one question regarding fswebcam, maybe someone has an answer to it:

fswebcam has a feature built in where you can write the actual date on the shots the cam makes. However I receive this error:

--- Processing captured image...

Unable to load font 'sans': libgd was not built with FreeType font support




I also tried to define the path to the font, then however I receive only the error that freetype font support is not given. I understand, that this is an issue of libgd, but maybe someone knows a workaround?

Thanks for your help.

recompile libgd with freetype support.

nano ~/OpenWrt-yun/package/feeds/packages/gd/Makefile

CONFIGURE_ARGS += \
        --enable-shared \
        --enable-static \
        --disable-rpath \
        --without-x \
        --without-fontconfig \
        --without-freetype \
        --with-jpeg=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr \
        --with-png=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr \
        --without-xpm \
        --without-iconv

remove " --without-freetype " then recompile libgd. then remove installed libgd force install new revision one. I have not chance to test it but you should go ahead try it yourself.
