I think the problem arrives when the pkg-config couldn't find the libavcodec and libavutils
The installed libavcodec & libavutils must be in a directory that system don't know.
possibly check the /usr/local/lib folder for existence of libavcodec & libavutils.
If it is there then first thing to do is try this command.

Code: Select all

# ld-config -v | grep av

if you get output like

Code: Select all

libavdevice.so.52 -> libavdevice.so.52.1.0 libavutil.so.49 -> libavutil.so.49.15.0 libavformat.so.52 -> libavformat.so.52.31.0 libavcodec.so.52 -> libavcodec.so.52.20.0

then at least ldconfig knows about it if not then you probabily want to add /usr/local/lib to your ld-conf paths to do so
do this with super user permissions

Code: Select all

# echo /usr/local/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/avcode.conf

and after that with super user permissions do just

Code: Select all

# ldconfig

that will update the lib cache file.
But this is not enough to make pkg-config work
you probably have to export a env too before compiling vlc.
try this before doing ./configure in vlc source dir

Code: Select all

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

But assuming your libav* files are in /usr/local/lib dir.

This is what I need to get it working.
Hope this helps.

Kapil.
