VLC-2.1.5 will not link against latest ffmpeg

[christopher]

Hello,

With the latest version of ffmpeg vlc will not compile against it as the avcodec that is included in ffmpeg is currently unsupported.

Until there is a newer version of vlc the --disable-avcodec must be used so that it can be compiled. I think that it needs to be mentioned somewhere on the vlc page, as we do have ffmpeg as recommended and it only says to disable-avcodec if ffmpeg is not installed.

Trunk contains the following sed:

sed "s:< 56:< 57:g" -i configure

Works for me.

I can't confirm this with ffmpeg-2.4.3.

Not just trunk DICKHEAD.

In this case it was MY script missing the sed and not the published instructions. I missed checking in it before compiling as I am checking every package does build and where I can due to hardware actually works.

Strange, it was filled under "BOOK" component rather than "systemd". If you feel the issue is valid, reopen the ticket against the correct book. Try to keep foul language out of this community.
