[FFmpeg-devel] Install from Source on CentOS 7

[Larry Apolonio]

All,

I am trying to compile ffmpeg with x265 libs

Details of how I did it are here (without the x265 support)

https://www.apolonio.com/node/138

but I get an error when I add x265.

ERROR: x265 not found using pkg-config

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user at ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this 
will help
solve the problem.

Here is the tail end of the config.log file

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `x265.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

ERROR: x265 not found using pkg-config

What is not in the document is how I installed x265, here is what I did

cd ~/src/ffmpeg

git clone https://github.com/videolan/x265.git

cd x265/build

cmake ../source/

make

sudo make install

It seems to install fine, I can run the command x265, and it did run 
ldconfig prior to compiling ffmpeg, but I still get the error.

If I remove --enable-libx265 from the ./configure command, it does 
complete with the following warnings

WARNING: using libx264 without pkg-config
WARNING: Building with deprecated library libavresample

and I am able to make and sudo make install ffmpeg and it does what 
transcode some files like I need it to.

Any thoughts, pointers, is there more information I can provide?

Thanks,

Larry Apolonio
