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

ffmpeg-nonfree-build-ubuntu-16.04.sh

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

Hmm...

The thing is that it should compile the libraries as statically "linkable" (all in the executable itself). This is why I've added the -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=0 cmake parameters or the --disable-shared --enable-static ./configure parameters to the libraries and the --pkg-config-flags="--static" to the ffmpeg build.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Ubuntu nearby to give it a try.
I would guess that you've only changed some URLs and not touched other parameters...
Could you confirm?

Thanks for the reply.

I can confirm that I changed 3 URLs to point to exactly the same files as your links pointed to, just on a different website. So it is still downloading the same files, with the same name etc., so there is no need to change anything else in the script, that I can see. The 3 URLs that I changed were:

1 - http://fribidi.org/download/fribidi-0.19.7.tar.bz2 to https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi/releases/download/0.19.7/fribidi-0.19.7.tar.bz2

2 - http://downloads.sourceforge.net/twolame/twolame-0.3.13.tar.gz to https://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/twolame/twolame/0.3.13/twolame-0.3.13.tar.gz

3 - https://files.dyne.org/frei0r/snapshots/frei0r-snapshot-27-01-15.tar.gz to https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/blfs/conglomeration/frei0r/frei0r-snapshot-27-01-15.tar.gz

It's not about them compiling statically or not, it's about the script working; until it gets to actually compiling ffmpeg. Then as ffmpeg starts to compile, it complains that it can't find the libraries to compile with.
