Compiling FFMPEG Manually

mindrunner · 06-07-2007, 06:42 PM

Hi,

Has anyone here compiled FFMpeg manually before?
Basically i want to compile ffmpeg with some of its dependencies in a particular location. .eg. /opt/apps.

when i compile its optional libraries like faac, there's no problem.
Everything is put into /opt/apps, including the header files (/opt/apps/include).

But I cant seem to get ffmpeg to detect them.
I tried configure --help in ffmpeg, but i cant seem to find a solution for this.

Anyone experienced this before ?

yes it's very confusing
try

Code:

-–extra-ldflags=-L/opt/apps/lib \
--extra-cflags=-I/opt/apps/include

Thanks studioj.
I just googled a similiar solution from the following link.
Ironically, its about compiling FFmpeg for windows (even though it uses MinGW32)
