Can ffmpeg be compiled for php5?

Jason,

It is possible, the same procedure should work except if PHP5 is in a different path, you should run a different the “phpize” of the PHP5 path and the “php-config” of the PHP5 path.

Not forgetting to put the right php.ini path too.

thanks I was able to get it working I had a mis typed directory in my php.ini

Cheers,

Jay

i like your numbering ..9,10,11,11,12,12,13….

Woops. Fixed.

ahh, nice instructions. The latest ffmpeg svn source requires –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libogg –enable-libvorbis

Everything seems to compile fine, but when I run ffmpeg I get this error:

ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: ffmpeg: undefined symbol: avcodec_alloc_context2

I can’t even find avcodec_alloc_context2 googling…

oops, was trying to run with system version of one of the libraries, rather than the version in /usr/local. adjusting LD_LIBRARY_PATH fixed this problem.

Thanks! Very helpful.
For RHEL4 you need:

up2date install subversion
up2date install ruby

My distribution already had ncurses-devel

I also needed to add:
/usr/local/lib

to etc/ld.so.conf

and then run ldconfig

also, I think, for step 15 I used:
echo ‘extension=ffmpeg.so’ >> /etc/php.ini

PHP – CLI, I believe, is not there default for RHEL4, so I set up a simple php file with phpinfo(); for step 17. Everything appears to be there…

Thanks again!

All was going very smoothly untill I hit this road block configuring libvorbis-1.1.2:

Here’s the tail end of the config process:

checking for pkg-config… yes
checking for pkg-config… /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for ogg >= 1.0… Package ogg was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `ogg.pc’
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package ‘ogg’ found
checking for Ogg… no
*** Could not run Ogg test program, checking why…
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding Ogg or finding the wrong
*** version of Ogg. If it is not finding Ogg, you’ll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
configure: error: must have Ogg installed!

I was SOOOO excited, and the that sucked the wind outta my sail! any thoughts?

All these about installing with linux. How about with Windows XP etc. Can we do with it? I’ll try to install and read your comment carefully. Please help me with this.

Thanks,
Metrey,

I’ve followed the instructions word for word, and everything is installed fine. However when I do the verification: php -r ‘phpinfo();’ | grep ffmpeg I get the following response:

root@server01 [~/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0]# php -r ‘phpinfo();’ | grep ffmpeg
OLDPWD => /root/ffmpeg
PWD => /root/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0
_SERVER["OLDPWD"] => /root/ffmpeg
_SERVER["PWD"] => /root/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0
_ENV["OLDPWD"] => /root/ffmpeg
_ENV["PWD"] => /root/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0

Any ideas?

It’s not an error, FFMPEG is installed now.

I can’t see it in my info.php file though. Does it not show up there?

Then I guess you activated FFMPEG for the CLI version of PHP. On the info.php, make sure the file you added the information to is the same one listed on “Configuration File (php.ini) Path” IN the info.php

Yep…it all checks out. I have the extension (extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so) installed in the correct file according to my info.php (www.dimension-hosting.com/info.php).

/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini

Sorry to hammer your blog, but I fixed it. I must’ve gotten a newer version of the extension. When I looked in the directory ../php/extensions I had the following directory: no-debug-non-zts-20060613

Once I changed the extension it worked. Thanks for the great tutorial and all the help.

Great howto here on vexxblog… could someone reply to Shane Holloman question I too have this problem. libvorbis-1.1.2 wont install due to Ogg.

Thanks if someone can help

wget http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ ogg/libogg-1.1.3.tar.gz
tar zxvf libogg-1.1.3.tar.gz
cd ~/libogg-1.1.3
./configure –enable-shared
make
make install

this will install the shared libraries for libogg so libvorbis can detect them

Does anyone have any links or tips on porting this process to freeBSD?

Ugh. Any ides?

I used the following method to build and configure FAAD to this install so that you can decode AAC files (This is for Redhat EL3 but you can easily find the RPM’s on the same site for other plaforms):

Step 1. Get RPM’s

wget http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/redhat/el3/en/i386/RPMS.dries/faad2-2.5-1.el3.rf.i386.rpm
wget http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/redhat/el3/en/i386/RPMS.dries/faad2-devel-2.5-1.el3.rf.i386.rpm

Step 2.

