I thought it would work ok. Hate to be a distro-dummy, tho.... [Not that Gentoo is a dummy's distro, of course!]
so unmerge ffmpeg and mpeg4ip if it's on your system and go get the cvs sources (it will compile fine within gentoo, no worries)
recent cvs were working fine but sevy's recommandations are to use ffmpeg-cvs-2003-03-04.tar.gz
I'll try tomorrow, first thing.
emerging things brings you sources files (sometimes patched and with alternate configurations) not directly accessible by the user. i guess that if you extract the ffmpeg gentoo package from your /usr/portage/distfiles and make pidip point to it, it would also work
That is precisely what I did... copied the downloaded package from the DISTFILES folder to another directory and pointed the configure script at it.
(in reality it won't cause the ffmpeg from portage doesn't have the stuff recquired by pidip right now)
This is true. It is sorely lacking.
who promised me some chili cooking once ... :]
What are you doing tomorrow night?
