Lighweight though it may be, I use cheese at my workplace daily for hi resolution document projection, because it plays very nice with my autofocus 2 megapixel webcam under ubuntu intrepid- are you hoping to use the N800 webcam or a usb one?

My goal was to use it with the built-in camera.
Here's the post where Stskeeps announces that he has it working in Deblet, along with instructions on getting it to work.

I'm having a look at it right now. Will report back soon.
Edit: It needs gio and would need some other libraries, although the other libraries can be replaced by what is in the SDK, afaict.
About the hildon version: It's mostly the stuff that one has to do to port apps to hildon (reparent the main menu, etc..). It also uses the users's home folder (MyDocs, etc..) as a save location. Apart from that, it's stock Cheese 2.24.
Maybe porting an older version of cheese (pre-GIO, i.e. gnomevfs, etc..) that uses more Diablo-like versions of the needed libraries will work? Porting the hildon-specific changes back to an older version should not be too hard.

I've tried downloading an older version (0.3.0) of cheese and see if I can tweak it to get compiled in Scratchbox. I've uploaded an armel binary .deb that should work in diablo, although I did not care about dependencies, so you might need to install them by hand:
http://khan.thpinfo.com/~thp/tmp/che....0-1_armel.deb
http://khan.thpinfo.com/~thp/tmp/cheese-maemo.tar.gz
Problems (which make this current version unusable
:
* Saving videos is not possible
* Setting an effect crashes the app
* NO live video preview (ugly!)
What works:
* Starting cheese
* Making a photo (is saved in "Images" in MyDocs, so you should be able to use your file browser to see the photos
Maybe someone more familiar with GStreamer can have a look at this?

All times are GMT. The time now is 00:46.
The Ubuntu repositories have something called cheese-hildon. That suggests that someone's hildonized cheese for ubuntu-mid. There's even an armel binary, but with a truckload of ubuntu-specific dependencies.
I would love to see if someone could get this compiled for maemo.