Install RPM’s

cd ~/ffmpeg/
rpm -Uvh faad2-2.5-1.el3.rf.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh faad2-devel-2.5-1.el3.rf.i386.rpm

Change Step 12. Compile FFMPEG with FAAD support

cd ~/ffmpeg/ffmpeg
./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libogg –enable-libvorbis –disable-mmx –enable-shared –enable-libfaad –enable-gpl
echo ‘#define HAVE_LRINTF 1′ >> config.h
make
make install

Would I have to modify these instructions to install ffmpeg without root access (e.g. on Dreamhost in my /home/username/bin dir)?

Steve,

DreamHost already runs FFMPEG with most common options and libraries installed. You can execute it from /usr/bin/ffmpeg. No need to waste your time or lose sleep over compiling it yourself.

j.

I’m getting ‘permission denied’ on step 15 and 17 regarding the echo commands. Any idea how I can bypass this?

I’ve tried:
echo ‘extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/ no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so’ >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

And also with sudo at start.

p.s I just migrated from windows XP 2 days ago

ok sorted that previous problem with chmod :p

Now: php -r ‘phpinfo();’ | grep ffmpeg

Returns:
PWD => /home/louistsoi/ffmpeg/ffmpeg
_SERVER["PWD"] => /home/louistsoi/ffmpeg/ffmpeg
_ENV["PWD"] => /home/louistsoi/ffmpeg/ffmpeg

And it doesn’t show up in my phpinfo().
The php.ini is the correct one that I used for step 15

ok for step 15 I just tried:

echo ‘extension=/usr/lib/php5/20051025/ffmpeg.so’ >> /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini

still no luck.. I will now sit and cry for a little while

Ok, So after I dried my eyes, I slammed this line into php.ini and it worked!!!

extension=ffmpeg.so

I’m up to step 14 and the directory I’m currently in is /var/www/html/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0

I’ve tried the command:
phpize
Output: I get phpize: command not found

./configure
Output: ./configure: No such file or directory

make
Output: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

make install
Output: make: *** No rule to make target `install’. Stop.

I’m stuckkkkk. Please help ;___;

Nevermind .. I figured it out

How would one do this if they had a remote host? Install FFmpeg that is. Is it possible?

hey guys, i need desperately help, this instructions seem to be perfect but i am so confused. Would someone install this for me if i give you my db name and password please?
i have been trying to install it for over a week now.

I am getting a rather nasty error when compiling mplayer on a dual xeon setup if that makes a difference.. here is the error, if anyone can help I would be very appreciative. Thanks,

Hi!
This is extremely helpful

I am trying to install this in a shared server (I have ssh access, and they allow me to compile programs !!), with no root access, everything anew, with php complied for my dir.

to do this, for eah .configire, I need to add the –prefix=$HOME/mydir

also before that, a couple of exports:

export TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export CPATH=$HOME/include:/usr/local/include:$CPATH
export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib:/usr/local/lib:$LIBRARY_PATH

and created the following dirs

lib
bin
inside $HOME

and teh src dir to keep wget files !!

so.. still playing.. anyone can give me some more tips??

hi there! can you please guide me installing the ffmpeg-php along with php on DreamHost ??

Thanks

Hi,
I got this error when tried to ./configure ffmpeg:
Unable to create and execute files in /tmp. Set the TMPDIR environment
variable to another directory and make sure that /tmp is not mounted
noexec.
Sanity test failed.
If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from SVN. 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 “config.err” produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.

ANy Ideas??

i get this error on restarting the server:

PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library ‘.//usr/local/lib/php/extensions/’ – .//usr/local/lib/php/extensions/: cannot read file data: Is a directory in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library ‘.//usr/local/lib/php/extensions/ no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so’ – .//usr/local/lib/php/extensions/ no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Have tried this procedure several times now with no success…

php -r ‘phpinfo();’ | grep ffmpeg
PWD => /home/dancetv/public_html/ffmpeg
_SERVER["PWD"] => /home/dancetv/public_html/ffmpeg
_ENV["PWD"] => /home/dancetv/public_html/ffmpeg

Everything compiles ok for all of the source files. And all seems to install smoothly but obviously it is not installing properly and does not show up in phpinfo.

Not sure where to go from here. Any advices to trouble shoot would be appreciated. Have been at this for 2 days now with no luck.

