1908:1320 digital photo frame success with 2.6.10.1 gphoto / libgphoto2

[Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net>]

Hi, as a non-developer I had reported a lack of success in using a 
digital photo frame under Debian:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=561972

Hans de Goede had reported success with supporting digital picture 
frames with the following USB ID's:

1403:0001
1908:1315
1908:1320
1908:0102

on his web site http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/9183.html and 
provided a link to
http://picframe.spritesserver.nl/wiki/index.php/UsingAsPicframe which 
provided generic instructions.

I had obtained more recent source (2.4.10.1) from the Sourceforge 
repository:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gphoto/

and subscribed to the mailing lists which are also available on 
gmane.org, but require registration to post:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gphoto-user

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gphoto-devel

[Aside, it is not easy to find the web pages for mailing lists on 
Sourceforge]

To build on Debian I did the following:

apt-get build-dep libgphoto2

apt-get source libgphoto2

and downloaded libgphoto2 2.4.10.1 source from sourceforge and unpacked it.

I copied the debian directory from the Debian source to the libgphoto2 
2.4.10.1 directory and removed some non-compatible patches from 
debian/patches, leaving:

10_disable_cache               45_increase_canon_timeout  80_kfreebsd
11_hurd_no_path_max_bsdsource  70_increase_max_entries    series

I also installed libgd2-xpm-dev (libgd2-xpm was already installed).
Without libgd2*dev, the source code will build but will not be able to 
transfer picture files to and from the frame successfully.

I then built and installed the created packages:

cd libgphoto2-2.4.10.1
debuild -b
cd ..
ls -t *.deb|head -2|xargs dpkg -i

and also ran:

libgphoto2-2.4.10.1/packaging/generic# ./print-camera-list udev-rules 
version 136 > /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libgphoto2.rules

Then as a user I could run:

gphoto2 --shell

and move picture files from the photo frame. I have yet to resize and 
convert to PNG format images to upload to the frame.

Thanks to Hans de Goede for his work in getting this digital photo frame 
working!

Arthur.
