##########################
P.S. i have compiled ffmpeg with :
##########################

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaad --enable-libfaac --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-x11grab --enable-postproc --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-swscale --enable-avfilter --enable-xvmc --enable-zlib --enable-bzlib

I have understood that the problem was in libxvid so i have tried to download source rpms for xvidcore compile and install and then try to reconfigure zoneminer but the error persists.
So i have recompiled ffmpeg without libxvid support and now zonominder configure gives no more the error..

Maybe i have found a ffmpeg bug?? or maybe is a zoneminder bug??

The functionality of zoneminder is limited because the lack of xvid support in ffmpeg??

[sercik]

Argh!!!!
now i have tons of errors in making zoneminder erros like:

usr/lib/libavcodec.a(libfaac.o)(.text+0x2e): In function `Faac_encode_init':
libavcodec/libfaac.c:46: undefined reference to `faacEncOpen'

/usr/lib/libavcodec.a(libmp3lame.o)(.text+0xe9):libavcodec/libmp3lame.c:71: undefined reference to `lame_get_framesize'


so i need to compile ffmpeg without any encoder support??

but to this point i think that i heve found a zoneminder bug!!!!

[cordel]

No actually what you have found is that ffmpeg changes their API like we change our shorts. ffmpeg is a very heavily/actively developed project, its API changes almost every other week. So you must change the API in ZM to match the ffmpeg version you are using or get the version in SVN at the time of ZM release.

[sercik]

Oh! i'm not so good in programming
API!! what is that?

Ok, could you explain me how to get the correct version of ffmpeg that
makes zoneminder compile correctly??

[tdukes]

You may also need to tell it where ffmpeg is installed in your configure script:

./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin ZM_SSL_LIB=openssl --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local

ffmpeg is found by zoneminder, but zoneminder is not able to use correctly the development file of ffmpeg. zoneminder gives errors whrn try to use libavcodec.a and libavformat.a

[tdukes]

Another thing I ran into was I had another ffmpeg installed besides the SVN copy. When I removed it and added the ffmpeg path to the config script it compiled.

If you are on an rpm based linux, try rpm -q ffmpeg, if not you could try, 'locate ffmpeg' or 'which ffmpeg'.
