ZoneMinder Forums

Is there anyone who has sucessfully installed ZM on FreeBSD. I have several systems I can test on if some one can give me a starting point.

Currently just down loading the application fails.

Output of configure is below.

configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-ffmpeg option.
This tells configure where to find the ffmpeg root directory within which are the libavcodec
and libavformat files that can be used to build true MPEG streaming into ZoneMinder. Ensure that
your copy of ffmpeg has installed libraries as well as binaries (use 'make installlib'). If you
are using a local install of ffmpeg you may have to remove or rename a previous real installation
as the headers and libraries from that will probably be picked up before your local copy.
e.g. --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-lame option.
This tells configure where to find the Lame library which can be used by the ffmpeg libraries
to generate IE compatible MPEG audio streams. This option is only necessary if you have built
the ffmpeg package itself with the --enable-mp3lame option and if the normal link cannot
find the library. Using mp3lame is not necessary or of any benefit to ZoneMinder per se.
e.g. --with-lame=/use/local/lib

configure: error: zm requires libjpeg.a


file libjpeg.a does exist in /usr/local/lib

Any help is REALLY apreciated.

Also, as you can see I do have a c++ compiler installed.

I'm in the same boat as you.

You need the development libraries for libjpeg. In RH packages it would be libjpeg-devel but I'm not sure what it would be for BSD.
