Question

I have configured and compiled the FFmpeg library using this link: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu

Now, I am trying to build example C codes pro

Answer 1

nasm/yasm not found or too old. Use --disable-x86asm for a crippled build. If you think to configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to theffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help solve the problem.

If you see this when you execute the above command then do this
macOS: brew install yasm

Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install yasm

Answer 2

Run ./configure && make -j4 examples in the FFmpeg source directory, then look in doc/examples for the compiled examples.

• Requires make and pkg-config.

• To remove the compiled examples use make examplesclean in the FFmpeg source directory.
