An automated script to build FFmpeg non-free on RHEL/CentOS with as much features as possible. (Including mediainfo for debugging)

ffmpeg-nonfree-build-centos-7.sh

# TODO: Verify to link statically some dependencies usually not available in a default instllation of RHEL/CentOS (ex.: libxcb)

Nice work, but I am getting one error, when libtheora looks for ogg:

checking for Ogg... no
*** Could not run Ogg test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means Ogg was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved Ogg since it was installed.
configure: error:
libogg is required to build this package!
please see http://www.xiph.org/ for how to
obtain a copy.

ogg seems to be installed where all the other stuff is, so I am at a loss! Any help much appreciated. I am running this on a fresh cent 6.7 minimal.

Oops, I wasn't aware that someone would actually use it ;)
This was tested on CentOS 7.1 but I have a RHEL 6.7 that I could try this script and try to debug.
I'll give it a try and let you know.
BTW, are you using a x86_64 OS?

hi tried it went through the whole script at the end i recieved this centos 7 im not a linux guru so thats why im using your script thanks for creating it.
