CentOS and FFMPEG question

[Craz]

Been messing with this for a few days now... but anyways... FFMPEG installed via SVN. CentOS 5.6.

Seeing DEPRECATED messages after:

cd /usr/src
svn checkout -r r26402 svn://svn.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-pthreads --enable-pic --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-libmp3lame --enable-nonfree --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb --enable-libvorbis --disable-mmx --enable-shared --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-libfaac

and even more messages after:

make

Either way.. I see FFMPEG in PHPinfo. But certain conversions are not working...

More concerned with "Why?" deprecated packages are compiled ?? I could be wrong.. but why not do this correctly ??? (Not that I know what correct would be) but why Deprecated ??

Anyone know ??

Some errors I see ---

Use -h to get full help or, even better, run 'man ffmpeg'

Am concerned with the "WARNING: library configuration mismatch". I realize in some instances this is NOT a problem.. but what if and when is it ?? Why not correct this and how ??

Any ideas on how to clear this up will leave me with a few hairs on my head left.. along with great appreciation.

Thanks to all !!

Why not install with the yum package manager? I usually try to use the pre-built versions that way, though sometimes I've built ffmpeg manually in order to get some optional capabilities. When you do that, you have to pay attention to the options you specify to the configure script.

As for the "library configuration mismatch" warning, it is likely that one of the installed libraries that ffmpeg is using is out of date compared to the ffmpeg source code. As to which, a quick glance at your output doesn't say much, so I don't know.

Was hoping someone has run accross this and had a quick fix... whoever doesnt want it the easy way...

Thought about just rolling back FFMPEG to the next revision or something.

Just wasnt wanting to truely need to do that...

As mentioned, I have built ffmpeg manually on a number of systems, and sometimes it is not easy to do. I've had to make sure that the prefix was not set to /usr (default is /usr/local which may be ok), and then I had to build the appropriate set of support libraries w/ development options that were not in sync with my operating system, installing them in /usr/local, and then add configuration options to ffmpeg to get library and headers from /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include, and then modify my LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment, before I was able to get ffmpeg to build/link/run. Not an exercise for the faint-of-heart...

This is why I prefer to get ffmpeg from the standard system repositories. Much less fuss, and even if it isn't the latest and greatest, it will work.
