How to include libvlc in Building ZM 1.27.1 from Source

Post by aginzu »

I built ZM 1.27.1 from source. I have the src tree and the vlc libraries installed on my system and the build works with ffmpeg but produces log messages that say I need to have the vlc library installed when I try to use Libvlc instead of Ffmpeg as my monitor source type. What configuration parameters need to be set so that the build will include the VLC libraries?

I'm doing the build/install on 32-bit Unbuntu 12.04.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I got it working by building the .deb package from https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder and installing that via dpkg rather than just running make install. The package is now working with Libvlc.
