Compiling AVLD on 11.04

Question

How to disable to Call Alert while making call from iPhone?. Programmatically if you call to a number, iPhone ask us confirmation alert before dialing the number. How to avoid this alert message from iPhone App?

Solution

AVLD doesn't appear to be maintained anymore.

A similar video loopback package exists in the repositories which you can install - its called v4l2loopback-source.

Auto Install

First from a terminal, drop to a root shell

sudo su

If you havent installed kernel modules before with module-assistant run the following from a terminal

apt-get install module-assistant
m-a prepare
m-a update

Finally - download and install v4l2loopback

m-a a-i v4l2loopback
exit    

Manual Install

Download the package - once installed it can be found in /usr/src/v4l2loopback.tar.bz2

Copy the package to, for example your ~/Downloads folder compile and install

cd ~/Downloads
tar -xvf v4l2loopback.tar.bz2
cd modules/v4l2loopback
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback

This will create a /dev/video0 or /dev/video1 (etc) device.

I think we cannot do that. Without user permission the os wont allow to make a call or send a message.

Dail: accessno [time gap] pin number [time gap] and phone number, every time if i use tel: command whether it will work?

Or install it with module-assistant.

... excellent pointer @jmendeth

[Alba Mendez]

Anyway, how can I get AVLD (and similar apps which use V4L1) to compile in Ubuntu? What am I missing?

[nilsonneto]

dont think you can - the v4l1 API was dropped with kernel 2.6.15. If you've got a v4l1 only app, have you tried the old trick LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so <appname> ?
