opensuse 11

Question

I want to try Motion. But my actual version of ffmpeg is 0.4.9.15793svn-20081108.pm.1300 on opensuse 11. I have tried to complie source code of 0.4.8 version, but I have some error that you can see below when type 'make' command.

¿Anybody knows how to solve it? Thanks.

Follow up

You don't need to compile 0.4.8 if you try you have to patch it ( i don't recommend ).

OpenSuse uses ffmpeg svn -r15793 , i didn't test that one but i did with previous one (ffmpeg-0.4.9.15594svn-20081010.pm.2144) and worked with trunk .

What's the issue you have with svn -r15793 ?

Probably your issues is fixed and already written in release notes of 3.2.11 :

I bet this patch fix your problem in opensure http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/pub/Motion/ReleaseNoteMotion3x2x11/ffmpeg-0.4.9.15594svn-20081010.diff
