Is it redundant ffmpeg and libavcodec-dev??

Hi
I have Fedora 17 and the CMake does not detect my ffmpeg compilation. I check your script and note that you propose:

1. Install the ffmpeg libraries (libavcodec and so on) with apt-get
2. Install ffmpeg without specify prefix so it is located in /usr/local/

I think that 1 and 2 are redundant and it is possible that cmake catched the packages installed using apt-get instead of the ffmpeg library compilation. Could you check that?

Hey,
I want to the latest stable release of ffmpeg to be installed, hence I'm doing it that way. Installing ffmpeg from apt-get works just fine. Regarding, libavcodec, you mean to say that ffmpeg includes it so it is redundant to install it from apt-get, right?

If you can edit it, and write a script for Fedora, please send me a pull request.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi Jay, Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
I'm working with the source code of ffmpeg from github. I solve my problem adjusting the prefix=/usr (instead of /usr/local) when I compiled ffmpeg. I consider that this solution is not elegant but I have no experience with cmake syntax.

I'm going to send my script later :D
