My problems compiling with ffmpeg support on FC10

[Blazer]

I can see that configure is not finding the ffmpeg libs:

This is the configure option I am currently using:

Code: Select all

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Try

Code: Select all

./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/html --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin 

and see where that gets you. People insist on providing options to configure that are redundant (or just plain wrong).. Give configure a chance to figure things out on it's own and go from there.

[zoneminder]

Unless ffmpeg is somewhere other than in the usual places under /usr/ or /usr/local then don't bother with the with-ffmpeg option as it should find it.

[mklein]

Doesn't this contradict another manual reference which says to use "/usr/bin" for ffmpeg? (or whatever dir parent is).

I think I used "/usr/local" at first (for handbuilt ffmpeg) and later when I used "/usr/local/bin" the cfg script did seem to pick up more ffmpeg in output.

The webdir options have nothing to do with finding the ffmpeg libraries? I gave it a whirl anyway, still same errors.

Okay now tried leaving out --with-ffmpeg option, still same errors. At this point Im suspecting it is some oddity with the version of ffmpeg that I am using, although it worked fine with 1.23.x

[mklein]

Have you rebuilt ffmpeg? What version of zm/ffmpeg are you using?

Trying to compile zm against pre-buit ffmpeg will fail usually I think.

You will have to grab ffmpeg, make edit to single line in rtsp cpp file, rebuild, then build zm.

These steps worked for me on ubuntu 8.10.

Doesn't this contradict another manual reference which says to use "/usr/bin" for ffmpeg? (or whatever dir parent is).

I think I used "/usr/local" at first (for handbuilt ffmpeg) and later when I used "/usr/local/bin" the cfg script did seem to pick up more ffmpeg in output.

There are two separate things here. Configure locates the ffmpeg libraries and headers for building. There is also an option to locate the ffmpeg binary which is used to generate videos. It is likely that the second could be derived from the first I guess.

Exactly...in my case it is locating the ffmpeg libs and headers that is failing.

[zoneminder]

Why are you using these options?

--with-extralibs="-lmp3lame -L/usr/lib/mysql"

Neither should be necessary. If you look in config.log you might find that the errors to do with the ffmpeg headers are actually failures related to this.

[mklein]

For building zm I apparently used the following (configure.mdk...my custom config):

./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/zm --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin ZM_DB_PASS=<dontyouwish> --with-libarch --with-webuser=www-data --with-webgroup=www-data --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local/bin
--enable-debug=yes ZM_SSL_LIB=openssl

The with-libarch params is cause I'm on 64-bit...not sure if necessary.

I used the following to build ffmpeg:

mklein@father:/usr/local/src/zm$ cat ../ffmpeg/configure.mdk
#!/bin/bash
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-swscale --enable-shared --enable-pthreads

I may have screwed up -with-ffmpeg param in zm build....but to my recollection configure found ffmpeg in ALL cases during config.

At least I get a workable build.

--with-extralibs="-lmp3lame -L/usr/lib/mysql"

If I do not use that extralibs option, I get this error:

Code: Select all

checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: zm requires libmysqlclient.a

So thats why Im using those options. I will take a closer look at the config.log to see if it reveals anything

[mklein]

On my box libmysqlclient.a is in /usr/lib and NOT /usr/lib/mysql.

Code: Select all
