[vlc-devel] building the VLC for debian Linux

[Shahrokh Sheik-El-Ameh (AH/LMD)]

I try to build the VLC for debian Linux, from its source code.

running the "configure" script results in a missing header file error:


vlc-0.8.0-test1#./configure --enable-gnome 
.............................
checking for ffmpeg-config...  no
checking  ffmpeg/avcodec.h  usability... no
checking  ffmpeg/avcodec.h  presence... no
checking for ffmpeg/avcodec.h... no
configure: error:  Missing header file  ffmpeg/avcodec.h

vlc-0.8.0-test1#



the header file is placed in:
vlc-0.8.0-test1/extras/ffmpeg/libavcodec/avcodec.h

any idea, how to fix the error?

regards
Shahrokh
