[Motion-user] Compile errors for Motion

[David P. <da...@de...>]

I just finished building Motion 3.2.12 on my ArchLinux PogoPlug, and it 
took some head-scratching to get it to compile.

For the record, here's what I had to do to get it to install:

 1. *./configure* (shows no ffmpeg support)
 2. *pacman -S ffmpeg* (duh!)
 3. *./configure* (everything copacetic now)
 4. *make* (right off the bat, got "motion.h:43:28: fatal error:
    linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory")
 5. *ln -s /usr/include/libv4l1-videodev.h /usr/include/linux/videodev.h*
 6. *make* (got further this time, but then got "track.c:589:24: error:
    ‘V4L2_CID_PRIVATE_BASE’ undeclared (first use in this function)")
 7. inserted "*#include <linux/videodev2.h>*" into track.h on line 13,
    just after the alg.h include
 8. *make* (got even further, but then got "ffmpeg.c:76:29: error:
    unknown type name ‘URLContext’"*)*
 9. *pacman -R ffmpeg* (grrr...)
10. downloaded*http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/motion/Related%20Projects/ffmpeg-for-motion-3.2.5/ffmpeg-cvs-20060306-certified-with-motion-3.2.5.tar.gz*
11. *tar -xzvf ffmpeg-cvs-20060306-certified-with-motion-3.2.5.tar.gz*
12. *cd ffmpeg*
13. *./configure --disable-ffplay*
14. *make *(this takes a looooooong time to complete)
15. *make install*
16. *cd ../motion-3.2.12
    *
17. *./configure *
18. *make*
19. *make install*
