those are instructions for building FFMPEG from source, not GRASS.
I don't know why the wiki page bothers with that, why not just
"apt-get install ffmpeg libavcodec-dev" etc?

These isntructions are not valid anymore. Back then, for Ubuntu 7.10,
the ffmpeg packages available from the repositories were not enough or
did not work (don't remember exactly). I' ve found notes on how to get
ffmpeg from source-code and it worked (support for FFMPEG: Yes).

Note that currently (=Jaunty) ffmpeg seems to be broken(!?) again or I
am missing a package which I can't trace (looked using apt-file find).

Cheers, Nikos

I worked for me without compiling ffmpeg. But I am not using GRASS to create
films.

Let's mutually update the wiki next week.

Oh... nice :slight_smile: Last week I failed to get ffmpeg support. Seems with
latest jaunty-updates something has been fixed/changed !?

Let's mutually update the wiki next week.

Given some free-time, I propose to set-up a new section for Jaunty and
either leave as is the section for Ubuntu 7.10 or remove completely.

Kindest regards, Nikos

Sorry Timmie, it does not work for me.

The configuration can't find

---%<---
configure: error: *** FFMPEG includes directory /usr/include/ffmpeg/
does not exist.
---%<---

Could you please tell me if you had to install some extra packages from
the repositories?

Kind regards, Nikos

Do you use Ubuntu Jaunty 64-bit?
Thanks, Nikos
