BUG: Mac OS X ffmpeg patch/configure error & Motion pthread support error

I followed the instructions in the Mac installation guide, using Motion-3.2.4 and the ffmpeg-for-motion-3.2.4 snapshot on SourceForge. The -macosx.patch didn't work probably because I'm using 10.5, but I don't really know anything about this. Just pretending that it worked, though, I ran ./configure the way I'm supposed to. That worked fine, but make fails with "no rule to make target 'libavdevice.' Following some help from other websites, I used --disable-vhook. That didn't work either. So I'm not sure if I should be complaining to ffmpeg developers or not. I even tried building Motion-3.2.11 with the latest SVN of ffmpeg (0.4.8 I think). The new ffmpeg builds just fine, but now Motion can't detect pthread support OR ffmpeg!

After messing around with various versions of Motion and ffmpeg to no success, I installed ffmpeg through Fink. Then I tried to configure Motion with "./configure --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg" and it still can't do it. I'm a C noob, so what am I doing wrong? Is Mac OS 10.5 just not supported yet? And how do I get pthread support? Even a shot at --enable-linuxthreads doesn't work.

Motion port for MacOS is broken because no one was interested to help testing and i have not access to any Mac machine anymore.

I don't remember was version was used but i guess was 10.4 so is normal that it doesn't work on 10.5.x

I thought Leopard (10.5) had built-in support for Tiger (10.4) applications. Are C libraries more picky?

Angel, what would you (or anyone else) need to get Motion for Mac OS development going again? How can I can help?

i can update motion port to Mac OS but i need a machine ( remote access ). To do easier you can come to #motion channel in irc.

Hi,

I would be interested in working to port this code to snow leopard. I won't be able to give you a shell, but will try to find you in #motion on the weekend.

Is anyone working on this? I too have found this problem with the configure script on a mac running "tiger". So it's not just due to newer OS. I have managed to install ffmpeg and have the configure script find it, but the pthread has me confused. In the script, the command used is 'test -f ${THREAD_CHECK}' for which THREAD_CHECK = "/usr/include/pthread.h" . Considering that that file exists and is fine, I don't understand why the test function does not return a positive. In fact, the weird thing is that it doesn't appear to give a return value at all as read from the output:

checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking threads...
checking for libjpeg-mmx... skipping
checking for libjpeg...
checking for jpeg_set_defaults in -ljpeg... no

(same for jpeg?)

Is something doing an auto configure to linuxthreads?

for clarity, I'm running MacOS 10.4.11; Motion 3.2.11.1; ffmpeg 0.5


Unless someone running MacOS will handle motion port for MacOS, it will be unsupported.
