Hello,

Thank you very much for your inputs. 
When I don't use --disable-yasm option, I got tons of errors just because the yasm version that we are using in openembedded is quite old and ffmpeg requires a newer version of yasm. Updating yasm is fairly easy but then I got multiple of tons of different errors due to compatibility issues between different packages that are used in openembedded. 
I guess there is no option except updating the whole openembedded which is way beyond my knowledge.

Thanks a lot.
Regards,
