ZoneMinder Forums

Greetings,

I've somehow managed to get ZoneMinder (Very cool program, Phil!) v1.19.4 running on Fedora Core 2 (v2.6.8-1.521 kernel). This was a small miracle, considering what a newbie I am to Linux/MySQL/Apache/ZoneMinder, etc.

I did not include mpeg support initially, but was able to stream JPEGs with Cambozola. Now I'm trying to get streaming mpegs to work. I've installed FFmpeg (cvs-2004-07-12). But when I try to Make (gcc v3.3.3) ZoneMinder with mpeg support, I get the following errors. Not being a C++ guru, I'm at a loss what to try next.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Are you using FFmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1? trye to use FFmpeg version 0.4.8 in stead. I had similar problems with 0.4.9-pre1.

Regards Kim.

Did not se that you wrote that you used the CVS version....

Trye to dl the older source v.

Don't forget also that you may have to rerun 'configure' in ZM depending on when you installed ffmpeg relative to the last ZM build.

Also, you need to do a 'make install-libs' (I think) as well as just a 'make install' in ffmpeg otherwise the libraries don't get installed and ZM can't link.

Phil,

I think that can be done in the ./configure --options to if im not mistaken.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! I don't have FFmpeg working yet, but I'm still hopeful.

In the meantime I have run into a related issue. Even when I explicitly tell Configure that I do NOT want FFmpeg support (--without-ffmpeg), I still get the same mpeg-related error messages (see below) during Make.

Why does it still try to include FFmpeg support when I have told it not to? I'm probably overlooking something simple. Thanks!

I guess removing the ffmpeg package would do the trick as the --without-ffmpeg doesn't do a thing ?

Have you gotten any further on getting it compiled? I'm getting exactly the same error as you.. Will be trying out an 'older' version later today, if it succeeds i'll post it here.

I received the exact error when trying to install on zm on Gentoo using ffmpeg-0.4.9_pre1. However, regressing to ffmpeg-0.4.8.20040322-r1 solved the problem.

I believe that ffmpeg has had major updates recently, which appear to have broken zm. At least that is what I get from the preceding error, and rummaging through the source.

Also, try running `make clean` before running `make`, this may clear up your compile problems.

I did post a reply to this a week or so ago, or so I thought. I can't see it here though so I'll try again.

The --with--ffmpeg flag is used to inform configure of the whereabouts of ffmpeg in case it's not in the regular places. The configure script will unconditionally check however for the existence of the library and headers and if it finds them will include ffmpeg in the build.

It does appear that the most recent ffmpeg release has changed the api somewhat. I'll try and figure out what it's done and see if I can make it work under both versions.

Phil,

Great, Phil.
Because I'm having a lot of problems compiling ffmpeg 0.4.8 on EPIA PD & Suse 9.1 (minimum install). It won't compile unless I turn off optimization. Then it also needs one of X11 includes, that's why I needed to add XFree86-devel. 0.4.9-pre1 however did compile without a problem on this same machine (but ZM won't).

Regards, D.

Hi,

I've fixed this in .15 (out over the weekend if I get chance) and it should detect which version of ffmpeg you have and compile with either.

Phil,
