#133 installing webcamstudio no make file

[Jun Saturay]

I have been trying to install webcamstudio-0.73 downloaded from sourceforge.net. I extracted the folder and followed README instructions. When I try to run make on terminal I get
$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

I am on ubuntustudio 14.04 with OpenJDK Java7. I tried the same on a lenovo x201 laptop and another desktop, all running ubuntustudio 14.04, I get the same result.

Can you help me out?

Hi Jun Saturay and thanks for the feedback.
In Ubuntu the easiest way to install WS is using the PPA.
From a terminal type:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webcamstudio/webcamstudio-dailybuilds
,,, and then:
$ sudo apt-get update
... and finally:
$ sudo apt-get install webcamstudio

Restart the system and all should be ready to run.

To compile from source you cannot use the make command because WS is written in Java.
You can download NetBeansIDE from Oracle:
https://netbeans.org/downloads/
(Java SE version is enough) and then do a checkout from SF using the following URL:
svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/webcamstudio/code/trunk

Have a good day.
