Thank you. Before changing all the ffmpeg dependencies to shared libraries, I tried making a static fontconfig. I removed the packaged fontconfig parts and built my own static fontconfig, but got the same “fontconfig not found" error. There is no .so file on the system with *fontconfig* in its name. The relevant files may be: /usr/local/ffmpeg/target/include/fontconfig/fontconfig.h /usr/local/ffmpeg/target/lib/libfontconfig.la /usr/local/ffmpeg/target/lib/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc /usr/local/ffmpeg/target/lib/libfontconfig.a fontconfig.pc contains: # cat /usr/local/ffmpeg/target/lib/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc prefix=/usr/local/ffmpeg/target exec_prefix=${prefix} libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib includedir=${prefix}/include sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc localstatedir=${prefix}/var PACKAGE=fontconfig confdir=${sysconfdir}/fonts cachedir=${localstatedir}/cache/${PACKAGE} Name: Fontconfig Description: Font configuration and customization library Version: 2.15.0 Requires: freetype2 >= 21.0.15 Requires.private: libxml-2.0 >= 2.6 Libs: -L${libdir} -lfontconfig Libs.private: Cflags: -I${includedir} fontconfig.pc seems to be pointing to the right places (except sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc doesn’t exist; I don’t know what it would be looking for there). I’m perplexed. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
