[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Upgrade qt-faststart to keep users from hurting themselves

[Mike Melanson]

The attached patch checks for the presence of -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H on the 
command line when compiling qt-faststart. This is a front-line defense 
against users attempting to manually compile it and getting it wrong 
most of the time (binary builds but runs incorrectly on 64-bit systems).

I tried to be genuinely helpful with the message:

error: #error Do not compile qt-faststart manually. After configuring 
FFmpeg, run 'make tools/qt-faststart'.

I chose to check HAVE_AV_CONFIG_H because that option seems to always be 
there when the build system is in charge. I think this should solve most 
mysterious bug reports related to qt-faststart.
