 Make single shot snapshots from Philips Toucam pro webcam with vidcat on fedora core 3.
To PNG, and other file formats.

    ftp://download.intel.com/software/products/opensource/downloads/vidcat.tar.gz
   tar xvfz vidcat.tar.gz
   cd vidcat
   tar xvf w3cam-0.7.2.tar
   cd w3cam-0.7.2
   cp Makefile.in Makefile.in-original
   Replace the Makefile.in with this Makefile.in

Or edit Makefile.in to this:
   CC = @CC@
   prefix=@prefix@
   exec_prefix=@exec_prefix@
   sbindir=@sbindir@
   cgibindir=$(prefix)/cgi-bin
   bindir=@bindir@

   VERSION=0.7.2
   CFLAGS = @CFLAGS@ @DEFS@ -DVIDEO_DEV=\"@ac_device@\" -DVERSION=\"$(VERSION)\"
   LDFLAGS = @LDFLAGS@
   LIBS = @LIBS@

   OBJ = w3cam.o cgi.o v4l.o

   default: vidcat vidcat.1 README

   vidcat: vidcat.o v4l.o
     $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ vidcat.o v4l.o $(LIBS)

End Makefile.in--------

Then do :

    ./configure
    make

Test:
    ./vidcat -d /dev/video -f png -p y -s 640x480 > test.png
     Works for me :-)
