cannot build utils/video_file

[rhetr]

when I run ./build on utils/video_file I receive the following error:

Building ffmpeg for Ruby 1.9... * extconf.rb failed * Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may need configuration options.

i searched my installed software and already have both libavformat-dev and libswscale-dev. ubuntu and a few other distros use avconv instead of ffmpeg. is that the problem?

I recently got video_file support working on Ubuntu 15.04 on the sdl2 branch.

Could you give it a try on the sdl2 branch?

Video file plugin should be working again (at least in ubuntu 15.04). Try the new build.sh
