[x264-devel] new to x264 and ffmpeg

[Michael Miller]

I'm new to x264 and ffmpeg, so please direct me to an alternate support source if appropriate.

Today, I downloaded and tried to compile x264 for use with ffmpeg and got the following:

x264]$ ./configure --enable-shared 
x264]$ make

Please let me know what should be done about this error.
