Hi all, for the past few days I have been attempting to get a non-official port of some CCTV software called 'Zoneminder' working on a freshly installed FreeBSD 7.0 Release system.
The port was apparently created using the autoconf 2.61 tools by a member of the Zoneminder community, however it complains during building that autoconf 2.61 cannot be found, version 2.62 installed if I wish to use this version I should rebuild the build system entirely. Version 2.61 is apprently not available within the ports collection. The Zoneminder FreeBSD port is available for download on their forums here:
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11965
I have tried following the instructions on the autoconf website here:
http://sources.redhat.com/automake/automake.html#Complete
If I extract the package to the /usr/ports/multimedia/Zoneminder folder, then cd into the work/ZoneMinder-1.23.3 directory apply the patches under ../../files/* and then following the instructions on the automake website I then
mv aclocal.m4 acinclude.m4
aclocal
autoreconf
automake --add-missing
finally I cd to the /usr/ports/multimedia/Zoneminder and make install to be presented with the error @AUTOHEADERS@ not found
If I try to run autoheader within work/ZoneMinder-1.23.3 I am told no headers found in configure.in.
Can anyone help me get this port updated so it will build using autoconf2.62? I have of course attempted to contact the author, but have received no response.
Kind regards,
Jimmy
