BUG: Motion for MACOSX 10.4 (ppc)

hello,

i am trying to install motion on my MAC ppc.

I followed instructions per the motion website for MAC installations:

1- The installation refers to older versions of ffmpeg, motion and libjpegs. is there a more up to date instructions using latest revisions for MAC OS?

2- While following the instructions, i get the following error when i try to make ffmpeg within the motion directory: makemake -C libavcodec all cc -no-cpp-precomp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mdynamic-no-pic -faltivec -g -O3 -Wall -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I.. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o common.o common.c In file included from avcodec.h:14, from common.c:27: common.h:68: error: array type has incomplete element type common.h:70: error: array type has incomplete element type make[1]: * [common.o] Error 1 make: * [lib] Error 2

hope you can help,

regards,

fawzi

Well forget to use this version of motion with that old ffmpeg version as i think that you cannot compile ffmpeg-0.4.8 in your current system. So lets go forward , get latest version of motion 3.2.9 with current ffmpeg version in MAC and try to compile.
