Building the FFmpeg library

Building a FFmpeg library for use with Lynkeos is very easy. Just follow the instructions below :

• Download and install the developer tools from http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/. Choose the latest version of XCode.
• Download and install the Subversion client from http://metissian.com/projects/macosx/subversion/.
• Open the "Terminal". Starting now, the lines in italic are commands that you shall type in the terminal.
• Create a folder for building the library :
  mkdir -p Developement
  cd Developement
• Retrieve the FFmpeg source code :
  svn checkout --revision 6005 svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
  cd ffmpeg
• Set the configuration :
  ./configure --disable-debug --enable-shared --enable-gpl --prefix=/usr/local
• Build the library :
  make
• And, at last, install it (type your password when prompted to do so) :
  sudo make install
