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

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

I have just finished installing Motion on three Pogo Plug computers, 
which are very similar to the Raspberry Pi, except that they're running 
Arch Linux.  I had a lot of trouble getting it installed on all three, 
but on the third one I finally wised up and took notes. Maybe they will 
help.  Here's what I had to do - note that this is to install Motion 
version 3.2.12 on a virgin Pogo, so adjust them accordingly.

1 - cd /tmp (or wherever you have at least 150MB of space)
2 - download ffmpeg-motion.tar.gz (the one that is certified to work 
with Motion)
3 - download motion-3.2.12.tar.gz
4 - install gcc
5 - install make
6 - install v4l-utils
7 - install mysql-clients
8 - ln -s /usr/include/libv4l1-videodev.h /usr/include/linux/videodev.h
9 - tar -xvzf ffmpeg-motion.tar.gz
10 - tar -xvzf motion-3.2.12.tar.gz
11 - cd ffmpeg
12 - ./configure --disable-ffplay
13 - make (this step takes about an hour!)
14 - make install
15 - cd ../motion-3.2.12
16 - vi track.h (insert "#include <linux/videodev2.h>" into track.h on 
line 13, just after the alg.h include)
17 - ./configure
18 - make
19 - make install

HTH.
