I want to compile and use latest uvc driver on 12.04. I have researched on web but cannot find anything helpful.
Could you please give me some advices on this topic?
Best wishes.
Linux 2.6.26 and newer includes the Linux UVC driver natively. You will not need to download the driver sources manually unless you want to test a newer version or help with development.
To know how to download and compile please check these official instructions
