Motion - Support Question 2011x 05x 21x 195959

cannot compile motion 3.2.12 with latest ffmpeg

Question

I was able to compile motion 3.2.12 before I upgraded my debian 5 to 6 (squeeze) and ffmpeg to the latest git. Now I get:

ffmpeg.c: In function 'ffmpeg_open':

ffmpeg.c:380: error: 'CODEC_TYPE_VIDEO' undeclared (first use in this function)

I tried the latest motion 3.2 and the trunk: same results.

Attached are:

config.log
session log of configure and make

Environment

Motion version: 3.2.12
ffmpeg version: git-N-30120-ge6ec921
Libraries: ffmpeg
Server OS: Debian Squeeze, kernel 2.6.32

Answer

Motion works with ffmpeg-0.6.3 the current release of ffmpeg , it's very tough to make it work for every single change of ffmpeg API .

So probably it will never work with GIT version of ffmpeg. But it will with ffmpeg 0.7

Cheers,

Comment

The problem is that if one uses GIT version of mplayer, it forces him to use GIT version of ffmpeg. I thought the usual way is to compile GIT with GIT, as vlc does.

Try GIT or SVN trunk version of motion.
