No need to compile anything! The binary is already on the roboRIO
One thing to note: In our experiments, either v4l2 or the Lifecam seemed to implement poor exposure control; we were only able to set it to one of the extremes (super high or super low). Thankfully, the super low exposure was able to pick up the retroreflective tape well, and so there was no need to use an exposure in the middle.
