[Libav-user] How to compile dev from source

[Peter Kroon]

Hello,

AS mentiond in the first post I used this install guide for CentOS:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Centos
I followed the path/steps written in the article.

First I've added --enable-shared to the configure command. This did not
gave the result I was looking for.
--disable-static and  --enable-shared were needed.
This allowed me to compile the program below with gcc -g test.c -o test -W
-Wall -Wextra -Werror -pedantic

=================================================================
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <libavutil/imgutils.h>
#include <libavutil/samplefmt.h>
#include <libavutil/timestamp.h>
#include <libavformat/avformat.h>
int main()
{
 printf("The echo..n\");
 return 0;
}
=================================================================

However, when I added av_register_all(); the program would not compile.
To solve this I ran the code below in console.

=================================================================
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/root/ffmpeg_build/include
export C_INCLUDE_PATH
#debug
echo $C_INCLUDE_PATH
LIBRARY_PATH=/root/ffmpeg_build/lib
export LIBRARY_PATH
#debug
echo $LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/ffmpeg_build/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
#debug
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
=================================================================

Now add av_register_all(); above the printf and I was able to compile the
program with:
gcc -g test.c -o test -W -Wall -Wextra -Werror -pedantic -lavcodec
-lavformat -lavutil

And the example programs compiled as well.
