Building Motion+ from source

[sroller]

I started over with a fresh installation of Bookworm 64-bit on a Raspberry PI 3+.
I'd like to build with libcam enabled. --with-libcam=DIR
But whatever I try with a dir, without a dir at the end libcamera support show always up as no.
What do I do wrong?

[Mr-Dave]

I usually use the packaging tool to create a deb. In that script, it includes the following packages libcamera-tools and libcamera-dev . With those packages, it shouldn't be necessary to specify a dir. (The guide package list does need to get updated to include these two)

I guess libcamera-dev is the key. I'll follow your recommendation wrt the packaging tool. You should know best!

I'm happy to report that I have (again) a running system. After installing libcamera-dev Motion+ can control my Pi camera (v2.1). What remains to do is to adjust the parameters and scripts to the new software.
The packaging also worked, but eventually I just run the famous

./configure
make
sudo make install

sequence which was successful.
