Hii!!

I'm having problem with ffmpeg. I have it installed at /usr/include/ffmpeg.
(The directories libavformat, libavutil, and so on, are at /usr/include/ffmpeg/include).
I'm doing:

./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --with-ffmpeg=/usr/include/ffmpeg ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zmuser ZM_DB_PASS=zmpass --enable-debug=yes

I'm getting:

...

The makefile is generated. When I do "make", I get:

...

...

Why is it occuring? The ZoneMinder is search for the files in the wrong directory?
Am I doing something wrong?

>> Am I doing something wrong?

Yup, you are. You've got your include directories all messed up. By default (if I'm not mistaken) ffmpeg will install it's header files into separate directories just where from the look of the output of your configure run, the configure script is looking for them.

Solution? Reinstall ffmpeg and allow it to put the headers in their default location, _or_ manually put the header files where (create the directories) the configure script expects to find them.

Secondly, until you get a clean configure run there is no point in trying to run make. Even if you do get a successful build it'll likely be broken anyway.

The ZoneMinder was searching for the files in a directory that they weren't. So I created links and it find them.

Thanks nuck!!

Hi, could you explain me what do you exactly did?

It seems that zoneminder can't find that files as you wrote up here.

my question is, where is zoneminder searching for this files? in which folder?

thanks in advance.

J.

Hi Johnny,

I don't remember clearly how I did it, but I will try to help you.

Firstly, the ZoneMinder shows where it is searching the files during the beginning of the compilation, if I'm not wrong, in the first line:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/ffmpeg/include -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -fno-inline -frepo -g -O2 -MT zmc.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/zmc.Tpo -c -o zmc.o zmc.cpp

About the link, I used the command ln. I created the folder include in the folder ffmpeg, and, after that, I created the links in this way:

ln -s /usr/include/ffmpeg/libavcodec /usr/include/ffmpeg/include

You have to create links to all folders that are in the folder ffmpeg (libavcodec, libavdevice, ....)

Try to do it and tell me if it works.

I did the ln -s and i got the same, see you:

horrible BUUGG !! its the second day i am around it.

Thanks for you reply.

J.

But Johnny, did you stop the compilation because this no's? This is not an error. When you do make, does the compilation stop anytime?

Moreover, the ZoneMinder found the library files. These no's is because it searchs in two different places, and, in your case, it found it in one, but not in the other.

i got this errors with my MAKE:

make[2]: *** [zmc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/share/zoneminder/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/share/zoneminder'
make: *** [all] Error 2


thank you one more time.

J.

No, with this I can't get what happened.
Show me more lines.

sorry

Jonny,

the "real" error is:
and, unfortunately, I can't help you. I've never seen this error and I don't know so much about ffmpeg.
Verify if your ffmpeg is updated or if there is some version indicated for the ZoneMinder you are installing.

here i did the MAKE with the original src/zm_rtsp.cpp (avformat_alloc_conterxt() )the post before was with :av_alloc_format_context()

*******************************************
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=49597

- mFormatContext = avformat_alloc_context();
+ mFormatContext = av_alloc_format_context();

thanks.

J.

Your change made the things better because now there are no warnings, however, the error is the same.

error : av_free_packet not found !


add in end file src/zm_ffmpeg_camera.cpp to resolve problem.



void av_free_packet(AVPacket *pkt)
{
if (pkt) {
if (pkt->destruct) pkt->destruct(pkt);
pkt->data = NULL; pkt->size = 0;
}
}
[/u]

I can't find out where src/zm_ffmpeg_camera.cpp is


Thank you very much.
