ZoneMinder Forums

I am running Ubuntu Maverick and had used apt-get to install zoneminder. Could not get it to pick up on my Brooktree 4 input card, although vlc and awtv worked with it fine. I decided to remove and purge zoneminder and install 1.25 from source. Configure went fine, but when running "make", I get the following errors that I am not sure what to do about:

sudo make

Manually introduce the macro PATH_MAX with a template of 4096.
(or)
include the file /usr/linux/limits.h in the zm_local_camera.h

this would help the make install void of errors.

Doesn't know whether this is a correct procedure.
Thanks.

Thanks.

Alternate way is to include linux/limits.h under zm_local_camera.cpp

But some ZONEMINDER ADMINS please approve this inclusion.

This worked for me, thank you.

After make, I did make install but I got:

$ sudo service zoneminder start
Starting ZoneMinder: /etc/init.d/zoneminder: 84: /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl: not found
failure

Have you cleared the above issue?

Here is what I did: I suppose I have to insert the string: But... where?
Can you, please, help me with detailed instructions?

Thank you!

Here is what I did:

Code: Select all

vim src/zm_local_camera.cpp

I suppose I have to insert the string:

Code: Select all

#include <linux/limits.h>

But... where?
Can you, please, help me with detailed instructions?

Thank you!

Note that there is a miss in the filename extension.
Include the line in the top(at header file inclusion section).
