FFMPEG: FFPLAY binary not getting generated on compilation
ffmpeg, video
Solution
In ubuntu 13.04, this is howto install libsdl-dev:
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev # 16.04 and up https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu
One way to check if the dev-package is installed is to see if the following binary is installed:
$ which sdl-config
/usr/bin/sdl-config
And, consider to use the official git-repo:
git clone git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg
Problem
I have downloaded FFMPEG with FFPLAY enabled code from: https://github.com/cus/ffplay I use the following command to configure and make the package: ``` ./configure --enable-ffplay make ``` Here it shows that: `SDL support no` as one of the outputs. But i have sdl packages installed in my system. However, the packages created are: ``` ffmpeg ffmpeg_g ffserver ffserver_g ffprobe ffprobe_g ``` I have referred this post : http://ffmpeg-users.933282.n4.nabble.com/Compiling-FFMPEG-with-ffplay-support-td3414041.html But this didn't help out. I checked my config.log, it has the below lines: ``` ffplay='yes' ffplay_deps='avcodec avformat swscale swresample sdl' ffplay_select='rdft crop_filter' ``` I have the sdl packages installed in my system. What is the issue actually. Could anyone please guide me through this.
