ZoneMinder build Woes
I finally got time again to look at ZoneMinder . As my ElCheapo webcams are supported now in recent kernels it was time to give ZoneMinder another try.
I started of from a Fresh FC6 install , upgraded the kernel, then ran into this article telling me to get ffmpeg-devel and some other packages. I took them from atrpms. 5 minutes later I ran into a build failure that showed up 3 google hits but no result.
(Too bad I forgot to save the error somewhere)
Then I ran into Sebastien Wains Installing ZoneMinder 1.22.3 under CentOS 4.4
Not that much different from the other howto, apart from where you have to get ffmpeg etc.
I got the ffmpeg packages from the Dries /RPMForge repository. And then off course ZoneMinder builds like a charm.
I hadn't noticed that SELinux was enabled on the box (I usually disable it ) which kept me from having an instant working setup. But one reboot and SELinux disable later we're up and running.
As of now I`ll know which Cat to punish for bringing in (dead) mice and birds !
