Yes, my cards and cameras worked with zoneminder under gentoo. I've tested it few months ago. Now, I've decided to install it under gentoo because I'm more experienced with this distro, so my question is not actual. Maybe, when I'll have some free time, I will try with FreeBSD again. Nevertheless, ...

did you try with both 'nph-zms' and zms in options->paths?
Does your cam(s)/card(s) work with xawtv (you must stop zm to test that)?
Does your cam(s)/card(s) work at all with zm?

please also, post your monitor definition in zm.

That would be ideal, but I dont know to what extent a generic -enable-bsd switch would magically solve all *BSD issues, taking into account that even between FreeBSD 6.3 and 7.0 there are compilation discrepancies, therefore a modified port's Makefile is needed for 6.x (more info on that http://www....

We are living in a linux world!, therefore the best we can do is build tools that suit our communities and help each other in the various BSD camps, while keeping in touch with the linux guys who lead most of the application development. P.S. I never got that close to an OpenBSD system, until with y...

The differences in the two systems is that in 6.3 (most probably not so correctly) struct timeval resolves to struct timeval { long tv_sec; suseconds_t tv_usec; }; while in 7.0 struct timeval { time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */ suseconds_t tv_usec; /* and microseconds */ }; time_t is defined as int in bo...

ok. good. Do you have a bktr capture card? i will send on the forum the port and patches after a bit of polishing. It would be great if zoneminder devs could include part/all of them in default distribution. That's the job of the OpenBSD port maintainer ... YOU! Zoneminder releases only one distribu...

In the case of 6.3 the following changes must be made: Whenever the compiler complaints about smth like: zm_monitor.cpp:2218: error: invalid conversion from `const long int*' to `const time_t*' zm_monitor.cpp:2218: error: initializing argument 1 of `tm* localtime(const time_t*)' then the following c...

If you downgrade ffmpeg then i guess you have no problem compiling?

Thats the version of ffmpeg in my 7.0 as well.
So you have it working in 6.3?

P.S.
Hehe, it seems FreeBSD ports are getting updated too fast, for the rest of the world
to follow

for libexecinfo, look at the FreeBSD port.
Cant help much here.

For the MAXINT error, just find the max int in your system or find how it is named
and where it is defined, and stick it in.
e.g. in my i386 system it is 0x7fffffff

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

problems were zoneminder wants to support local camera when there were none possible 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 ...

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 :D now that i think about it again, OpenBSD is about "security" right? S...

Did you try the new 1.23.3 FreeBSD port?

Ok, we must leave jails out for the moment, and be sure that we have a full working
zoneminder port.
