[Ffmpeg-devel] Bug problem and solution for the x264 library

[Fernando Lopez Hernandez]

Hello, I have discovered that if you activate H.264 (--enable-x264) this 
library require pthreads but are not linked by default:

$ ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-x264
ERROR: x264 not found
If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the 
latest version from SVN.  If the latest version fails, report the 
problem to the ffmpeg-devel at mplayerhq.hu mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on 
irc.freenode.net. Include the log file "config.err" produced by 
configure as this will help solving the problem.

The solution is to activate --enable-pthreads:

$ ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-x264 --enable-pthreads

Can someone change the configure to avoid this problem to other users?

Greetings: Fernando
