As advised by mail. This and similar compilation problems with recent ffmpeg releases appears to be fixed by adding

Code: Select all

CPPFLAGS="-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS"

to the ZM configure line. I don't know if this is the 'official' way of getting around it though.

I only found this topic after I figured out the fix and searched for "D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS" on the forum. Just before I was going to post the fix to see if I wasn't duplicated work. The compilation error more commonly seen with the latest versions of ffmpeg is the following.


if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -fno-inline -I/usr/include -frepo -g -O2 -MT zmc.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/zmc.Tpo" -c -o zmc.o zmc.cpp; \
then mv -f ".deps/zmc.Tpo" ".deps/zmc.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/zmc.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

Adding the flag -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS ... I used CXXFLAGS myself... same difference... as stated fixes the issue. Hopefully others will find this thread now and find it helpful.

pls where to pou CPPFLAGS="-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS"?

The tip from the siteadmin worked for me under

Ubuntu server 10.04.1 LTS 32bit and
FFmpeg from svn on 22nd sep ,2010
ZM from svn on 22nd sep, 2010

all i did to fix the problem after i have faced the problems with compiling zm giving erros such...

zm_ffmpeg.h:33:2: error: #error "No location for avutils.h found"
zm_ffmpeg.h:40:2: error: #error "No location for avcodec.h found"
zm_ffmpeg.h:47:2: error: #error "No location for avformat.h found"
zm_ffmpeg.h:55:2: error: #error "No location for swscale.h found"

...was to adapt my configuration file before compiling zm from source;

my new config line that worked was:


./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/zm --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin \
ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zmuser \
ZM_DB_PASS=zmpass --enable-debug=yes \
--with-webgroup=www-data --with-webuser=www-data \
--enable-mmap CPPFLAGS="-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS"

and after that...

autoconf
automake
make
... create zm db, grant, etc (*)
make install

and worked like a charm !

(*) details of install based on my contribution to the wiki under

http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... ver_32-bit


Tks again mr. phil !
