[MPlayer-users] ffmpeg.c:3850: error: syntax error before 'FFMPEG_CONFIGURATION' , missing indication of what is wrong ?

[Tobias Gerschner]

Hi,

I spent quite some time today getting a recent version of ffmpeg
compiled. I tried r6555 and r6555 straight from svn. Though without
luck

At the bottom you see the error I got . I looked through your list and
also looked through the revisions to find a further indication of what
I did wrong. No luck though.

Below a compilation of the information you request:

The only solution was commenting out the offending line , which of
course is not the right way. So please tell me where I am heading
wrong. I tried to be really conservative with tweaking. Just to be on
the safe side:

export CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/faad2 -I/usr/X11R6/include"
./configure --prefix=%{_prefix} --libdir=%{_libdir}
--mandir=%{_mandir} --incdir=%{_includedir}/ffmpeg \
    --enable-mp3lame --enable-libogg --enable-vorbis --enable-faad
--enable-faac --enable-xvid \
    --enable-a52 --enable-a52bin --enable-pp \
    --enable-shared --enable-gpl --disable-strip --disable-mmx

I played around with the switches back and forth , though it always
fails at latest at this point.

Any help welcome.

regards
