ffmpegthumbnailer - ./configure fails

Aloha!

I want to add an extra thumbnail feature to mediatomb for my PS3 but it requires ffmpegthumbnailer. Well, I thought I've installed all necessary requirements for ffmpegthumbnailer but when I start the configure-script it stops with the message:

...
checking jpeglib.h usability... yes
checking jpeglib.h presence... yes
checking for jpeglib.h... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for FFMPEG... no
configure: error: +Could not find ffmpeg. Please update PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point at location of ffmpeg pkgconfig files directory.

ffmpeg ist installed so what does this message mean?

I've add the configure.log here.
System: Debian Etch 2.6.26

Thanks in advance
OK

That ffmpeg isn't installed.

your going to need it. install ffmpeg first then try again.

It looks like ffmpeg, it's listed as ffmpeg and it works like ffmpeg. What could it be? Sorry, but when I wrote it's installed, then I don't expect an answer like yours.

No harm meant! ;)
OK

perhaps configure just can't find it. post the output of 'which ffmpeg'

Hi eniot.

I'm answering here because (WTF) I can't find the private message menu to reply to you. (rofl)

No, I didn't resolve this problem yet.

You have to install the development ffmpeg files (headers and libraries). In Debian these are splitted in 4 different packages: libavutil-dev, libavcodec-dev, libswscale-dev and libavformat-dev. You can see these requirements also in the config.log:

Code:

configure:16027: $? = 1

No package 'libavutil' found

No package 'libavformat' found

No package 'libavcodec' found

No package 'libswscale' found

configure:16054: result: no

configure:16056: error:  +Could not find ffmpeg. Please update

PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point at location of ffmpeg pkgconfig files directory.

Thanks for your help. I've added the missing packages but now it seems that ffmpegthumbnailer requires older versions of these packages than installed. (???)

PHP Code:




configure:16001: checking for FFMPEG 
configure:16008: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libavutil libavformat libavcodec libswscale" 
Package 'libswscale' requires 'libavutil = 49.4.0' but version of libavutil is 49.10.0 
configure:16011: $? = 1 
configure:16024: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libavutil libavformat libavcodec libswscale" 
Package 'libswscale' requires 'libavutil = 49.4.0' but version of libavutil is 49.10.0 
configure:16027: $? = 1 
Package 'libswscale' requires 'libavutil = 49.4.0' but version of libavutil is 49.10.0 
configure:16054: result: no 
configure:16056: error:  +Could not find ffmpeg. Please update PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point at location of ffmpeg pkgconfig files directory.
