CMake Error at cmake/FindFFmpeg.cmake:17 (MESSAGE):
Could not find avcodec
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:110 (FINDFFMPEG)


-- Configuring done

Clearly it isn't finding avcodec. CMakeLists.txt line 110 is:
FINDFFMPEG("ffmpeg/avcodec.h" "avcodec")

clearly it isnt finding avcodec.h. Yet it is installed!
# locate avcodec.h
/usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h


Anyone care to help? I have no idea whats going on here.

I would suggest it is not finding the -devel version of ffmpeg, that is the header files for ffmpeg, not libavcodec.

You may have ffmpeg installed, but many distros fail to install the develement files, headers etc with the package, but packages this as an extra option such as ffmpeg-devel

Hope this helps

I have ffmpeg, libffmpeg-devel, libffmpeg-static-devel, libffmpegthumbnailer-devel, libwxsvg-devel and libavifile0.7-devel all installed.

Yeah thats what i thought. I got nothing either!
