Need help compiling for Win32 on Ubuntu

Postby davecove » 23 Jan 2015 23:35

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 to compile VLC (fresh git) for Win32 by following the directions on this page: https://wiki.videolan.org/Win32Compile/

During the ../extras/package/win32/configure.sh step I get the following error

Code: Select all

checking for AVCODEC... no configure: error: No package 'libavcodec' found No package 'libavutil' found. Pass --disable-avcodec to ignore this error.
I can't imagine that I would want to disable avcodec so could someone help me resolve this error? I'm not sure what package to add since:

Code: Select all

dave@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libavcodec [sudo] password for dave: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package libavcodec dave@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libavutil Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package libavutil
