FreeBSD Fix Compile

Problem description

When you try to compile FreeBSD version of motion without bktr support ( V4L in linux ) passing --without-v4l to configure , make don't work raising an error about some not defined vales METEOR_* that's because the headers files containing METEOR_*_* values are not included due are not needed without bktr.

If you have ffmpeg installed but don't have lame library motion fails to compile :

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmp3lame

So i've updated the patch to solve that in configure.in.freebsd excluding -lmp3lame, configure.in ( linux version ) had that issue fixed already, so i guess now both configure.in are synchronised.

Solution

Apply this patch , How ? ( see below ):

1. -. Get & descompress the patch gunzip freeBSD-patch--without-v4l.diff.gz
2. -. Apply the patch tar xfvz motion-3.1.16.tar.gz ; cd motion-3.1.16 ; patch -p1 < ../freeBSD-patch--without-v4l.diff
3. -. Configure & Build motion for FreeBSD cp configure.in.freebsd configure.in ; autoconf ; ./configure --without-v4l ; make ; make install
