VLS compile error

[Knallerten]

Hi am trying to compile VLS CVS version with the following options:
./configure --enable-v4l --with-ffmpeg=/opt/src/ffmpeg-0.4.8

but when doing the "make" it fails with the following exit code:
ps/v4lreader_la-v4lreader.Tpo -c v4lreader.cpp -o v4lreader_la-v4lreader.o
v4lreader.cpp:60:35: avcodec.h: No such file or directory
v4lreader.cpp: In member function `virtual void C_v4lMpegReader::Init()':

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Has anyone got any idea for the reasons for this?

Thanx in advance.

Best Regards.......

ffmpeg tends not to install all its headers on make install... That could be the trick in my opinion...

I ran in to this same error myself. The solution? Edit the file src/modules/v4lreader/v4lreader.cpp and change line 60 from
#include <avcodec.h> //for palette
to
#include <ffmpeg/avcodec.h> //for palette

That worked fine for me since Gentoo that i am using puts ffmpegs .h files in /usr/include/ffmpeg

Hope that helps

Edit the file src/modules/v4lreader/v4lreader.cpp and change line 60 from
#include <avcodec.h> //for palette
to
#include <ffmpeg/avcodec.h> //for palette

And make sure you have compiled ffmpeg with the ...

--enable-shared --enable-gpl
... options


Otherwise several headers are not placed in the /usr/include/ffmpeg directory.
