You must have x264 installed in your system (be it from package or by 
compiling themselves).
Then you do "./configure" and after that check your "configure.log" for 
x264 inclusion (section "============ Checking for x264 ============").

PS: you could also write configure stdout to file and check it a faster 
way: "./configure --disable-runtime-cpudetection --enable-gui 
--enable-menu --enable-largefiles 2>&1 | tee configure.stdout" then 
browse "configure.stdout" and search against "Checking for x264 ... yes 
(in libavcodec: yes)"