“make” doesn’t work for ‘libogg’ and ‘libvorbis’. I get:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

‘Makefile’ doesn’t exist or isn’t generated with ‘./configure’. I’ve tried qmake, but command doesn’t exits for debian.

Any help?

Thank you…worked nicely.

hey,
please help me,

I am having a problem with the install procedure. All is OK until step 5. I get an error message:

[root@localhost ffmpeg]# yum install subversion
bash: yum: command not found

I am using redhad linux version 9. Any ideas

Hello,
I followed your instructions and got ffmpeg done(My PHP version is 5.1.6).

Thanks a lot for providing such helps.

Best regards.

Rupom

if i have finish this how to succes full
but i need 3gp suport

how can i add this ?
Any ideas?

btw. if you add this yum repos (rpmforge.repo, mirrors-rpmforge, kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo, dag.repo)
you can isntall all this tools using yum install
(yum install libogg
yum install libvorbis
yum install flvtool2 … )

Wow, that looks so easy. I am sure I could do it blind folded! I got lost though at the “mkdir” instruction. What exactly does that do?

All goes well to:

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg

this gives me an error:

svn: Can’t connect to host ‘mplayerhq.hu’: Connection timed out

how can i solve it?

I can not tell you how much I appreciated this – chased RPM’s for dependencies for a day before I found your site – the documentation at the ffmpeg site was too cryptic.

Thanks a million for the step by step – and FYI anyone on RHEL – make sure to read the notes left by Paul at #8

THNKS A MILL!

your instructions are so wonderful, i was able to set up ffmpeg on our hosting server.
thanks for your great help..

Hey, I am having the same problem as many of the people here. At step 9:
cd ~/ffmpeg/libvorbis-1.1.2
./configure
make
make install

I get his error:
—————————————

I think it would help quite a few people out to find the answer to this problem. Has anyone been able to solve this?

I don’t think I posted the error message properly. Here it is again – for step 9:

———————

So, yeah, thats the error. And Im stuck. It must have something to do with OGG but Im not sure what. I also don’t know what to do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Any guidance is MUCH MUCH appreciated. thanks

Thanks for useful stuff.

Can anyone help? I have searched the web and found several people with same error, but no solution.

HELP pls!!!!!!!!

For those who get:

checking for ogg >= 1.0… Package ogg was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `ogg.pc’
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

You need to update the path. I thought I was missing PKGCONFIG but it was installed on my system. Type this:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

then

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

In my case ogg.pc was in the pkgconfig subdirectory.

good luck.

Hi there,
Thank you all for this tutorial and your useful comments.
I am following this tutorial to install under gentoo. But I am now stuck with step 5.
1)Yum is an unknown command on Gentoo. Any alternative known?
2)In the tutorial, I find no mention about downloading ruby, subversion and ncurses-devel. Do we have to do this as a separate step?
Cheers to all

I think I found it: yum command in Gentoo should be : emerge
Am I right?

Seems some of these links are out of date? When I try to “wget” it just says connot be found.

hi! people nid help for installing of ffmpeg… i try somany times but i failed… somebody help me pls… my OS is winXP… ive install apache for my php scripts…

thank you very much…..
Jynkz™

It is all for linux environment. can I install this in windows help me Please

These instructions worked perfectly for my centos 4.4 box. Thank you very much I appreciate you posting this howto.

For people who are having problems with Yum, you can just get the source snapshots from the ffmpeg and mplayer website and compile those. (Not sure about ncurses-devel, I just skipped that but everything seemed to compile fine.)

On the other hand, I’m stuck on step 15, I can’t find where ffmpeg.so is… I checked the extension_dir setting in my phpinfo page and it’s not in there. (It’s the same directory as it reports when I run ‘php -i’ too, so presumably it’s not a CLI/web problem..)

Also, it seems as though libavformat.so.50 did not install; I don’t know if this is a problem or not, since libavformat.so.51 seems to be present. (libavformat.so.50 is the only bright-red link in /usr/lib)

Aha! You can find ffmpeg.so by looking at the output of ffmpeg-php’s ‘make install’

I have this problem

root@server [/usr/src/install/ffmpeg]# ./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libogg –enable-libvorbis –disable-mmx –enable-shared

I have the same exact issue. I verified the file name is correct: no-debug-non-zts-20020429

And I am still getting the message on verification:

Any ideas?

I continue to run into this error when installing “make” and “make install” on mplayer.

