Huh? It compiles just fine.

Most likely you've fallen victim to the wxPython vs. wxGTK3 brain
damage. To get wxcam to compile, (re)install wxPython. Whichever of
wxPython or wxGTK3 gets installed last "wins" the /usr/bin/wx-config
symlink.

No need, if it actually works. I can compile it, but I don't have easy
access to any webcam to test it with.
