Welcome to Linux Questions.

Using Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy.:

1) sudo apt-get install cmake libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev

2) unzip vxl-1.11.0.zip to e.g. /home/ashwinkumar/tmp
3) mkdir /home/ashwinkumar/tmp/build-vxl
***( Some ( most ? ) applications to be build with 'cmake'
***needs a build directory outside "application/" )

4) cd /home/ashwinkumar/tmp/build-vxl
5) cmake ../vxl-1.11.0/
6) make (.. runs for an hour or so )
7) ctest ( if you wish )
8) sudo make install
will install it all to /usr/local/

Using vxl : please see VXL Book
http://public.kitware.com/vxl/doc/re...core/book.html

Why vxl-1.8.0 ??

I compiled vxl-1.11.0 on Ubuntu 8.04.1 with zero errors.
'vxl-1.11.0.zip' is here
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=617031

And ... did you make a build directory ?
*( /home/ash/Desktop/newproject/build-vxl ?? )
....

Ubuntu 8.04, may be missing 'libexpat1-dev' ?
'g++' upgrade to 'g++-4.2.4' ? Not much difference
from version 4.2.3, but who knows ?
( Run cmake again for libexpat, if it was missing.)
....
Please run the command 'g++ --version'
....
How many % did build before errors ? 20% ? 90% ?
....
Please show from 10 to 15 lines above where the
error appears. ( If compiling is still failing.)
....

.
The package name is probably 'libmpeg2-4-dev'
( From the "universe" repository.)
....
When "configure" ( or cmake ) asks for <package>
it always means <package-dev>
....

I wonder, which version of cmake, you are using ?
I have used ver 2.4.7 and 2.6, none behaved exactly like e.g. # 7
( cmake 2.6 has a function named "find_mpeg2", which works poorly )

Anyway, I had a look at a few things, googling .. MPEG2_vo_LIBRARY vxl ..
https://svn.zib.de/lenne3d/tools/cma...indMPEG2.cmake
http://patch-tracking.debian.net/pat...2-addpath.diff
http://www.marssoft.de/doku.php?id=scratch:compile
and from the above I sketched a script, to be used in the build directory
(or as a very long command)
Code:
/usr/bin/cmake ../vxl-1.8 \
   -DBUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=OFF \
   -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON \
   -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=OFF \
   -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release \
   -DVXL_USE_LFS:BOOL=ON \
   -DMPEG2_INCLUDE_DIR:FILEPATH=/usr/include/mpeg2dec \
   -DMPEG2_mpeg2_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libmpeg2.so \
   -DMPEG2_vo_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libmpeg2.so
Use it, as is, or edit to your requirements.
Seems to 1) find mpeg2 and 2) bypass the DIRECTSHOW / DIRECTX stuff.
....
I did not compile vxl-1.11.0 with mpeg2, if you can't either, be it
1.8 or 1.11, mpeg2 could be disabled. ( Uninstall packages ).
....

gtkmm-2.4 >= 2.8.0 : Means 2.8 or newer. The version in
Ubuntu 8.04 : libgtkmm-2.4-dev = version 2.12.5 .

'sudo apt-get install libcv-dev libhighgui-dev libcvaux-dev \
libgtkmm-2.4-dev libcairomm-1.0-dev libboost-dev'

> > should provide the most, none depends on libmpeg2-4,
may be you can remove it, to accomplish compiling of vxl. ?
Just temporarily, you can install it again, if needed for
other things.
....

Also remember, vxl should be compiled "with shared libraries" :
Quote : Important: in vxl's ccmake, set BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to ON.
( " -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON " )
....

May be you already observed this : Building vxl without
libmpeg2-4 support, vxl is building a libmpeg2.so !
( /usr/bin/cmake ../vxl-1.11.0 -DBUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=OFF \
-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=OFF \
-DVXL_USE_LFS:BOOL=ON )
