[RESOLVED] ERROR: libvpx decoder version must be >=0.9.1

[gribbly]

Hi,

I'm getting an error when I do ./configure --enable-vpx:

Code: Select all

"ERROR: libvpx decoder version must be >=0.9.1"

./configure with no options works fine, so it seems to be a vpx issue... I guess I need a newer version of vibvpx. But I don't know where to get it from, or where to put it if I find it.

config.log is here:

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

RESOLVED: See reply

OK I found some help on #ffmpeg (thanks blaamann!)

Some of the lib source links are outdated, but the basic approach works, and I was able to build an ffmpeg with libvpx support.

RESOLVED.

your link gives 404.. that's why it is always good to describe it a little bit also
the usual issue, in cases similar to yours, is that you have one version of the library installed by your package manager (apt-get, yum, etc), which is usually outdated, like most of packages in the distro..
so the best option is to compile that library from source (and first uninstall the package from your system, to avoid conflicts) and after the successful installation, maybe also "ldconfig" command will be needed, and that's usually it
