Error: libfdk_aac must be installed
ffmpeg, macos
Solution
First try
brew install fdk-aac
Failing that you can compile like I do
git clone git://github.com/mstorsjo/fdk-aac

Problem
Hi I am trying to compile ffmpeg but this error shows: ``` ☁ ffmpeg [master] ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree \ --enable-postproc --enable-libass \ --enable-libfaac --enable-nonfree --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype \ --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopencore-amrnb \ --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libopenjpeg \ --enable-openssl --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libtheora \ --enable-libvo-aacenc --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx \ --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --prefix=/usr Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 ERROR: libfdk_aac must be installed and version must be >= 3.4.12. If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net. Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help solving the problem. ``` I am simply following this compilation guide: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/MacOSXCompilationGuide
