ffmpeg.h headers...

rjuarezp

Hi!
I am trying to compile a C++ program that uses the ffmpeg library. I get an error at the line #include <ffmpeg/ffmpeg.h> telling that the library is not existing.

I already installed the package ffmpeg-dev. Do I have to install anything else? I could not find libavcodec-dev or libavformat-dev... etc.

Does anybody have any ideas why? Does anybody know where the headers of ffmpeg are located?

Thanks!

It doesn't look like the ffmpeg package ships that header file, is your software perhaps not updated for modern versions of ffmpeg?

ReillyBrogan My system is up to date. I use ffmpeg 6.1.2, which is the latest version in my repo. I have Solus since many years and update the system every time there is an update... There is also the version 4.4 in the repos. I installed the ffmpeg-dev package of both versions but still not working...

I have listed all files from package ffmpeg-devel and ffmpeg.h is not included...

Yes, that's what Reilly means. There is no such header file anymore (anywhere in the repository, for that matter). The question was whether the software you're trying to compile has been updated for newer ffmpeg versions, or relies on assumptions about ffmpeg headers that are no longer true.
