Linux compile problems with VLC and ffmpeg

Postby knald » 25 Nov 2003 22:10

I get errors when trying to compile vlc. I have compiled ffmpeg with the following options:
./configure --prefix=/opt/ffmpeg-0.4.8/ --enable-mp3lame --enable-vorbis --enable-faad --enable-a52 --enable-shared --enable-pp
make
make install

And when trying to compile vlc with following options:
./configure --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-tree=/opt/src/ffmpeg-0.4.8
the "make" fails with the follwing exit code:
ffmpeg.c: In function `InitThread':
ffmpeg.c:300: error: parse error before "LIBAVCODEC_BUILD_STR"
make[6]: *** [libffmpeg_a-ffmpeg.o] Error 1
make[6]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/vlc-0.6.2/modules/codec/ffmpeg'
make[5]: *** [all-ffmpeg] Error 1
make[5]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/vlc-0.6.2/modules/codec/ffmpeg'
make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[3]: *** [all] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/vlc-0.6.2/modules/codec'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/vlc-0.6.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Has anyone got any ideas??? I am kind of lost on this :/

I have also tried to use the --enable-pp switch for vlc, as I read was recommended another place. Does that make any difference in this respect?
Best Regards!
