[FFmpeg-user] FFMPEG SOURCE BUILD QUESTION

[S Kilian]

Make sure you have gcc and yasm installed first.
 
tar xvf ffmpeg-linux64-20121206.tar.bz2 
cd ffmpeg-linux64-20121206
./configure
make
<<< check to see executable was built eg: ls -l ffmpeg >>>
<<< at this point you can see if the binary executes eg: ./ffmpeg >>>
sodo make install
