How to build and make your own effect on CheeseCam?

[Marko Pudas <markopudas yahoo com>]

Hi,

Is there / or can you tell, for an old MS/VC user, how in linux/Ubuntu I can

1) build and

2) make your own effect

on CheeseCam? I got the code, but how to build it? Guide for dummies?

Where and how to filter each pixel, e.i.

for (;x<maxX;x++)

    for (;y<maxY;y++)

        {Redpixel[x][y] /=2; }

-> output modified picture, for example..?

Thanks..
