Thanks for the reply .

I tried with static builds for libx264 . I edited the build script for
libx264 and added options --enable -static , --disable -shared . After
running the script I got libx264.a at /usr/local/lib x264(executable file)
at /usr/local/bin and x_264.h and x_264_config.h at /usr/local/include .

I modified my ffmpeg script by adding --extra-cflags='-I/usr/local/'
--extra-ldflags='-I/usr/local/x264 -L/usr/local/ -ldl' .

But still I'm getting the error .
