Gphoto2 as a buildroot package

02 Dec 2019

For everyone who needs to run gphoto on a buildroot system and wants to save some time:

Create a new package named gphoto2 in the package dir and add these two files:

package/gphoto2/Config.in

config BR2_PACKAGE_GPHOTO2
    bool "gphoto2"
    select BR2_PACKAGE_POPT
    select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGPHOTO2
        help
          gPhoto2 is a free, redistributable, ready to use set of digital 
          camera software applications for Unix-like systems, written by 
          a whole team of dedicated volunteers around the world. 
          It supports more than 2500 cameras.

          http://www.gphoto.org/

package/gphoto2/gphoto2.mk

GPHOTO2_VERSION = 2.5.23
GPHOTO2_SOURCE = gphoto2-$(GPHOTO2_VERSION).tar.bz2
GPHOTO2_SITE = https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/gphoto/gphoto/$(GPHOTO2_VERSION)

GPHOTO2_LICENSE_FILES = COPYING
GPHOTO2_INSTALL_STAGING = YES

GPHOTO2_DEPENDENCIES = libgphoto2 popt

GPHOTO2_CONF_ENV = POPT_CFLAGS="-I$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/include" POPT_LIBS="-L$(STAGING_DIR)/usr -lpopt"

$(eval $(autotools-package))

If running buildroot with the external_tree option, the package needs to be added to the general Config.in file:

source "$BR2_EXTERNAL_(EXTERNAL_TREE_NAME)_PATH/package/gphoto2/Config.in"

otherwise to package/Config.in
