It's too bad webcam doesn't loop, it also has the option TRIGGER = 1 for image 
comparison.

I won't have that problem with the puppy...

Looking at this it is perfect for what I need. I just don't have the 
experience to build it.

Even after I installed automake and autoconf it still poops out although very 
informatively so...

Please use AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external]) in order to cause autoconfiguration
to look for an external libintl.
 
Please create po/Makevars from the template in po/Makevars.template.
You can then remove po/Makevars.template.
 
Please run 'automake m4/Makefile' to create m4/Makefile.in
 
Please run 'aclocal -I m4' to regenerate the aclocal.m4 file.
You need aclocal from GNU automake 1.5 (or newer) to do this.
Then run 'autoconf' to regenerate the configure file.
 
Please remove intl/Makefile from the AC_OUTPUT or AC_CONFIG_FILES invocation
in the configure.in file.
 
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.
 
You might also want to copy the convenience header file gettext.h
from the /usr/share/gettext directory into your package.
It is a wrapper around <libintl.h> that implements the configure --disable-nls
option.

I guess the first thing I'll need to do is figure out the what and Y4's of: 

AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external])
