Missing headers required to compile ffmpegthumbnailer about ffmpegthumbnailer HOT 13 CLOSED

It appears you don't have the development files for libjpeg installed. 
Configure can
not find the jpeglib.h file in your include path.

Sorry to sound like an idiot but... the file jpeglib.h is in this directory on 
my computer... /sw/include/

How do I modify the ./configure command to look there for this file...

Try this:

./configure --includedir=/sw/include

This also happened to me. (Mac OS X 10.5.6) All dependencies installed with 
fink.
(libjpeg 6b-17)

./configure --includedir=/sw/include

Still results in:

checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes
checking for inttypes.h... (cached) yes
checking for sys/stat.h... (cached) yes
checking jpeglib.h usability... no
checking jpeglib.h presence... no
checking for jpeglib.h... no
configure: error: Missing headers required to compile ffmpegthumbnailer

Make sure jpeglib.h is in your include directory

It is:

/sw/include/jpeglib.h

Well, this beats me. If the file is there and you supply the include path it 
should
definitely find it. Permission issue? 

I do not think so;

sudo ./configure --includedir=/sw/include

also fails.

Use macports and install libpng and make sure you have ffmpeg installed with 
the appropriate variants (gpl, 
lame, x264, xvid, avfilter).

I have installed all of these things using fink.  I do not use macports.

I found that this helped a lot when I was banging my head against a wall with 
this...

I haven't tried the suggested flags through the fink installation but instead 
of /opt/local/ using sw/ should work, 
all the packages are there.

I got it to work with the following;

svn checkout http://ffmpegthumbnailer.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ 
ffmpegthumbnailer; cd
ffmpegthumbnailer; ./autogen.sh; env CPPFLAGS='-I/sw/include' 
LDFLAGS='-L/sw/lib'
PKG_CONFIG='/sw/bin/pkg-config' PKG_CONFIG_PATH='/sw/lib/pkgconfig' ./configure;
make; sudo make install

You do have to be careful that you have the correct dev packages installed or 
it will
tell you that you do not have ffmpeg.
