[Motion-user] Fw: videodev.h missing (why not update 3.2.12 on home page download)

[peter t. <pet...@ya...>]

OK I have installed a missing  libjpeg8-dev (maybe not the right version?)

sudo apt-get install libjpeg8-dev

and now get 

/usr/local/motion-3/trunk/picture.c:511: undefined reference to `jpeg_set_defaults'
/usr/local/motion-3/trunk/picture.c:513: undefined reference to `jpeg_set_quality'
/usr/local/motion-3/trunk/picture.c:517: undefined reference to `jpeg_start_compress'
/usr/local/motion-3/trunk/picture.c:524: undefined reference to `jpeg_write_scanlines'
/usr/local/motion-3/trunk/picture.c:528: undefined reference to `jpeg_finish_compress'
/usr/local/motion-3/trunk/picture.c:530: undefined reference to `jpeg_destroy_compress'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [motion] Error 1

compilation error 

This is a minefield........

Thanks Steven for your reply which has helped me enormously.

I tried the latest SVN  today

./ configure

make

now I have compilation error :-

netcam.h:19:21: fatal error: jpeglib.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [.depend] Error 1

Any ideas?

Thank you

Is there a good reason why the motion home page (where every new person starts) with latest version download 3.2.12  has not been updated to prevent videodev.h error occuring whilst building the binary.

I am relatively new to linux using Ubuntu 11.10 and when this occurs and when I  find a solution in the forum as below. I do not understand what is a svn or git?  I just wanted it not to be broken for a first time use by a  newbie.

Can someone give me the time to point me in the right way to get motion working (before I like presumably many others have to walk  away from a great piece of software).


for the error: 
linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory
 Fix record 
Update to svn or git version , where it has been fixed. Cheers, -- AngelCarpintero - 19 Feb 2012
