Hello, this is my method to compile Latest SVN ZoneMinder V1.25.0 on Linux Gentoo 64 :
Updated 15 AOUT 2012.

If you don't have SVN tool install this
# emerge SVN-Mirror

For download the latest svn source code of ZM:

Code: Select all

# rm -R /usr/share/zoneminder
# svn co http://svn.zoneminder.com/svn/zm/trunk /usr/share/zoneminder

ZM need some software must be instelled before compilling

Code: Select all

# emerge www-servers/apache
# emerge dev-db/mysql
# emerge dev-lang/php
# emerge dev-lang/perl

# emerge app-admin/sudo
# emerge media-video/ffmpeg
# emerge dev-libs/libpcre
# emerge virtual/jpeg
# emerge net-libs/gnutls
# emerge virtual/perl-Archive-Tar
# emerge dev-perl/Archive-Zip
# emerge dev-perl/DateManip
# emerge dev-perl/DBD-mysql
# emerge dev-perl/DBI
# emerge dev-perl/Device-SerialPort
# emerge dev-perl/libwww-perl
# emerge dev-perl/MIME-Lite
# emerge dev-perl/MIME-tools
# emerge dev-perl/PHP-Serialization
# emerge virtual/perl-Getopt-Long
# emerge virtual/perl-libnet
# emerge virtual/perl-Module-Load
# emerge virtual/perl-Sys-Syslog
# emerge virtual/perl-Time-HiRes
# emerge media-libs/netpbm
# emerge dev-libs/boost
# emerge dev-libs/pcre++
# emerge dev-perl/Expect
# emerge dev-perl/Archive-Zip
# emerge perl-core/Time-HiRes
# emerge media-libs/netpbm

# emerge dev-perl/net-sftp

# revdep-rebuild
and if you upgrade perl you must start
# perl-cleaner reallyall

You need to configure your database with mysql:

Code: Select all

# mysql --user=root -p 
Enter password: xxxx

# mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| mysql              |
| test               |
| zm                 |
+--------------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

#mysql> drop database zm;
Query OK, 16 rows affected (0.01 sec)

# mysql> create database zm;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
# quit;
Bye
# mysql --user=root -p zm < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
# mysql --user=root -p zm

# mysql> grant select,insert,update,delete,create on zm.* to 'your_zm_user'@localhost identified by 'your_zm_password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
# mysql> quit;
Bye
# mysqladmin --user=root -p reload

You need startup service for auto run ZoneMinder at boot

# nano -w /etc/init.d/zoneminder

Code: Select all

#!/sbin/runscript
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# File:    /etc/init.d/zoneminder
# Purpose:  Startup the Zoneminder Server
# By:   Danky
# Date: 8-31-2010
# Upgrated By Christophe DAPREMONT (christophe_y2k@yahoo.fr) for zm >= V1.25.0 BUILD 3579 SVN on gentoo linux
# Date: 31 December 2011 Happy New Year
# Updated 15 Aout 2012
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
depend()	{ 
		use mysql apache2
}

		 RETVAL=0 
		else
		 echo "ZoneMinder is stopped"
		 RETVAL=1
		fi
		exit ${RETVAL}
}

# chmod +x /etc/init.d/zoneminder

You need apache configuration file:

# nano -w /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/10_zoneminder.conf

Code: Select all

ScriptAlias /var/www/zoneminder/cgi-bin/zms "/var/www/zoneminder/cgi-bin/zms"
ScriptAlias /var/www/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms "/var/www/zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms"

<Directory "/var/www/zoneminder/cgi-bin">
  AllowOverride All
  Options ExecCGI
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory> 

Alias /zoneminder "/var/www/zoneminder/htdocs"

<Directory "/var/www/zoneminder/htdocs">
  Options -Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride All
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory> 

# rc-update add zoneminder default

and now compilation of ZM:

Code: Select all

# cd /usr/share/zoneminder

# ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-webhost=zoneminder --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-libarch=lib64 --with-mysql=/usr --with-ffmpeg=/usr --with-webdir=/var/www/zoneminder/htdocs --with-cgidir=/var/www/zoneminder/cgi-bin --with-webuser=apache --with-webgroup=apache --enable-debug=no --enable-crashtrace=no --enable-mmap=no ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=your_zm_user ZM_DB_PASS=your_zm_password CXXFLAGS=-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS

# make
# make install
# make clean
# cd ..
# zmupdate.pl
# zmupdate.pl -f

Now you can start ZoneMinder:

# /etc/init.d/zoneminder start
Go to webpage http://localhost/zoneminder
and configure your zoneminder

------------------------------
CONFIGURATION of STREAMING
IN "OPTIONS" --> "PATHS"

PATH_ZMS --> Web path to zms streaming server (?) --> /zoneminder/cgi-bin/nph-zms
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For move the events directory to another destination (on big raid5 hdd) :
My system is compiled on 120Go SSD for faster result, and ZoneMinder data are stocked on 2.8To RAID5...
/video is my 2.8To formatted with ext4, RAID5 4x1To HDD array (software raid with mdadm)

# mkdir /video/zoneminder
# mkdir /video/zoneminder/htdocs
# mkdir /video/zoneminder/htdocs/events
# chown -R apache:apache /video/zoneminder
# mv /var/www/zoneminder/htdocs/events /video/zoneminder/htdocs/events
# chown -R apache:apache /video/zoneminder

# ln -s /video/zoneminder/htdocs/events /var/www/zoneminder/htdocs/events
