Hi all

I'm try to compile ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1 on FC6 - as usual, compiling it worked 100% fine on FC3...

I get the following error after ./configure and make:

[rylan@StefanLinux ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1]$ make
make -C libavcodec all
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/rylan/ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1/libavcodec'

Any ideas how I can fix this and get ffmpeg to compile?

Thanks!

When you did ./configure - were the last few lines like this:Do a make clean before the ./configure step.

Why not install ffmpeg via yum?
(I think it is livna repo. Use the yum.conf from www.fedorafaq.org)
# yum install ffmpeg

try the cvs version and see if someone has fixed it.
the gcc people have this crazy idea we shoud write code thats actually valid. (roll eyes)

Hi studioj

Thanks, I'll see if I can give it a whirl. I did manage to get MPlayer / Mencoder compiled and working in the meantime though, so this has slipped a bit as regards priority.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Regards,
