I have installed Zm 1.26.3 0n Ubuntu Server 12.04.03 32 bit without ffmpeg.

I'm going to do a clean reinstall in a few days with ffmpeg + H264 support.

To date the big problem was creating ffmpeg with H264, that took nearly 30 attempts to get the configure and paths right, but I now have it installed.

I am currently writing up my build steps. For 1.26.3 install I started with info from two sources:

Thanks, codabiz.

Did you manage to install it with ffmpeg + h.264? Do you have a step by step guide for doing this?

Thanks.

If you geht it running with ffmpeg, i also would like to read your builing steps. I tried the guide Form ffmpeg, but i made the mistake Tod do all AS root... but wie need Tod read carefully what is with user and with sudo . Otherwise you will have ffmpeg in /root/... not in /bin/...

Maybe you can write it in the wiki, because there is everything outdated.

Thanks
