error compiling ffmpeg.c with Suse 10.1 and ffmpeg 0.4.9-7

Question

With Suse 10.1 I get an error message while compiling the source code.

Suse 10.1 Kernel 2.6.13-15.11 ffmpeg 0.4.9-7.pm.svn20060817 (i586) (Packman Suse 10.0) mysql 4.1.13 (i586) postgresql 8.0.3-15 (i586)

I checked your support pages, FAQs, web sites... no hints

---

UPDATE: maybe I have found an solution mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=24808614&forum_id=45090 "Try adding '-DFFMPEG_AVWRITEFRAME_NEWAPI' without the quotes to the CFLAGS argument in the Makefile"

-> compilation succeded

thx Ralf

Answer

hello,
i have running motion with suse 10.1:
-i uninstalled ffmpeg with yast
-after that i searched for ffmpeg files
-i deleted the folder /usr/local/include/ffmpeg
-i installed ffmpeg with rpm -i ffmpeg-0.4.9-0.lvn.0.20.20051228.4.i386.rpm (but i was still not able to install motion)
-i installed ffmpeg again with: make clean, configure, make, make install.
-then i installed motion with: make clean, configure, make, make install.

...its running now, but without ffmpeg support.
I know it's not professionell but do not need the mpeg files.
If you have questions you can mail to willlli(at)web.de

kind regards
willi
