RH 9, ZM 1.20.1 FFMPEG 0.4.9 Compile Issue

Fmstrat · Post by **Fmstrat** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 3:34 am

System: Redhat 9
ZoneMinder: 1.20.1
FFMPEG: 0.4.9-pre1

I'm having a compilation issue that I've tried numerous things to fix with no luck at all. I've searched and can't seem to find anything that helps, so this will be long but I'll try to make it straight forward. Here's what I do.

# cd /opt/Software/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1
# make
# make install

That goes off without a hitch. Then:

# cd /opt/Software/ZoneMinder/zm-1.20.1
# ./configure --with-ffmpeg=/opt/Software/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1 --with-mysql=/usr --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --with-webuser=apache --with-webgroup=apache

configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-lame option.
This tells configure where to find the Lame library which can be used by the ffmpeg libraries
to generate IE compatible MPEG audio streams. This option is only necessary if you have built
the ffmpeg package itself with the --enable-mp3lame option and if the normal link cannot
find the library. Using mp3lame is not necessary or of any benefit to ZoneMinder per se.

Notice the bold warning above? I've tried to fix this in some other steps as well. So, I went ahead and ran:

# perl zmconfig.pl

And answered all the questions appropriatly. I tried saying yes and no to the ffmpeg question, no difference seemed to occur. I then created the db:

# cd db
# mysql < zmschema.sql
# cd ..

I then granted my user permissions in mysql, and ran:

# perl zmconfig.pl -noi

And the output was normal. So I tried `make`, and got this error at the end:

then mv -f ".deps/zm_event.Tpo" ".deps/zm_event.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/zm_event.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

So, since it was trying to find the /opt/Software/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h file, and there is no include directory in the ffmpeg release, I tried this:

# cd /opt/Software/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1
# mkdir include
# cd include
# ln -s ../libavformat ffmpeg

That way, it would find the missing file. I ran through the whole process of configure and zmconfig.pl and make again, after deleting and re-extracting ZM and dropping the database, and `make` outputted this error:

So this time it couldn't find avcodec.h, so I tried one final attempt:

# cd /opt/Software/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1
# rm -rf include
# mkdir include
# cd include
# mkdir ffmpeg
# cd ffmpeg
# cp -ar ../../libavformat/* .
# cp -ar ../../libavcodec/* .

This would force it to find all the missing files. I ran through everything again and `make` outputted:

This time, no missing files, so I'm at a total loss. Any ideas?

It sounds like you need to correctly install the Library files for ffmpeg.
See this thread:
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... nstalllibs
or
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... stall+libs
or check ffmpeg.sourceforge.com for the correct way to do this.
should be as easy as adding --enable shared to the configure line.
Cheers,
Cordel

I actually tried the --with-shared, didn't realize until just now after retrying that it produced a different error. I tried using /usr/local and /opt/Software/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1 as the --with-ffmpeg directory. Both times I got this:

On another note, just playing around, I was able to get zm-1.19.0 to compile using ffmpeg 0.4.8. However, I'd much rather be using the newest versions of things.

You might want to check the ffmpeg site for clues. I don't run RH9 anymore due to lack of machines but I know there are a lot of changes in the cvs version and I think it requires gcc 3.2 as a minimum allong with several other requierments that you will need to make sure you meet. I'm not sure if this will require a rebuild of the tool chain or not but unless RH9 had all the updates you need before RH stopped supporting it, It might be a job.

OK, I will look into it. I also found that the change that causes the problem on my machine is in zm-1.19.1. From that version on the:

configure: WARNING: libavformat.a is required for MPEG streaming

comes up, but 1.19.0 compiles like a champ. I'll probably just give 1.19.0 a go and make sure this app is what I'm looking for before looking into a full system upgrade. This is also my MythTV box, so I'd rather not do any big system changes. I'm suprised there are no other Redhat9 users out there having this issue though

FFMPEg on RH9 should be set with prefix /usr insted of the /usr/share it defualts too so the it places its shared files in lib. you should also do an ldconfig after placing the files there and you can also do "make installlibs" (or maybe make installlib sorry it's been a while) from the ffmpeg build dir will install the shared files then do ldconfig.

Yea, I did that, the make install when you do --enable-shared actually installs the libs and runs an ldconfig. Still no luck

I'm sure I'll be sitting in front of it at some point and say "oh. OH YEA"

OK, so I got 1.19.0 installed, but is there a way for me to point it at a different lib directory, or a way for me to just turn MPEG off alltogether? I get this:

root@myth:~# zmc -device 1
zmc: relocation error: /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so: undefined symbol: av_freep
root@myth:~#

and I assume it's because my lib files are the new version of ffmpeg files and not the version I compiled with. /dev/video1 works fine in MythTv (bttv card I just put in)

You might be able to install the version you compiled with with a prefix=/usr/local then compile zm with --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local and leave the other newer version prefix=/usr or visa/versa. I don't know that it would work as I have never tried and is beyond my current knowledge.
As for turning it off in ZM I think you just don't add --with-ffmpeg in the configure script but Phil would know better than I.

I'll give your first recommendation a shot, as for the second, I've tried without it and --without-ffmpeg, but the configure script always leaves it on no matter what.

Alrighty, got one step farther. "zmc -d 1" ran good, but did nothing. However, I was dumb and ran it as root instead of apache, so now I'm getting:

/var/log/messages
Mar 18 00:19:35 myth zms[6940]: ERR [Can't shmget: Permission denied]

/var/log/zm/zmwatch.log
Can't read from shared memory '2053971970/36241410': Permission denied

How do I reset these permissions for apache? The output of ipcs -m is:

------ Shared Memory Segments --------

Reconfigure and recompile if you haven't already.

Also I'd be interested in knowing your config and how it works out with both zm and mythtv on the same box. Keep me posted on how it goes and if it works out.

Success! I just rebooted the darn thing to free up the memory address. All works well now. I ended up biting the bullet and downgrading my system ffmpeg to 0.4.8, then going through some tests with mythtv to ensure that the downgrade didn't cause any problems.

So now I have mythtv running on /dev/video0 (ivtv card) and ZoneMinder running on /dev/video1 (bttv card).

Awesome

You'll have to post us in a week or two on how that works out and on what hardware.
