installation process failing on Fedora 20

I'm installing 1.26.5 on Fedora 20. When I run the make command errors appear:

Code: Select all

I get that I may need to edit src/zm_ffmpeg.h per:
http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... mpeg_again
But I'm not clear what I need to put there. In case it helps here's a directory listing:

Code: Select all

$ ls /usr/include/ffmpeg
libavcodec   libavfilter  libavresample  libpostproc    libswscale
libavdevice  libavformat  libavutil      libswresample

Many thanks for any ideas!

When building zoneminder fails with any AVxxxxxxx error, that means one of the following:

• You are using a version of ffmpeg that zoneminder does not recognize
• Your ffmpeg headers are missing a.k.a. ffmpeg-devel package
• Your ffmpeg headers are in a location that ffmpeg cannot find

What repo did you get ffmpeg from?

Oh, and if you want to skip compiling altogether then just use these rpms:

Thank you; the RPM worked wonderfully. The thing is thrashing a bit now but I may not have the DB optimized--and I used mysql rather than mariadb, which might not have been a good idea.
