That was easy!  Got it compiled and running in minutes.  I now get the
live view, but the image is stretched vertically.  The one camera is
running in Monitor mode and the ZoneMinder Console shows it with
Function "Monitor [R]" and Source "/dev/video0(0) [S]"  is it normal
for the source being "[S] Stopped"? It seems that the console is just to
see the status and nothing can be controlled from it, right?

What configuration do I need to do to get the live view with the proper
aspect ratio?

Thanks!
