gspca-source 01.00.20-1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu intrepid does not compile on Linux Mint 17.2

[Peter Hiscocks]

I would like to get this webcam working:
Bus 005 Device 009: ID 093a:050f Pixart Imaging, Inc. Mars-Semi Pc-Camera
It's recognized by the USB system and listed as a supported camera.

Website http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html suggests spca5xx driver.
The appropriate program seems to be gspca-source as documented in the summary.

I tried running 'make' but that fails with an error message.
I also tried running m-a prepare and m-a a-i gspca
That also fails, with a similar error message.

This webcam is used in the Intel microscope, it would be nice to get that working under
Linux. The Windows software that came with it is truly awful. I'll write this up and post
it if I can get a fix.

Thanks for the help -
