[Motion-user] Problems compiling for ARM (Raspberry Pi)

[Robin C. <rob...@gm...>]

I've been trying for weeks to compile Motion on my Raspberry Pi running
Debian Wheezy.

I can successfully install Motion with apt-get but this doesn't support
mysql, so I've been trying to compile it myself.

I've tried the latest motion, as well as motion-trunk, and I get different
errors for each one. I've tried compiling ffmpeg, it takes hours to compile
and each version I've tried has given errors when building.

I feel this is the farthest I've got using the latest motion-trunk and
FFMPEG from deb-multimedia.org. I have it configured to include FFMPEG and
MYSQL using:

sudo ./configure --with-mysql-lib=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
--with-ffmpeg=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf

But when it comes to make I get the following errors:
