for lin_guider

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

download and untar from http://sourceforge.n...ects/linguider/

sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev
sudo apt-get install libftdi-dev
sudo apt-get install fxload


build usingcd /home/pi/lin_guider/lin_guider_pack/lin_guider
./build.sh

because of many tries i don't remember if i needed additional libraries, but if there is some missing libraries use (i.e if there is an error concerning missing lib gcc)
apt-get search WHATYOUSEARCHHERE | grep -dev
# -dev because you generally need the xxx-dev library
you should be able to have lin_guider build ok and to launch using
cd /home/pi/lin_guider/lin_guider_pack/lin_guider
./lin_guider

at this point the webcam HD-3000 livecam wasn't detected in lin_guider, solution is to:
-> upgrade to latest drivers:
get the update_kernel.sh from   https://mega.nz/#F!wh8l2BjK!OBep3nMldBletvNNwkH2Jg or
https://drive.google.com/folderv ... SEU&usp=sharing

chmod +x update_kernel.sh
su root
./update_kernel.sh

then after the kernel update and rebooting the orange pi
the webcam was working in lin_guider (you need to select it in the video options)
