Since the packages built for openSUSE are currently broken (They are configured for external MySQL authentication instead of local authentication and don't provide a means to configure remote authentication),

Am trying to install from source.
Have downloaded the 1.27 tarball and extracted.

Following the documentation, am supposed to run ./configure but no such file exists, only configure.ac which is what is used to create configure.

Advice?

Thx.

Run bootstrap.sh first, then ./confgiure.
Or you could use cmake instead of autotools

Zoneminder 1.26.4 introduced cmake as the build tool and there is a note in the INSTALL file that this will become the default so I guess that's why 1.27 doesn't have a configure script. The cmake route works fine.

As far as a package for OpenSuse is concerned, there is work going on to produce working ones.
