ZoneMinder Forums

Hi there.
I have been using ZoneMinder for some time now and I really want to get the ffmpeg part working.
After reading all the forum posts here is what i have done so far:

Installed ffmpeg from source:

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-swscaler --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared
make
make install

that works and I end up with the binaries under /usr/local/bin and the libraries under /usr/local/lib

Then I go into my ZM source folder:
cd /usr/local/src/ZoneMinder-1.23.1
./configure --with-webdir=/var/www --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin --with-webuser=www-data --with-webgroup=www-data --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local/lib

And I get all OK. But when I run make install or make && make install I get the following errors:

Making install in src

I don't know how to take care of the header problem. From what I have read I need to run make installlib in the ffmpeg source directory, but that doesn't work.
I get
make: *** No rule to make target `installlib'. Stop.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I think you probably want rather than however you may will find you don't need it use --with-ffmpeg at all. You should see configure look for avformat.h or other ffmpeg headers etc so check whether it has found them or not if you are not sure.

Go see if there is a ffmpeg directory... I found that the newest version had an issue when it went to look for two header files from ffmpeg. See if the files are in another directory under /usr/local/include other then ffmepg. Mine were split up for each lib/app.

Then just change edit the zm file that is looking for it.

I can not get into my machine remotely right now or I would tell you exactly what I did.
