compiler erros

vlc says it wants ffmpeg. I downloaded 0.4.8 from ffmpeg.sf.net and everything compiled fine. I think it only installed two programs, ffmpeg and ffserver.
are there some development packages I'm missing?

You need to build ffmpeg with --enable-pp
Then, put --with-ffmpeg-tree=/absolute/path/to/ffmpeg/source/tree in the configure line of vlc
(Actually, installing ffmpeg is not useful for vlc)
compile errors

I get errors when trying to compile vlc as well. 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[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2
Has anyone got any ideas about this?
Best regards!

This isn't VLC from CVS.
the ffmpeg folks removed something from 0.4.8, which prevents VLC from compiling succesfully. either use an older ffmpeg version, or a newer VLC.

Hi
Thank you very much. VLC now compiles since I tried downloading the CVS version.

on the dev page at the bottom shows libs:
http://developers.videolan.org/vlc/
and a page of lib packages:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/contrib/
and then some vlc external libs full packages for cygwin or mingw or something:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/win32/
