ERROR: libass not found using pkg-config while building ffmpeg

[VoodooZ]

This is a weird one... I have pkgconfig installed and all that but I assume because we're using some sort of isolated build structure it's not finding it.
Does that mean I'd need to add a function to build libass too so it can get placed with other binaries?

I've seen similar results with libfreetype too before I disabled it..

ERROR: libass not found using pkg-config

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
[email protected] mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

Will answer you tomorrow.
Possibly libass-devel should be installed manually for workaround that.

By any chance, are you on CentOS? If that's the case, you'll want to install the following: sudo yum install autoconf automake bzip2 cmake freetype-devel gcc gcc-c++ git libtool make mercurial pkgconfig zlib-devel freetype freetype-devel libass xz xz-libs xz-devel pxz libvpx-devel yum-utils wget fribidi* fontconfig* libass-devel bzip2-devel libbz2-devel See these last two packages?

I am on Centos 7 yes. Libbz2-devel doesn't exist in any of my yum repos. I installed bzip2-devel so we'll see if that makes any difference. I had already written a libass build module worst case Thanks On Sun, Feb 3, 2019, 4:11 PM Dennis E. Mungai <[email protected] wrote:

Actually. libbz2-devel is bzip2-devel... and it's installed. So not that.. On Sun, Feb 3, 2019 at 4:11 PM Dennis E. Mungai <[email protected]> wrote:

Here's my first stab at a compileLibAss()

compileLibAss() {
    echo "Compiling libass"
    cd "$WORK_DIR/"
    Wget https://github.com/libass/libass/releases/download/0.14.0/libass-0.14.0.tar.xz
    tar Jxvf "libass-0.14.0.tar.xz"
    cd libass-0.14.0
    autoreconf -fiv
    ./configure --prefix="$DEST_DIR" --disable-shared
    make -j$(nproc)
    make install distclean
}

Then just need to add a call of compileLibAss early in the call list at the end of the script.

And voila! I am now able to complete compilation of ffmpeg!
Thanks!

Hmm.. libass-devel was in installYumLibs.

Please attach ffbuild/config.log next time.

[VoodooZ]

I knew it was installed at system level and double checked it was installed but pkgconfig was still complaining so Just implemented it seperately..
