as i mentioned earlier i'm trying to compile version 1.0.* (for dvdrip) I'm on a virgin Fedora Core 5 system, where i haven't screwed around with pkg-config at all (documentation mentions that the --with-$$$-* option does not override pkg-config... i don't know where to begin to check for issues here)
i got the latest svn copy of ffmpeg and recompiled it with the options required by transcode, within two hours of this group post of mine. the transcode cvs 1.0 branch complains about missing ffmpeg/avcodec.h at the end of ./configure (same with the 1.0.2 downloadable tarball) however, the 1.1.0-cvs version configures fine, with the same exact ./configure options. But dvdrip has a maximum transcode version, so the latter won't do for it. did someone mention a patch for this recently? I couldn't find patches on the website, and wouldn't the latest CVS be free of known bugs? I'm totally stumped. One more thing - i thought it might be the apparently more strict SELinux rules on FC 5, but the permission changes i made don't seem to help (although i'm not ruling out SELinux for sure) ]# locate avcodec.h /usr/local/include/ffmpeg/avcodec.h (among other instances) ./configure options used for the above success and failure: ./configure --enable-libavcodec --with-libavcodec-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-libavcodec-includes=/usr/local/include --with-libquicktime-includes=/usr/local/include/lqt --enable-v4l --enable-libdvdread --enable-libquicktime --enable-a52 --enable-a52-default-decoder --enable-lame --with-lame-includes=/usr/local/include --with-lame-prefix=/usr/local/bin --with-lame-libs=/usr/local/lib --enable-gtk --enable-sdl --enable-X --enable-imagemagick --enable-oss --enable-libpostproc --enable-freetype2 --enable-ogg --enable-libdv --enable-mjpegtools --enable-netstream --with-libpostproc-includes=/data/installers/svn/ffmpeg/libpostproc --with-mjpegtools-includes=/usr/local/include/mjpegtools andrew - --
