Not surprisingly, make have truble compiling that section:

before running ./configure I've installed via Synaptic:
libavutil-dev 4:0.7.3 (latest)
libavcodec-dev 4:0.7.3 (latest)
libavformat-dev 4:0.7.3

Anyone run into this problem ?

Add CPPFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS" to your ./configure

Thank you, Ytzhak
You advice was right to the point, after implementing it I get no more relevant warnings when I run ./configure.

However, it still throws errors (in a later stage) during make. It is related to ffmpeg (which I've instaled precompiled from ubuntu repositories (latest version)).
I guess I have to look into it, check the forums to see what is the compatible version and maybe get it from videolan and compile it. Oh well...
Thank you again for quickly helping me get over the first error.

I seem to be stuck here now, also

Cheers,
Mattt.

Need to install libswscale-dev or the equivalent package for your distro.

mastertheknife

Nope - got that already...

Cheers,
Mattt.

I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, btw... Trying to build current SVN as well as most recent stable tarball. Have tried both versions with both current GIT ffmpeg and also Ubuntu repo version. Every combination yields the same results.

Cheers,
Mattt.

@mastertheknife

In my case installing libswscale-dev solved the problem and make ran succesfully, thank you.

I still have some problems during make install

make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/george/Downloads/ZoneMinder-1.25.0/web'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

But those must have something to do with the way I had initially apache setup (I was running precompilled version of zoneminder 1.24-4 from ubuntu depot (which also pulled and installed apache2 as a prerequisite before the compilation of 1.25.0 version)
I will create the apache:apache user tough I have to read if it needs a shell to function properly for zoneminder (probably not).

Sadly, I'm still unable to build. I forgot to mention that I'm running 64 bit. Does that make any difference?

Cheers,
Mattt.

Hi George,

Please use www-data for web user and group instead of apache for your distro.
--with-webuser=www-data --with-webgroup=www-data

I have the same problem...

I followed these instructions for installing up-to-date ffmpeg and x264 from source,

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095

Downloaded ZoneMinder version 1.25.0 and configured with:
and got exactly the same problem:
libswscale-dev is apparently the latest version!

Using ubuntu 10.04

Any help appreciated
