The configure command was copied from https://github.com/nyanmisaka/ffmpeg-rockchip/wiki/Compilation:

Could somebody help to fix this?

Deleted system libav libs and now it builds.

[xaionaro]

Just in case, my extremely humble opinion is that it looks like a bug (and the linker command needs fixing) when the building script uses external libs instead of the libs it just built; and then fails to link because of that. But assuming this is inherited from the upstream ffmpeg, so never mind...

[faken]

I am having the same issue, how did you delete the system libav?

[xaionaro]

Don't remember exactly, but I did something like (the actual command may differ):

dpkg --force-all -P `dpkg -l | grep libav | awk '{print $2}'`

Then rebuilt the ffmpeg. And then fixed back the system (installed missing packages for the system to function properly) using:

apt install -f
