Re: ./configure zoneminder and problems

I'm on PCLinuxOS.
Had the same compile errors, " ...not declared...", with 1.25.0 pre-release.
Added this to zm_user.cpp:

#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <ctype.h>

Compiled ok after that.

Re: Watch window not displaying events

I have had this same problem since using the svn. It seems that the initial database creation script is setting an empty string for several values. Any boolean value with a default of "yes" is being assigned 1, any default of "no" is being left empty. This results in syntax error...

Yes this is to fix that problem. If you can't use the patch program, it's easy to make the changes manually. The patch is only 3 lines. The lines with the"@" are the approximate line numbers in zm_image.cpp. Just type in the lines that are preceded with a "+" and delete the line ...

Your first post shows you in the "scripts" directory. Shouldn't you be up a level to run Make?
