Zoneminder on Arch Linux ARM

[Aarshad]

Anyone here tried or installated Zoneminder on Arch Linux ARM ? It seems that there is no clear manual or topic on how to do this

I have been trying it with no success, keep getting errors in the ./configure and make

[pepedog]

Have you tried yaourt yet?
pacman -S yaourt
yaourt zoneminder

Now when it asks for editor, select nano
Whenever it asks if you want to edit PKGBUILD, yes, then change arch to arm
It's going to also build depends, I see ffmpeg-svn and perl-php-serialization, maybe more

[Aarshad]

Wo i didnt know that,

after doing yaourt zoneminder, it seems to be in some kind of loop, keeps requesting me if I want to edit PKGBUILD, although all the arch's are turned into arm

Quite likely the edit PKGBUILD is not a loop, but dependancies being sought.
If your "my PKGBUILD" contains only that, it won't work.

Or you go to https://aur.archlinux.org/ and build each by download the tar, extract and build those, but they might have depends too.

[Aarshad]

Even when i do continue installation i get this error:


$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '==> Building and installing package
==> Install or build missing dependencies for zoneminder:
error: target not found: ffmpeg-svn>=18940
==> Restart building zoneminder ? [y/N]')

I tried finding this ffmpeg-svn but cant find it, i installed already ffmpeg through yaourt

[pepedog]

You could try editing PKGBUILD (as well as arch) so ffmpeg-svn>=18940 becomes ffmpeg.
Sometimes with leading edge, the need a leading edge dependancy too, but time marches on and the features in that depend is built into current stuff.
If zoneminder is so good and it is worth something for the community, might pay to (instead of yaourt) to download from aur, and build the package https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg
If you try and fail, I will have a go for you
Notice there are a lot of perl packages as depends, these might need building too (they will be quick to do), just plug away (oh, a pun)

[Aarshad]

Ill try to make it,

For now I have come a bit further, changed the ffmpeg-svn > xxxx to ffmpeg like you suggested, stil some few things which are weird for me

Also in the PKGBUILD i had to change the jscalander-1.0.zip location to the http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/sfnet ... ar-1.0.zip

Look at the line in PKGBUILD which is
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'http://www.charliemouse.com:8080/code/cambozola/cambozola-0.50.tar.gz
you have to change it to this
http://www.charliemouse.com:8080/code/cambozola/cambozola-latest.tar.gz')
cambozola has moved on perhaps?
Save PKGBUILD and run this
makepkg -g --asroot
It will generate checksums, edit PKGBUILD with that in
I think it will build then, good luck, use pacman -U to install

[Aarshad]

Yeah i found that also on the net, and have tried it...copied the PKGBUILD to the root directory but when i run this makepkg -g --asroot PKGBUILD, get the following error which i cannot seem to figure out, also nothing on the net on it. Is the zm.rc.d a directory ? the thing is that this was not a problem when using yaourt zoneminder

You should not have moved the PKGBUILD. It references downloads and local files which you got with the tar.gz file
-g will download the sources (if not already done) and produce MD5 checks.
Replace the obvious in the PKGBUILD with the output, save and build.
If you are not doing this as root, leave out --asroot
