<div dir="ltr">I got a really helpful advice from Rémi Denis-Courmont at VLC forums thread - <a href="https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=137096">https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=137096</a><br><br> Make sure that "pkg-config --modversion libavcodec" works.<br> If not, then FFmpeg is essentially not installed.<br><br>This command gave me the following error message:<br><br> Package libavcodec was not found in the pkg-config search path.<br> Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libavcodec.pc'<br> to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable<br> No package 'libavcodec' found<br><br>Checked my PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable - it was empty :<br><br> echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH<br><br>Then I searched at /usr directory for libavcodec.pc , and found it:<br><br> find /usr -name "libav*.pc"<br> /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libavutil.pc<br> /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libavcodec.pc<br> /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libavfilter.pc<br> /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libavformat.pc<br> /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libavdevice.pc<br> /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libavresample.pc<br> /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libavc1394.pc<br><br>Now all I needed to do is to add these path: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ , and also /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/ just in case, to PKG_CONFIG_PATH (could be done through bashrc or any other way). After that, "pkg-config --modversion libavcodec" outputs a version number of libavcodec instead of error, and vlc could be configured and built without any problems! ^_^<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2017-01-17 3:09 GMT-05:00 qma ster <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:qmastery16@gmail.com" target="_blank">qmastery16@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">"tried again", it still does not work.
