./configure issue? about ssr HOT 3 CLOSED

Try:

export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
./configure

You will need more than just the configure script though, it's better to modify ./simple-build-and-install instead. CPPFLAGS is there already, so make sure you add -I/usr/local/include instead of overriding the existing options. You should get this:

export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -DNDEBUG -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DSSR_USE_FFMPEG_VERSIONS=$SSR_USE_FFMPEG_VERSIONS -DSSR_USE_X86_ASM=$SSR_USE_X86_ASM"
export CFLAGS="-Wall -O2 -pipe"
export CXXFLAGS="-Wall -O2 -pipe"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"

I haven't tried this though, and I'm fairly new to autoconf/automake.

There's also some references to /usr/include/libavcodec/avcodec.h in simple-build-and-install, so you will have to replace those too.

Even if you can get this to work, there may be other issues. ffmpeg/libav is the biggest problem for older distributions, but qt may also need updating (less likely though). I've tried supporting older versions of ffmpeg/libav but it is just too much work and too buggy. I'm supporting Ubuntu 12.04 and higher only at the moment for this reason.

It may be easier to just upgrade to 12.04 or 13.04 :).

Well, I tried everything you suggested with no success. Somehow the configure script is referencing the wrong library and/or header. I guess the best solution is to just upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu.

Thanks for the help!

I'm pretty sure that even if you could include and link ffmpeg/libav, you would still not be able to compile it with the version of GCC in Ubuntu 10.04, because I'm using some C++11 features that weren't implemented back then (AFAIK).
