After integrating your source, run
./configure --list-filters
to see whether the filter of that name is found.

Then, re-run ./configure. When done, it will show you a summary of all
features it will build - binaries, formats, filters, ... Check that
list of filters first. Otherwise you need not even bother to build.

After running make, you can check the availability of the filter by
running
./ffmpeg -filters | grep foobar

Then tell us where along that chain of commands your filter got lost.

BTW, I consider this a question for the ffmpeg-users list, not
ffmpeg-devel. But it might also fit onto libav-user. Or none of the
three. ;-)
