Otherwise, nice script! Works for me on Ubuntu 18.04.02

done @gilgongo! Thanks.

thanks for the script! I had some issues build failures from ffmpeg master so I updated a fork to use the latest released version 4.2.1. https://gist.github.com/chrisvaughn/469312639631a65798c70acef36a108e

Thanks @chrisvaughn! Your version worked for me, while original was broken. @rafaelbiriba please update this to keep it fresh! :)

Updated! Thanks @chrisvaughn !

Got fatal error: syslib_channelMapDescr.h: No such file or directory
#include "syslib_channelMapDescr.h" when it comes to compile part. I think it needs another revision?

Hi rafaelbiriba,
i wanted to know if the ffmpeg that is built with the script you provided has the support to inject spatial Audio metadata(Ambisonics).I am working on a project for Android where in i am using ffmpeg library to trim the 4k video . After trimming the video, the video loses the spatial properties(Video and audio). I am able to inject the Video meta data but not able to inject Audio(ambisonics)metadata.Please help me with the same.

This is really great BUT it's missing most of the codecs that come with the default debian FFMPEG.

It's great to add libfdk-aac .. but why remove support for all the good stuff?

I fetched additional packages and configured more stuff ..

i did as your instructions, but got error ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libfdk-aac.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
can you write a complete bash file for this, thanks.

please make for support ffmpeg 5.0

please make for support ffmpeg 5.0

Just use https://github.com/markus-perl/ffmpeg-build-script

I'm getting ERROR: libfdk_aac not found after it runs through a bunch of ffmpeg-4.2.1 files:

...
ffmpeg-4.2.1/tests/checkasm/vf_nlmeans.c
ffmpeg-4.2.1/tests/tiny_psnr.c
ffmpeg-4.2.1/COPYING.LGPLv2.1
ffmpeg-4.2.1/README.md
ffmpeg-4.2.1/CONTRIBUTING.md
ERROR: libfdk_aac not found

I don't notice any prior errors or issues with the build process before that.
Any suggestions?
(e.g., if it's a package we need, how come it's not included in the apt-get line that installs the other packages?)

@drscotthawley this script is quite old and no longer maintained.

In any case, did you have libfdk_aac?
It seems you may be skipping the clone part from the libfdk_aac repository.

@rafaelbiriba this happens if you run the script without root permissions in a copy-paste multi-line command (at least in my zsh setup it did), since for multi-line commands it behaves as if split by ; and doesn't quit at the first failure...

For that, I'd recommend adding a set -e before everything else, since that should make most current shells quit after the first failed command (but that would still lead to problems with the mkdir commands when trying again after the first attempt).

About the problem @drscotthawley mentions, I think I faced it myself here... I'm not one to vouch for sudo usage "for everyone", but I would certainly recommend (in this specific case) to prefix all apt-get, make install and cp ffmpeg /usr/bin/ commands with sudo if one's willing to try it without root access, since (together with the aforementioned problem) the script tries to move on with undefined results even if any of the dependencies' installations fails...

But I'd guess the right way forward would be to work on a CMake (or something alike) script, that handles dependencies Git (sub)modules cloning (compilation and installation, if required) altogether, also properly handling errors (and by saying that, I think I know why you left this gist as-was 😏 )

@CRC-Mismatch thanks for the detailed analysis.
This script was originally intended to be used for myself, I used a couple of times in 2019 and has been deprecated by me since then.
Feel free to take over and make a smarter version out of it. 🤞
