In my own humble way, I have already invested quite a bit of effort in compiling 'gphoto2' for OS2008. Unfortunately, it is rather flaky in real life.
- thanks for the good work... i tried building the latest gphoto2 on my OS X system and ran into a bag of worms (nikon wifi read/write code) and failed dependencies, so i understand effort you put into this...

- AFA Canons - i'd probably go with a simpler approach and use:

http://libptp.sourceforge.net/

- the ptcam client builds easily under the latest Maemo SDK, but is a large, auto-built shell script that ends up containing hard links to the temp libs (/scratchbox/user/foo/home/foo/myproject/liptp, etc.)!

(now to figure out an NFS mount of /home/user on the NIT for development or somehow bribe a NIT Python hacker for a gui client link to libptp)...

:-)

p.s. fortunately the ITOS libusb seems to support most of these external libs... but a good port of gphoto2 would be a *killer app* for the NIT!!!
