1.19.0 Compile problem on Fedora

[mturcotte]

I had 1.17 running on my system and decided to upgrade to 1.19.

I'm running a fully updated (as of 2004/03/21) Fedora Core1 box:

When I try to compile 1.19 I get the following error:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include -Iyes/libavcodec -Iyes/libavformat -g -O2 -c -o zm_event.o `test -f 'zm_event.cpp' || echo './'`zm_event.cpp

Any help appreciated.

What was your configure command, the yes/libavformat looks a bit odd.

Phil,

[mturcotte]

I used the following:

./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --with-ffmpeg --with-lame --with-webuser=apache --with-webgroup=apache

Is there anything wrong with it?

Thanks,

Martin

I also tried it without the --with-ffmpeg --with-lame and go the same error.

Here's the output from the configure, in case you want to see it:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-ffmpeg option.
This tells configure where to find the ffmpeg build directory within which are the libavcodec
and libavformat files that can be used to build true MPEG streaming into ZoneMinder. A normal
install of ffmpeg only installs the applications and not the libraries or headers necessary
to link to so this will probably be a local or temporary directory.
e.g. --with-ffmpeg=/home/ffmpeg-0.4.18
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-lame option.
This tells configure where to find the Lame library which can be used by the ffmpeg libraries
to generate IE compatible MPEG audio streams. This option is only necessary if you have built
the ffmpeg package itself with the --enable-mp3lame option and if the normal link cannot
find the library. Using mp3lame is not necessary or of any benefit to ZoneMinder per se.

Hi Martin,

The --with-ffmpeg and --with-lame options both should point to directories so --with-ffmpeg=<ffmpeg build dir> etc. Try it first without --with-lame which you might not even need.

Phil,

Ok

As I did not know where to point --with-ffmpeg, I removed RPMs for ffmpeg and ffmpeg-devel and downloaded the ffmpeg-0.4.8 package with I have compiled and installed in ./usr/local/ffmpeg-0.4.8.

Then I set the --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local/ffmpeg-0.4.8 and the make command ran through without the error.

Thanks for your help!
