Right, but those are part of the instructions. The getting started guide says to install the required service (bonjour for windows, etc) and then connect to the Omega's wifi network. If you just connect to the network first w/o bothering with the extra install of a service, you can then just go to the .lan name in a browser and you're in. Seems like you get to drop a step and an extra piece of software.

Does the .local name then work from your home wifi once the Omega is configured to connect to your home wifi? If so, then that's what I'm missing cause clearly that's handy. I just connect via IP all the time.

An administrator is fine to delete this post if this is really bad advice, but I can't figure out why the instructions are to install the bonjour service to be able to get to omega-ABCD.local. Sure, that might work, but why install an annoying service just to get that .local domain. The domain on my Omega and all the configs I've seen posted is .lan, not .local. The dnsmasq on the Omega responds just fine to requests for .lan. So I'm not understanding why the instructions aren't to just use omega-ABCD.lan in the broswer which works right out the gate regardless of the browser or OS.

Reply to my own thread because it's all good.

Being an apt-get and yum guy, I thought the "search" was actually searching repositories. Turns out I guess not, because I basically stumbled across http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/ which has gobs of stuff, including gphoto2, the libraries, and camera drivers already to go. Installed, working, awesome.

Hopefully this helps an experienced linux person but a total noob to embedded systems like me.

Hello,

I'm struggling mightily to get gphoto2 to compile in a cross-compiler environment that I have. I'm not a good "make" user anyway and I'm struggling to get the cross compiler to stop using stuff from the host machine (latest is libltdl.so which it wants to pull from the host machine for some reason). Anyway, I saw before I bought my Omega that someone had gphoto2 compiled and there were packages so I thought that'd just be easy-peezy, but it turns out they must have been compiled for the older model because trying to install them w/opkg just gives me an architecture mismatch.

I tried putting libgphoto2 in a zip after trimming it down a bit to be under 4MB and then using the cloud compiler, but it's stuck in "queued" so either my stuff is bad or the cloud compiler is broken.

I'm normally not someone to bother a group, but if someone, anyone out there, happens to have gphoto2 compiled for an Omega2+ and can shove the packages somewhere downloadable, I'd buy the drinks if you're ever in my neck of the woods.

Thanks
