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

Thanks for the input guys. I've almost got it. David, I saw your thread in
the archives and tried building the certified ffmpeg. It tooks hours and
was eventually unsuccessful, so I couldn't be bothered to try again.

So, I found this thread (
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=9045) to build
ffmpeg from source from deb-multimedia.org. I know that ffmpeg works with
motion on my Pi, as I can download motion from the repo and it will
generate flv files - just no mysql support.

So after waiting for 4 hours for ffmpeg from deb-multimedia.org to compile
again, it was successful and I was able to install. I can now configure
motion without having to point to ffmpeg files (just mysql).

I then got the same error again from my original post. I saw that you both
mentioned videodev.h and I remembered that I created a symlink to solve an
error I was having a while ago as directed here:
http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2012x02x06x133332

I removed that symlink motion *almost* compiles!

I now get the error (otherwise everything else seems to build):

/tmp/ccWlNUDM.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccWlNUDM.s:1639: Error: bad instruction `emms'
make: *** [ffmpeg.o] Error 1
