Make error Fedora 11 zm_utils.cpp:32

[mcleandl]

Hi All,
Learning more about compiling code then I ever wanted to. Trying to get Zoneminder 1.24.2 up on Fedora 11 and believe I'm running into a compiler issue.

Was able to get ffmpeg compiled OK.

FFmpeg version git-e708784, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et al.

./configure --enable-postproc --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads

But when i do the make on zm I get the following error.

I did find one thread that mentioned a possible problem with the latest gcc compiler.

Does anyone have any idea how to move forward or should I just move back to FC 10.

Thanks in advance

Google is a wonderful thing.

It appears that the new version of gcc, version 4.r.0-4 which installs with Fedora 11 requires the following code at the beginning of all ./src/*.cpp such as zm_utils.cpp

#include <cstdio>

Zoneminder-1.24.2 now compiles without complaining about zm_utils.cpp:32

Off to a new challenge:

zmc -d /dev/video0' exited abnormally, exit status 6

I hope Phil or one of the developers can verify this. I'm not a coder (not even a little)

Thanks a million ... I'd never have figured out the solution ... at least not this quickly
