As advised by mail. This and similar compilation problems with recent ffmpeg releases appears to be fixed by adding to the ZM configure line. I don't know if this is the 'official' way of getting around it though.

I only found this topic after I figured out the fix and searched for "D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS" on the forum. Just before I was going to post the fix to see if I wasn't duplicated work. The compilation error more commonly seen with the latest versions of ffmpeg is the following.


if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -fno-inline -I/usr/include -frepo -g -O2 -MT zmc.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/zmc.Tpo" -c -o zmc.o zmc.cpp; \
then mv -f ".deps/zmc.Tpo" ".deps/zmc.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/zmc.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

Adding the flag -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS ... I used CXXFLAGS myself... same difference... as stated fixes the issue. Hopefully others will find this thread now and find it helpful.

pls where to pou CPPFLAGS="-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS"?

Code: Select all

CPPFLAGS="-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS"

to the ZM configure line. I don't know if this is the 'official' way of getting around it though.

where is the zm configuration file to put the code please?

i found the answer http://churchgoopensource.blogspot.com/ ... u-904.html

The tip from the siteadmin worked for me under

Ubuntu server 10.04.1 LTS 32bit and
FFmpeg from svn on 22nd sep ,2010
ZM from svn on 22nd sep, 2010

all i did to fix the problem after i have faced the problems with compiling zm giving erros such...

zm_ffmpeg.h:33:2: error: #error "No location for avutils.h found"
zm_ffmpeg.h:40:2: error: #error "No location for avcodec.h found"
zm_ffmpeg.h:47:2: error: #error "No location for avformat.h found"
zm_ffmpeg.h:55:2: error: #error "No location for swscale.h found"

...was to adapt my configuration file before compiling zm from source;

my new config line that worked was:


./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/zm --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/cgi-bin \
ZM_DB_HOST=localhost ZM_DB_NAME=zm ZM_DB_USER=zmuser \
ZM_DB_PASS=zmpass --enable-debug=yes \
--with-webgroup=www-data --with-webuser=www-data \
--enable-mmap CPPFLAGS="-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS"

and after that...

autoconf
automake
make
... create zm db, grant, etc (*)
make install

and worked like a charm !

(*) details of install based on my contribution to the wiki under

http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... ver_32-bit


Tks again mr. phil !
