3.2.11 on opensuse11.1 won't compile

Question

Dear Developers,

I tried to install 3.2.11 on opensuse 11.1 and 10.3 (32bit) (had 3.2.10 up and running on 10.3 about a year ago). It won't compile.

(I understand the mpeg1 problem.)

I switched back to 10.3 to figure out the problem with 11.1, but I had the same results.

What is missing ? I just don't get it, after all, configure gives me a thumbs up (see verbatim text).

I spend the whole day (re-)reading the documentation, but I can't figure it out.

ffmpeg-0.4.9.16438svn-20090105.pm.1938.i586.rpm

is the ffmpeg package installed.

Best Regards

daniel

Answer

You missed read release notes :

- http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ReleaseNoteMotion3x2x11

Allow to compile with Opensuse ffmpeg-0.4.9.15594svn-20081010. Get http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/pub/Motion/ReleaseNoteMotion3x2x11/ffmpeg-0.4.9.15594svn-20081010.diff

This is valid for your current ffmpeg version too.
