Talk the the v4l people first. That needs to be ported before zoneminder can even think of working.

Posted: **Thu May 31, 2007 8:45 pm**

but there is port for FreeBSD, so maybe it can be adapted for OpenBSD and OSX

i try to use freebsd port but it seems hard and an awful hack.

as for v4l, i will ask but not sure there will be much
freebsd is in the todo:
http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.ph ... main_tasks

an alternative could be bktr(4) which is used on freebsd
and also available on openbsd
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi? ... ormat=html

another discussion about v4l and *bsd on ffmpeg-devel@
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffm ... 01382.html

so it seems support out of linux is not possible or a long way ...

Please elaborate.

It's not much of a hack, and there's nothing particularly hard about it relative to how it works under Linux. ZoneMinder simply has a lot of dependencies on other tools, like apache, mysql, php, perl modules of all sorts. It's not any more complicated in FreeBSD than in Linux since all those other programs/modules must exist either way.

Obviously, one must be aware of how apache, mysql, php, etc. work. We're not talking about a simple one-executable software here, after all.

i don't have anything against your work. it helps me a lot. problem is not about apache & co but about video driver v4l & bktr.

OpenBSD is not very friendly about webcam driver and i don't know it enough to go past the needed driver.
From what i see, i get the impression, these drivers are mostly needed for local webcam but are requirements.
if that's true, why not a configure/compile option to get zoneminder running only for network webcam ... porting would be easier as kernel part is notably less portable.

I agree about the camera drivers. If quadra's previous work on bktr driver interface didn't exist, I would have gone that way as I had no plans to use local camera functionality anyway. But since it was there, I didn't want to just throw it away.

I can't imagine it would be that hard to just get rid of local camera support for a particular build, though.

openbsd guys add a new driver uvideo to manage local usb camera
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi? ... ormat=html

could it help to support openbsd ?

else i give a try to a build with 1.23.3 but i can't pass configure (openbsd 4.2/i386).
is there a way to build a minimal setup to test only a null camera, or only network camera
i encounter stops on libdl.a, perl modules dependencies (mandatory ???)

comments ?

Did you try the new 1.23.3 FreeBSD port?

Posted: **Mon Jul 28, 2008 5:21 pm**

not for now, i will check it when i have time for patches and rules as port system as changed a lot between bsd

but from previous discussions, it seems video subsystem was a lot differents also between bsd ...

from the man page of bktr of OpenBSD, i can see the meteor
API is supported.
The same holds for FreeBSD, and a lot of the local camera code (bktr) uses
the meteor ioctls.
Nothing special, apart from making things work

now that i think about it again, OpenBSD is about "security" right?
So i guess, zoneminder will have a natural tendency to compile and work in OpenBSD!

Posted: **Mon Jul 28, 2008 9:45 pm**

i try it before 4.3-current/4.4 and uvideo and there was nothing to do.

problems were zoneminder wants to support local camera when there were none possible and many mandatory packages, some of which are not in ports for now.
yes, the security aspect makes it a good alliance.
but some multimedia part like video camera are are still in infancy on openbsd ....

Zoneminder local camera bktr code from FreeBSD should be easily ported.

and many mandatory packages, some of which are not in ports for now.

In which case you are asking in the wrong place.
The OpenBSD camp is the one responsible to do the porting for all those prerequisites,
before somebody starts with Zoneminder on OpenBSD.

BTW, which of these required ports are missing from OpenBSD ports tree?

here an error log for the building of my current port.
for now, i only take videodev.h from freebsd port

your next problem is libexecinfo.
try copying it (/usr/local/include/execinfo.h) from FreeBSD.