Hi,

I got this error.

[root@server ffmpeg]# /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -i
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libogg.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I had ffmpeg working on php4 but when I upgraded to php5, it no longer worked. Went through the install process step by step, ffmpeg worked from the command line but did not show up in the php.ini file. I got an error when checking if it installed correctly from the command line: undefined symbol: zend_hash_add_or_update in Unknown on line 0. Could not find anything on fixing it. So I tried installing a newer version of ffmpeg-php (version 0.5.1) and voila, it worked and ffmpeg is working from php.

Sorry to bring this up again.
when i install ffmpeg i get:

ldconfig
make: ldconfig: Command not found
make: [install-libs] Error 127 (ignored)
install -d “/usr/local/bin”
install: cannot change permissions of `/usr/local/bin’: Operation not permitted
make: *** [install-progs] Error 1

Any idea? i don’t have root-access. I configured the script with –prefix=/myhome

any idea?

My webhost has setup FFMPEG for me, but when I try to check what he has done and run the command php -r ‘phpinfo();’ | grep ffmpeg
I get the message that the -r option is not available. Is there an alternative?

Thanks

May I ask: how much time would an install like this cost for an average sysadmin who knows about linux and PHP and all that?

Many thanks

Any idea?

Hello,
I am having the same problem as Ryan and arman (above)

Unable to create and execute files in /tmp. Set the TMPDIR environment
variable to another directory and make sure that /tmp is not mounted
noexec.
Sanity test failed.
If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from SVN. 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 “config.err” produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.

Please help me to solve this.

Great instructions although I ran into the same problem but that Shane, James, and Karina mentioned above.

I found the answer here: http://www.nabble.com/libvorbis-1.1.3-t1954377.html

Hey Thanks for the tutorial! ran into some trouble but was able to solve it… for php 5.2 you need to make some changes…

This installation works well with ffmpeg-php-0.5.1

updated step 8

8. Compile libOGG
cd ~/ffmpeg/libogg-1.1.3
./configure –enable-shared
make
make install

then

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

then

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

updated step 12 for php 5.2

12. Compile FFMPEG
cd ~/ffmpeg/ffmpeg
./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libogg –enable-libvorbis –disable-mmx –enable-shared
make
make install

and for those of you that have plesk, make sure you change step 15 to:

15. Install FFMPEG-PHP (make sure the php.ini path is correct.)
echo ‘extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so’ >> /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/php.ini

if this doesn’t work for you… your problem lays in step 12. I had to restart at step 12 about 3 times before it actually worked. I installed on a VPS and it worked beautifully. I was able to install all of this in about 3 hours. Thanks!

hey there,
i want to install os tube on my vServer. Now os tube asks for the path to FLVTOOL2 and Ruby.

Hi there . . . do you have WORKING sintructions like this for MAC OS X.5.1 Leopard??

I want FFMPEG and i NEED FFMPEG-PHP . . .but I am far better at actually USING php than compiling anything.

Is there anything you can do to help?? Feel free to email me.

Big thanks and great work.

I successfully installed ffmpeg finally. And things like screen capturing, getting movie info, etc works. But when I try to convert any movie using php it doesnt work and I dont get an error. Then when I try to convert certain movies in SSH it works (the test avi’s). Am I missing something?

I am stuck on installing mplayer and I got this error.

Hello, please help me

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: ffmpeg: Unable to initialize module\nModule compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread-safety=0\nPHP compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0\nThese options need to match\n in Unknown on line 0

After about 4 hours of pain, i’ve been able to install it xD Why isn’t there an easier yum installation? T_T But anyways, great tutorial, just my problems were:

1.- The mentioned libogg problem
2.- The mentioned TMP directory problem
3.- The mentioned ffmpeg.so problems

But now i have it installed ^^

thanks a lot … very usefull ..

I think the issue with mplayer is a version thing…I built it with one I checked out back in Oct and it worked fine…hanging onto that version of the source now to make sure I can build it again.

yea dexter, I got the same error as you
Got any solution yet?

Any help would be appreciated.

I tried to follow everything and Im using SSH Shell Client to install this to debian server. Everything seems to work out fine till to the part I compiled ffmpeg and It says that libvorbis cannot be found.

I tried to recompile libvorbis and while compiling it there was error that says:

configure: error: must have Ogg installed!

