Help to Install ZoneMinder 1.25.x - Ubuntu 12.10

[fabietto]

Hi, i'm new in ubuntu and in ZoneMinder.
Is there anyone who can help me with the installation code?
I want install it from source because I have to change some code files that cause errors in the log with my foscam.I have done the following:

Upgrade the package repository:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Install all required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential ffmpeg libmysqlclient-dev libjpeg-dev libssl-dev libdate-manip-perl wget liblwp-useragent-determined-perl libavformat-dev libphp-serialization-perl libswscale-dev joe

Get Zoneminder:
wget http://www.zoneminder.com/downloads/Zon ... 5.0.tar.gz

Extract Zoneminder and change permission:
sudo tar xvfz ZoneMinder-1.25.0.tar.gz -C /usr/local/
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/ZoneMinder-1.25.0

Configure Zoneminder:
cd /usr/local/ZoneMinder-1.25.0
./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/zm --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ --with-webuser=www-data --with-webgroup=www-data ZM_DB_USER=zm ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_PASS=yourpassword ZM_SSL_LIB=openssl

now when i do MAKE ...
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Help me. Thanks and excuse my horrible english.

I'm lost!

First, DON'T PANIC!

Ok, seriously though, it's easier than you think. How about starting here: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_easy_way

The instructions are actually the same regardless of ubuntu 32/64bit or 12.10 or 12.04.1. I would recommend 12.04.1 just since it's LTS, but 12.10 is fine.

[fabietto]

Ok. First of all, thank you.
Now, download ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and install it.
I will follow your recommendations and will post the results in a day.

I lost a few days ... but nothing! I am unable to install zoneminder 1.25 source on ubuntu 12.04/12.10. I found in forum version livecd iso... but ubuntu 11.10. Someone could create a livecd with ubuntu latest version? Helppppp....

[chriswiggins]

The problem is due to the libav/ffmpeg split and all the deprecated functions that resulted from this. Please see the HowTo I wrote to help you with this:

Let me know how you get on. I haven't been very explanatory in the tutorial but following the steps will make sure it works.

Cheers
Chris
