checking avi.h presence... no checking for avi.h... no configure: Using system-installed FFMpeg code configure: WARNING: ====================================================================== WARNING: you have chosen to build gst-ffmpeg against a random external version of ffmpeg instead of building it against the tested internal ffmpeg snapshot that is included with gst-ffmpeg. This is a very bad idea. So bad in fact that words cannot express just how bad it is. Suffice to say that it is BAD. The GStreamer developers cannot and will not support a gst-ffmpeg built this way. Any bug reports that indicate there is an external version of ffmpeg involved will be closed immediately without further investigation. The reason such a setup can't be supported is that the ffmpeg API and ABI is in constant flux, yet there aren't any official releases of the ffmpeg library to develop against. This makes it impossible to guarantee that gst-ffmpeg will work reliably, or even compile, with a randomly picked version ffmpeg. Even if gst-ffmpeg compiles and superficially appears to work fine against your chosen external ffmpeg version, that might just not be the case on other systems, or even the same system at a later time, or when using decoders, encoders, demuxers or muxers that have not been tested. Please do not create or distribute binary packages of gst-ffmpeg that link against an external ffmpeg. Thank you! ====================================================================== configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating gst-ffmpeg.spec
