Trouble Compling ZoneMinder 1.25.X from Source/Ubuntu 12.04

[metallica1973]

I orginally installed Zoneminder 1.25.X on Ubuntu 12.04 using there repositories and ran into a roadblock using the Bluecherry BC-08240A - 8 port video, 8 port audio realtime hardware compression card. The card requires the solo6010-dkm driver which uses ('extended' layouts)

I am able to see the video inputs(8,9 respectively) and the capture palette(UYVY [UYUV 4:2:2 Packed, UYVY]) on the card

I decided to recompile my version of Zoneminder with the adjustment made in the post above. I made most of the changes and have wrestled around with my compile errors and am stuck here:

I made most of the changes to the depriecated functions to what was replaced and now I get the above error messages in reference to:

What do I need to do to get this to successfully compile? Should I downgrade "FFMPEG" to an older version that used the previous funtions that I had changed? What version of FFMPEG does Zoneminder 1.25.X use?

try using this to compile,

Code: Select all

./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/zm --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin \

thanks,

makes no difference.

If you get errorr while compiling/making ZM, then try this:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/src/zm (put here your zm source path)
wget http://ab-log.ru/files/File/zm-patch.zip
unzip zm-patch.zip
patch -p1 < zm-patch.diff

Post results, hope it helps,

Many Thanks for the reply. I will give this a shot and give you some feedback.

[chriswiggins]

There is actually a patch that someone has submitted to launchpad that seems to fix the issue. I used it the other day to compile ZoneMinder 1.25.X for the first time ever on Ubuntu!

I will write a how-to and get back to you soon. Probably within the next week

[chriswiggins]

OK I have already done it

Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
