[FFmpeg-devel] Fix libx264

[Felipe Contreras]

Hi,

I'm getting this error when trying to build with --enable-libx264:
---

Apparently this only happens when libx264 is built statically. In any
case, the solution is to add -lpthread.

But would we add other dependencies each time they change them?
Wouldn't it be easier to just use pkg-config?

I proposed that some time ago:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2009-November/078801.html

Anyway, even when I manage to compile and install it, I get this run-time error:
[libx264 @ 0x8117a40]broken ffmpeg default settings detected
[libx264 @ 0x8117a40]use an encoding preset (vpre)

Apparently '-vpre default' does the trick. But why isn't 'default' the default?

Cheers.
