ZoneMinder Forums

Kind time of day.

Prompt me the full list of the software which is necessary for work with ZoneMinder.

I so have understood to me will be necessary MySQL developer edition, libjpeg.a, ffmpeg, Cambozola. Something else is necessary?

Hi,

This isn't complete but it's a start.

Required
1. 'c' compiler
2. 'c++' compiler
5. perl 5.x.x
3. MySQL development installation
4. libjpeg.a
5. DBI perl module
6. DBD::mysql perl module
7. Net::FTP perl module
8. MIME::Entity perl module

Optional
1. Web server, e.g. apache, if you want to use the web interface
2. ffmpeg, if you want to generate videos (recommended)
3. mpeg_encode if you want to generate videos
4. Cambozola, to view jpeg streams on IE (recommended)
5. X10::ActiveHome perl module, if you want to use X10 interface
6. Archive::Zip and/or Archive::Tar perl modules, if you want to upload events.

I think those are the main things at the moment.

Phil,

For Debian users, the packages I installed (and their dependencies as calculated by aptitude) were:

MySQL and headers (mysql-server, libmysqlclient-dev)
apache (apache-perl (note: I couldn’t get php to work with apache2))
PHP (php4, php4-mysql)
ffmpeg (ffmpeg)
libjpeg.a (libjpeg62-dev)
c++ compiler (g++-compiler - note in aptitude search for g\+\+\-compiler)
PHP support for MySQL (php4-mysql)
xawtv (xawtv)

HTH, Peter

For Debian, I also need:

libmime-perl
libwww-perl
libarchive-tar-perl
libdate-manip-perl
libarchive-zip-perl