Based on the instruction I’ve installed Libogg right? why is it that when compiling libvorbis it says that it doesnt have ogg installed?

Help please

To all those who are having problems like I have regarding OGG needs to be installed. Ive tried using all the stuffs mentioned above but it havent worked. If you guys still have problems after trying those, try this..

apt-get install libogg-dev

Hope it works.

i get this error how can i fix it

PHP Warning: Unknown(): (null): Unable to initialize module\nModule compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0\nPHP compiled with module$

Just a few days ago i had ffmpeg-php working. then i got the bright
idea to try to add a codec to ffmpeg. so i re-installed ffmpeg and
then ffmpeg-php. i then noticed this error which i did NOT get before.

Fatal error: Call to a member function togdimage() on a non-object

$movie = new ffmpeg_movie(“testmovie.wmv”);
$cap = $movie->getFrame(1);
$img = $cap->togdimage();

that is my php code. (i have also tried MANY different movie types)
now i have figured out that all functions called from $cap return that
error, $cap returns false, but am not sure why. i have not changed
this code at all, yet it worked before this.

I have the latest ffmpeg, the latest ffmpeg-php, the latest php, and
the latest gd library installed.
also, in an outputted phpinfo() page, it says that ffmpeg-php is
installed correctly. i also printed out:

get_class_methods(“ffmpeg_frame”)
and
get_class_methods(“ffmpeg_movie”)

and that returns all the functions, they are all there, including
togdimage.

when configuring php, i have read mixed ideas. some say to use –with-
gd, and some say –with-gd=shared. i have tried both, with no success
with either.

here is my configuration command for “ffmpeg” TMPDIR=”/tmp2″ ./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libvorbis –disable-mmx –enable-shared

a) if i don’t have the TMPDIR=”/tmp2″ there, it will say “Unable to
create and execute files in /tmp. Set the TMPDIR environment
variable to another directory and make sure that /tmp is not mounted
noexec. Sanity test failed.”. but the /tmp2 dir does exist and is
chmodded 7777.
b) i have installed libOGG many times but when i have –enable-libogg
as an option it says “Unknown option..” so i just take it out.

and for ffmpeg-php i dont use any configuration parameters. once
ffmpeg-php is installed, i go to “/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/” and copy ffmpeg.so to “/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/” (one directory up), and in my php.ini file i have:

extension_dir = “/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/”
extension=ffmpeg.so

in my phpinfo(), it DOES recognize ffmpeg-php. but the functions out
of the class wont work.

Can anyone further help me debug this problem?

I got:

”checking for ffmpeg support… yes, shared
checking for ffmpeg headers… configure: error: ffmpeg headers not found. Make sure you’ve built ffmpeg as shared libs using the –enable-shared option”

Hi

I got a problem with 12th step:

./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libogg –enable-libvorbis –disable-mmx –enable-shared

when I execute, it says:

Unknown option “–enable-libogg”.
See ./configure –help for available options.

Then I checked the –help and all the options are available except the libogg… =/ Any clue?

Much appreciated

Mike

When I install..everything is fine.

When I try and run FFMPEG command line it doesnt work for the -i option

Hello Administrator,
your article is very very good, I am trying to go as per the instructions but I got BIG ISSUE

The MAKE command doesn’t found ….

I tried to install using the
sudo apt-get install make

But then I got apt-get not found

I am stuck here form many days you help would be greatly appreciated…

Looking forward to here from you

THanks,
Justin

Man, I have had more issues with this stuff than anything I have ever installed. So I finally got it all running. But when I go to convert a video with -lavfopts i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames I get erros saying its not a option. So I removed that. And it seems to try to convert. Now I get a error about the vo_driver. To be exact. Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

I have changed the vo = “xv” in the config, I have changed it to cvidix,fbdev,yuvmpeg, etc… Non work. When I run the command to get the available video output drives I get this list.

fbdev Framebuffer Device
fbdev2 Framebuffer Device
cvidix console VIDIX
null Null video output
mpegpes Mpeg-PES to DVB card
yuv4mpeg yuv4mpeg output for mjpegtools
tga Targa output
pnm PPM/PGM/PGMYUV file
md5sum md5sum of each frame

No xv. Which seems common. I am not sure. But I have tried everything and I just really cannot get mencoder to work.

Any ideas? Anything would be appreciated. I am going crazy here trying everything to get it to work. Thanks in advance.

