===================================================

ffmpeg is version ffmpeg_3:0.cvs20060823-3.1ubuntu1_i386

I've installed libavcodec, libavifile, libavformat and libpostproc dev files.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

ps: thanks also for the quick response to previous issue.

You also need libswscale. Do you have it installed?

Hey, sorry for the delay.

Can't find a package for libswscale in ubuntu 6.10.  I thought it was part of 
the
ffmpeg package, no?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Can you check if libswscale.so is located in /usr/lib (or whatever your lib 
directory is)

Original comment by dirk.vdb on 17 Jul 2007 at 3:50

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It's nowhere.  Played updatedb, then locate. No package available in synaptic, 
and
all the packages I can find on the web seem to be for gutsy.  Any suggestions? 
Shouldn't it be part of ffmpeg?

try changing this line in configure.ac

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(  FFMPEG, libavutil libavformat libavcodec libswscale, 
HAVE_FFMPEG=yes, 

into

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(  FFMPEG, libavutil libavformat libavcodec, HAVE_FFMPEG=yes, 

and see what happens.

Do you have any of these libraries installed on your system?
libavutil.so libavformat.so libavcodec.so libswscale.so

Maybe try installing a newer version of ffmpeg, your version is pretty old.

I'll verify this. I have kubuntu feisty with xfce (Yeah, xfce on kubuntu)

I got it working by checking out the newest ffmpeg, compiling it, installing 
it, and 
then compiling this project.

svn checkout http://ffmpegthumbnailer.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ 
ffmpegthumbnailer
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ../ffmpegthumbnailer
./autogen.sh
./configure 

Hopefully it works this time...

I've dropped that machine, and I'm migrating back to GNOME on another, faster 
laptop.
 I hope you can find what made it so difficult, though.  I like XFCE and Thunar, but
it's getting a little heavy with the latest versions.  Your plugin really ought 
to be
included as part of the distribution, nonetheless.

Honestly, I believe that this problem is pretty much ubuntu's fault. They are 
the 
ones that packaged up ffmpeg without libswscale, and I believe that has been 
our 
whole problem.

Oh, and I agree about the xfce integration thing. This is one cool little tool.

Sorry but it is not an ubuntu problem. I am using dreamlinux (debian based 
thought)
and got the same problem. ffmpeg is installed but gives me the same error. The
libswscale is also hard to find. It's not on the stable repositories, only on 
testing
ones.

The worse is that i screwed up my pkg-config exporting thousands of 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH
to it while trying to compile the ffmpegthumbnailer. What a mess...

Fedora Core 5 has the same problem with the ffmpeg RPMs from Livna.  Modifying 
the
configure.ac as described above and re-running autoconf fixed the problem for 
me and
it compiled properly.

U just need to install libavutil-dev, libavformat-dev, libavcodec-dev,
libswscale-dev. No hacks needed. 
Sory fore bade eangleasche :-)

This problem is distribution specific and not related to ffmpegthumbnailer, so 
I'll
close it

Original comment by dirk.vdb on 5 Apr 2008 at 6:17

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The problem is not with distributions. Downloading, configuring, installing 
ffmpeg
does not install libswscale  .. but if you go to the libswscale dir in ffmpeg, 
run
make and make install it will work.

Brunis

The problem shows up on fedora core 11 as well.
Easily fixed by:
yum install ffmpeg-devel

Same problem, on CentOS release 5.

Ffmpeg was compiled from source code, because of special features (not 
installed from
yum, pkg-config doesn't know nothing about ffmpeg and lib, and corresponding 
*.pc
files for pkg-config do not exists, so pkg-config checkings are not working).

# which ffmpeg
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

All libs in /usr/local/lib
# ls -la libav* libsw*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20221184 Feb  3 16:19 libavcodec.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   220790 Feb  3 16:19 libavdevice.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  6307976 Feb  3 16:19 libavformat.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   215280 Feb  3 16:19 libavutil.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   494342 Feb  3 16:19 libswscale.a

So, question are still the same  - how to compile ffmpegthumbnailer !?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Make sure you have a proper ffmpeg installation. Compiling it from source will 
install 
the pc files.

Original comment by dirk.vdb on 3 Feb 2010 at 2:54

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Thanks, you are right. Ffmpeg by default creates shared libs and .pc files in
/usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, so pkg-config can't find these 
files.

So, ffmpeg must be compiled with correct --prefix=/usr.
