./configure

[piecam]

HI Chrisan,

Tried with git mrdave branch of motion and the following command;
cd [your-motion-dir]
./configure --prefix=/usr --without-pgsql --without-sdl --without-sqlite3 --without-mysql

However, it said no such file /directory.
peng@cac:~/motion$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-pgsql --without-sdl --without-sqlite3 --without-mysql
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Any thoughts on this?

I was trying to use a small form factor PC to be a central server to manage all remote pie cam and do a central storage and capture.

Please let me know.

thanks in advance
peng

motion-mrdave's configure mechanism has recently been changed. You'll need to run autoreconf in the source folder first and then run the normal ./configure... command.

HI Crisan,
Tried "autoconf" within that directory and did "./configure --prefix=/usr --without-pgsql --without-sdl --without-sqlite3 --without-mysql". Bumped into this error.

Any suggestions? Sorry to bother for this.

Yes, use autoreconf, as I suggested in my previous answer.

[ccrisan]

The wiki page now mentions this autoreconf command.

[piecam]

thank you very much Crisan!

[piecam]

oh Crisan,

What's the method to confirm that newly compiled "motion" is indeed used?

thanks
peng

[ccrisan]

motion -h should report something else than 3.2.12.

[piecam]

much appreciated!

I am running into the same error as piecam and used autoreconf to create a configure script:

./configure: line 5283: syntax error near unexpected token FFMPEG,' ./configure: line 5283: PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FFMPEG, libavutil libavformat libavcodec libswscale, HAVE_FFMPEG=yes)'

the configure script reads at those lines:

if test "x$with_ffmpeg" != "xno"; then :

   if test "x$with_ffmpeg" != "xyes"; then :

          PKG_CONFIG_PATH=${with_ffmpeg}/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
          export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

fi
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FFMPEG, libavutil libavformat libavcodec libswscale, HAVE_FFMPEG=yes)
fi

what can I do to fix this?

I used autoreconf for mrdave edition and get the same error.

[ccrisan]

@bakroistvan which one, more precisely?

[bakroistvan]

I did the following after sudo su on CHIP (ARM v7):

apt-get install build-essential autoconf libjpeg-dev libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libswscale-dev ffmpeg subversion git
git clone https://github.com/Mr-Dave/motion.git motion-mrdave

cd motion-mrdave
autoreconf
./configure --prefix=/usr --without-pgsql --without-sdl --without-sqlite3 --without-mysql

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

I get the same error as @christf had. I tried with the SVN repo, it works.
So I want to mention that for me: Mr Dave's fork is not recommended.

[DeanCording]

apt-get install pkgconf

Fixes the problem.

[bakroistvan]

Yes it does. Thank you
