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@drscotthawley this script is quite old and no longer maintained.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