Building motion from sources

[leoheck]

I have 2 questions, since I am building it from sources and I would like to keep the config files in the same place as the one that comes from the package manager of my OS.

1. How do I install the systemctl service?
2. How do I change the default location of motion.conf to /dev/motion

It is looking in the default path but I want to change the defaul to /etc/motion/motion.conf

[0:motion] [ALR] [ALL] conf_load: could not open configfile /usr/local/etc/motion/motion.conf: No such file or directory

I am trying this, but it doesn't change it.

./configure --prefix=/ --sysconfdir=/etc/

Alright, rebuilding the source fixed #2 since I changed the prefix later.

Now still have to figure out how do I install systemcl service?

Ok I could find the motion.service.in and could use it to make the systemd service.
