Unknown config option...

Question

Hi, after many attempts have finally managed to install FFmpeg (ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1 with ./Configure --enable-shared,

make, make install). In /usr/local/lib there are are libavcodec.so and libavformat.so files, but the problem remains, the output of the

launching of Motion is always the same and the videos are not generated. What I can see? What I can do?

OUTPUT FFmpeg install:

./configure --enable-shared

Answer

Stefano,

that's a good start, but you have to compile motion again in order to include ffmpeg support.

Just do './configure' and 'make clean all' in the motion source directory again and it should work.
