Problems with new install of motionplus and libcamera

[bamoore01]

I am doing a reinstall of motionplus on an RPI4/Bookworm. I already have motionplus running on a few other RPI4's and didn't really have a problem getting it installed by following the directions on the motionplus install page. On this install, I'm running into a new set of errors on the make commnand for motionplus installs. The make ends with:

MP -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o libcam.o libcam.cpp &&
mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Po
libcam.cpp: In member function ‘void cls_libcam::config_control_item(std::string, std::string)’:

I;ve seen a few posts about problems with libcamera a compatibility issues with different versions of libecamera but I guess I'm just not geeky enough to understand what they are telling me. Is there something I'm missing?

You should now use Motion instead of Motionplus. I believe this issue is resolved in the current master branch of Motion.

Thanks. Sorry but I'm a little confused. I'm originally started using MotionPlus instead of Motion because I thought it was the replacement for Motion with more capability and the branch that would be expanded on into the future. Is motion now the proper way to go with MotionPlus being a dead end?

[Mr-Dave]

Yes. The Motionplus code was merged into the Motion master branch and is identified as version 5(no official release yet). That master branch now gets all the updates. (It was just too much effort to lift up one new project/application and then have to maintain two different projects in perpetuity).

Got it. Thanks.
