Hi, All!

I'm trying to build ZoneMinder on ALT Linux Sisyphus system and got the following errors. May be someone can tell, how this can be fixed?

What prints "grep compiler src/.deps/*"?

A file /usr/include/linux/compiler.h exists?

Try to insert string between into zm_camera.h.

Thanx! I've compiled ZM successfully with this patch. May be it must be placed to contrib and, finally, to distribution?

To zoneminder: I am not confident, that this correct solution on all distributives of Linux. I think it is necessary to check presence of a file /usr/include/linux/compiler.h in a script "configure".
