8 years ago You know, the message is kindof clear. It is looking for libexecinfo at /usr/lib/libexecinfo.so, and it obviously isn't there. You might try something like sudo find /usr -name "libexecinfo*" to find it.

At the moment, I can't get anything to build using ports. Are they really that unstable?
Can you educate me on what steps you took in terms of installing your freebsd system, to get it to this point?

commented
8 years ago One other thought occurred to me... sometimes positioning on the command line matters. Maybe the -llibexecinfo is somehow placed wrong.
connortechnology
commented
8 years ago The other thing I am noticing is that it shouldn't be -lexecinfo.so, it should just be -lexecinfo the .so is extraneous.

commented
8 years ago Here are the steps I did to build this:
connortechnology
commented
8 years ago Data point for historical purposes: commenting out lines 207 to 209 of CMakeLists.txt fixes this build. the check for the libexecinfo library is returning libexecinfo.so instead of libexecinfo. Need to look into why.

8 years ago I built zoneminder with the following options
cmake -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -DZM_WEBDIR=/usr/local/www/zoneminder -DZM_CGIDIR=/usr/local/www/zoneminder/cgi-bin -DZM_CONTENTDIR=/usr/local/www/zoneminder/data -DZM_DB_HOST=localhost -DZM_DB_NAME=zm -DZM_WEB_USER=www -DZM_WEB_GROUP=www -DZM_CONFIG_DIR=/usr/local/etc ..ZM installed all the perl modules in the root (/) folder when doing gmake install. FreeBSD out of the box has the modules at
$ls -la /usr/local/lib/perl5/
total 42
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 4 Feb 20 02:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 root wheel 809 Feb 20 03:13 ..
drwxr-xr-x 57 root wheel 128 Feb 20 02:51 5.20
drwxr-xr-x 20 root wheel 26 Feb 20 02:51 site_perlThe modules should thus be installed at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Zoneminder. How can i fix the perl module path?
After manually moving the perl modules to /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Zoneminder, i tried to start zoneminder, but it gave an error:
$service start zoneminder
Starting zoneminder.
DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Out of range value for column 'Pid' at row 1 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/ZoneMinder/Logger.pm line 652How can this be fixed?

commented
8 years ago ZoneMinder will by default try to install to the vendor_perl folders, not site_perl. You should refer to Perl's Make::Maker documentation to learn where those folders should be on your file system.
You can of course override that. See the main CMakeLists.txt file for the proper cmake flag to set.
Couple of things:
rajil
commented
8 years ago I guess ZM_PERL_MM_PARMS is the variable to be set. Is this how it should be set?
ZM_PERL_MM_PARMS:STRING=INSTALLDIRS=/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/The install logs are attached. gmake.install.txt CMakeCache.txt
knight-of-ni
commented
8 years ago Not sure what you mean by building it a separate directory. If you mean building into a staging folder, then you should be setting the $DESTDIR env variable before calling cmake. Try setting that and calling cmake with just one "." Getting this wrong has been known to put Perl modules in weird places.
rajil
commented
8 years ago I had created a separate build directory. However, based on the log files above you can possibly see i am building in the base directory now with the same end result.
knight-of-ni
commented
8 years ago From your build output:
-- Installing: //ZoneMinder::Control::PelcoD.3
-- Installing: //ZoneMinder::Trigger::Connection::Example.3
-- Installing: //ZoneMinder.pmSee the double slash? The output should be
Installing: /path/to/your/systems/vendor/folder/ZoneMinder::Control::PelcoD.3That means that Perl's Make::Maker module is getting an empty string for the value of the vendor folders. I am disappointed it did not stop with an error, but kept on trucking.
Consult the Make::Maker documentation to learn more: http://perldoc.perl.org/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.html
Scroll down to see all the INSTALLDIRS macros.
To see the values of all those macros on your system, do a perl '-V:install.*'
Knowing why this is happening will help us determine if we can do something on our end to prevent this from happening to other users.
If you don't care about the "why", then try working around the problem by manually setting ZM_PERL_MM_PARMS to something other than the default. Typically you would set INSTALLDIRS to one of perl, site, or vendor, rather than a hard coded folder. To get more control over the destination you can read about INSTALL_BASE or PREFIX. Make sure and read through all the documentation because these tend to be tricky and can have unintended side effects.
It would also be interesting to know what @connortechnology did in his attempt to isntall zoneminder on freebsd.

To get a better idea of where it is failing, turn on debug and look for the debug output coming from your perl scripts.

8 years ago In my rig
root@zm:~ # which sh sudo

/usr/local/bin/sudoBut i dont have apache configured since i was hoping to use nginx.
I built ZM again using '-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug', but i dont see any other message except the previous error (Unable to find valid 'su' syntax ).
knight-of-ni
commented
8 years ago You should be able to use nginx as long it has equivalents to Apache's Alias and Script Alias directives. It probably does. The important thing is the account name in which you run the web server under has to be the same account name you told ZoneMinder when you built it. The ZM_WEB_USER.
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug build C debugging symbols which we don't need in this case.
Get the web portal working after installing zoneminder. From the web portal Options, turn on debug and enable debug output to the web log and component files. You don't have to have ZoneMinder "running" to do this.
Then try and start zoneminder. This time it should tell you exactly what line of Perl script is causing the error message.

8 years ago I'm going to close this thread out. With the recent commits from @knnniggett and myself, ZM now installs just fine on FreeBSD. There's some shoring up to do, but it is usable:
zm1 / >zmpkg.pl status
stopped
zm1 />zmpkg.pl start
zm1 / >zmpkg.pl status
running

8 years ago @17garcol17 Please do not double post. Since your issue is not a bug, but a configuration issue, the appropriate place to have this conversation is in the thread you already created in the user forum.
I tried compiling version 1.29 in a FreeBSD 10.2 jail but it failed.
