Installation

Installing this library is as easy as pip install!

pip install wyzecam

... almost. You will also need a copy of the shared library libIOTCAPIs_ALL.so. You will need to download this SDK, unzip it, then convert the appropriate copy of the library to a shared library, and copy the resultant .so or .dylib file to somewhere convenient.

On Mac:

unzip TUTK_IOTC_Platform_14W42P1.zip
cd Lib/MAC/
g++ -fpic -shared -Wl,-all_load libIOTCAPIs_ALL.a -o libIOTCAPIs_ALL.dylib
cp libIOTCAPIs_ALL.dylib /usr/local/lib/

On Linux:

unzip TUTK_IOTC_Platform_14W42P1.zip
cd Lib/Linux/x64/
g++ -fpic -shared -Wl,--whole-archive libAVAPIs.a libIOTCAPIs.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -o libIOTCAPIs_ALL.so
cp libIOTCAPIs_ALL.so /usr/local/lib/

Note: you will need to pick the appropriate architecture.
