fakecam

A thin JNI layer over v4l2loopback module.

How to build

Find the location of jni_md.h

locate "jni_md.h"

Compile the library

Replace by jni_md.h directory found by the previous command.

gcc -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0/include -I<PATH TO JNI_MD.H> -lrt -lpthread -fPIC -shared -o libfakecam.so fakecam.c

Fedora 30 Example:

gcc -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0/include -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.222.b10-0.fc30.x86_64/include/linux/ -lrt -lpthread -fPIC -shared -o libfakecam.so FakeCam.c

It will produce a libfakecam.so file
