Two weeks ago a change was made to 'configure' to make the lavc tscc decoder dependent upon zlib. Before this change the tssc compilation would fail complaining of a missing zlib.h. Now a missing zlib is no longer needed for a clean compile. But.. All the ffmpeg codecs fail Opening audio decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg/libavcodec audio decoders Cannot find codec 'cook' in libavcodec... ADecoder init failed :( ADecoder init failed :( Opening audio decoder: [realaud] RealAudio decoder Error: /usr/lib/codecs/cook.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec cook.so. Read the RealAudio section of the DOCS! ...etc config.h contain #define ENABLE_AASC_DECODER 0 #define ENABLE_AMV_DECODER 0 #define ENABLE_ASV1_DECODER 0 #define ENABLE_ASV2_DECODER 0 #define ENABLE_AVS_DECODER 0 #define ENABLE_BETHSOFTVID_DECODER 0 #define ENABLE_BFI_DECODER 0 #define ENABLE_BMP_DECODER 0 #define ENABLE_C93_DECODER 0 #define ENABLE_CAVS_DECODER 0 ...etc All fixed by a detectable ZLIB library. Can I put is a request for fatal configurations; missing or disabled zlib, libavformat, libswscale, etc. To save wasted compilations, and many hours of not knowing why the codecs in /usr/lib/codecs were not being used.
