Building under slackware

[elektryk]

I was trying to build ZoneMinder on my machine. It was originally slackware probably 12.0, but some o libraries were updated since instalation time. For example ffmpeg tool and librariers as quite new version compiled from sources.
During compilation I have following errors:

Code: Select all

Any idea what is wrong with my platform?

I'm not much of a programmer, but from the looks of all those errors, it sounds as though either an environment variable path hasn't been set properly or a function library is missing somewhere. In googling, I found a thread with a lot of similar errors that was due to a stripped version of libavcodec and libavformat. This was on Ubuntu 9, however, but basically a stripped down version of those packages had been installed (by accident due to incorrect inclusion in the repository, apparently) and the necessary variables were not being supplied.

Not sure if that helps you any, but hopefully it rings a bell somewhere.
