i downloaded ffmpeg-20040520
from videolan.org after configuring with the same options
i got a similar result.
/video/ffmpeg-20040220/# make
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 12: Unexpected end of line seen
always the same error .
i don't understand i tried many options
i'm stuck for a long time
i'm running sol9 sparc
before i did configure --enable-pp --enable-gpl --enable-shared
