Build fails with "ERROR: amf requested but not found"

[nschlia]

Since rev. 2b392ad5afc305d45fb35321ca32d9f904771fc7 , the build fails with "ERROR: amf requested but not found". I installed the AMF headers as in https://ffmpeg.org/general.html#AMD-AMF_002fVCE, but to no avail.

I am cross compiling under Debian 11 (bullseye).

Build command:

./cross_compile_ffmpeg.sh --disable-nonfree=n --sandbox-ok=y --compiler-flavors=multi --build-ffmpeg-static=n --build-ffmpeg-shared=y

Here the last lines of the log:

What can I do now?

Additional info: I was able to successfully build by adding the parameter --build-amd-amf=n. But from the script code I suppose it should automatically download and install the AMF headers.

that's weird, was it a recent build? does amf_headers_git exist?

Yes. I am always using the latest build (you commits trigger a Jenkins build which pulls the current version)

does amf_headers_git exist?

Yup.

I got the same error when building n6.0.

ERROR: amf requested but not found

I deleted "amf_headers_git" and got it again and the build was successful.

Thanks for the fix description :)
