[FFmpeg-user] Ffmpeg build on Ubuntu

I'm trying to build ffmpeg on my Ubuntu 15.10 box. I am following these
instructions:

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu

Following the directions the first build I'm having to do is for libx265. I
have followed the directions up until:

***@thomas-linux-box:~/ffmpeg_sources/x265/build/linux$ make install
[ 23%] Built target encoder
[ 87%] Built target common
[ 87%] Built target x265-static
[100%] Built target cli
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Release"
-- Installing: /home/thomas/ffmpeg_build/lib/libx265.a
-- Installing: /home/thomas/ffmpeg_build/include/x265.h
-- Installing: /home/thomas/ffmpeg_build/include/x265_config.h
-- Installing: /home/thomas/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig/x265.pc
-- Installing: /home/thomas/ffmpeg_build/bin/x265
***@thomas-linux-box:~/ffmpeg_sources/x265/build/linux$ make distclean
make: *** No rule to make target 'distclean'. Stop.

I am unsure how to proceed.

Thanks!

So I continued with the build and when I did the really long path command
inside of ffpmpeg, I got the following:

***@thomas-linux-box:~/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg$ PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig" ./configure \

--prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" \
--pkg-config-flags="--static" \
--extra-cflags="-I$HOME/ffmpeg_build/include" \
--extra-ldflags="-L$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib" \
--bindir="$HOME/bin" \
--enable-gpl \
--enable-libass \
--enable-libfdk-aac \
--enable-libfreetype \
--enable-libmp3lame \
--enable-libopus \
--enable-libtheora \
--enable-libvorbis \
--enable-libvpx \
--enable-libx264 \
--enable-libx265 \
--enable-nonfree

ERROR: x265 not found using pkg-config

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-***@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

So it's looking for the 265 libraries.

Please help!

At this stage, it doesn't matter, it is just supposed to clean up your
source tree after install. Go ahead with the other instructions, "make
install" had gone fine.
Perhaps make distlean isn't supported anymore.

ERROR: x265 not found using pkg-config

That's peculiar, because your first email showed that it installed
this:
/home/thomas/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig/x265.pc

So, please try execute for us and show us the output:
$ ls -l /home/thomas/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig/x265.pc
$ pkg-config --libs x265
$ (export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig"; pkg-config --libs x265)
$ (export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig"; pkg-config --cflags x265)
$ (export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig"; pkg-config --libs --static x265)
$ (export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig"; pkg-config --cflags --static x265)

Thanks,
Moritz

If this is a snapshot of the latest hg tree, then it is probably because the
"bool" bug. Add "#include <stdbool.h>" somewhere in the beginning of x265.h
and it should work.

Made change to the header as requested and re-ran the build. Doesn't look
like much has changed:

From what I can tell, that was fixed here:
http://hg.videolan.org/x265/rev/86b915fdd88a

But it's worth a try.

Otherwise, we need Thomas's config.log, or at least the end of it.
@Thomas, can you check the end of config.log for messages regarding
x265?

But if that's it, why didn't changing the header make it better?

Though I am not the OP fro the build problem in question, I can report that
this failure occurred for me in the FFmpeg build process Wednesday, Dec 2.
Everything was checked out fresh at that time.

I was following the instructions for Linux 14.04 described on the FFmpeg
build page. It did not appear to me that there was a problem in the x265
build itself.

It seemed as though the FFmpeg build process was not finding it. This even
though it was located exactly where it claimed it should be. Therefore I
tried to report it as a problem with the FFmpeg configure process.

My report was not posted because I was not yet a 'member' of the list.

I was using a clone from:

It seems to be the one officially recommended, and it does not have this

Tried using that clone and still had the same build issue.