I followed every step to a T and when trying to verify it works I get the following errors, help anyone? Running Fedora 8:

Thank you for this wonderful post. I was beating my head on my desk for almost a week trying to get ffmpeg with faad to work!!

I have had no problems up to point 8 compile libOGG.

When I run ./configure I get a message at the bottom:

checking how to run the C++ preprocessor …./lib/cpp
configure: error: C++ preprocessor “/lib/cpp” fails sanity check.

If I try to run the make command after this I get the following error:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop

does anyone know how I can get round this. I am a linux novice so the simpler any expenations the better.

We’re working on deploying a system using ffmpeg, and so i’ve been using your instructions however I still get to
cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/
./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libogg –enable-libvorbis –disable-mmx –enable-shared –enable-amr-nb

and i continue to get
Unknown option “–enable-libogg”.
See ./configure –help for available options.

This of course gives me problems when trying to ./configure in the ffmpeg-php

Any help would be great if you know of any.

i have the same problem :

./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libogg –enable-libvorbis –disable-mmx –enable-shared

unknown option “–enable-libogg”.
See ./configure –help for available options.

please help

Hi everyone…
i did everything well from begin to
cd ~/ffmpeg/ ffmpeg-php-0.5.0
phpize
./configure
when i try ./configure command, it gives this error..
checking for ffmpeg headers… configure: error: ffmpeg headers not found. Make sure you’ve built ffmpeg as shared libs using the –enable-shared option

i searched on Google about it. i found this.
./configure –prefix=/usr
but when i try this command, it gives the same error…
i’ve build FFMPEG shared….

Notice: i can’t speak english well.. sorry.

I Solve this problem.. but i have an other error :S
my php.ini file is located in /etc/php.ini
when i installed ffmpeg i saw my extension dir is = /usr/lib/php/modules/

now… i’ve added
extension=ffmpeg.so this line then i’ve restarted httpd…
when i tried this command: php -r ‘phpinfo();’ | grep ffmpeg

it gives this error
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library ‘/usr/lib/php/modules/ffmpeg.so’ – /usr/lib/php/modules/ffmpeg.so: undefined symbol: av_free_static in Unknown on line 0

I found the solution… check out http://groups.google.com/group/ffmpeg-php/browse_thread/thread/965d68325844073a

I Need code for converting a given MPEG (Video) file in to a FLV while uploading to my web application.
Can you give me some idea about it.

Who can help me to reinstalling ffmpeg and ffmpeg-php latest versions? (i will pay for the work when its done) email me if some one can do it fast ([email protected])

For the error:

ffmpeg headers not found

it’s probably a compatibility issue. I tried use ffmpeg-php verion 0.5.31 (latest one), and it installed

sorry it didn’t exactly work, because the latest trunk of ffmpeg as of now doesn’t work with ffmpeg-php verion 0.5.31. so I checked out ffmpeg r15006 and now everything is working as expected

For those who are having problem with the tmp dir, follow this steps:

mkdir ~/tmp/
chmod 755 ~/tmp/
export TMPDIR=~/tmp

done

nagaraju.kasula – you can always use exec not necessarily convert from the php library

something like:
exec(“ffmpeg -y -i $file -f flv -s widthxheight $flv”);

solution for those who are facing below prob

*** Could not run Ogg test program, checking why…
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding Ogg or finding the wrong
*** version of Ogg. If it is not finding Ogg, you’ll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point

***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although

configure: error: must have Ogg installed!

———————-

just open /etc/profile file and put below line

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

save and exit

source /etc/profile

then do ./configure for libvorbis

PROBLEM IS LD_LIBRARY_PATH IS NOT SET
all LIBOGG files are in usr local lib folder
so just set it

cheers !!!

I was also to hire a person from Digital point for my FFMPEG work to be done. But not after reading this. Thanks.

hello,
I’m a newbie and I saw every instructions that you have posted, my question is WHERE will I input these commands? I am running my website with siteground, and I need to install ffmpeg but I REALLY don’t know how and where I will input these commands, what do I need to do this? What program do I need sir?What requirements should I have? Please help!!!

I have gotten stuck at #10 and can not get passed it… ( Does anyone still read/help on this blog??)

When I get to this point

10. Compile flvtool2
cd ~/ffmpeg/flvtool2_1.0.5_rc6
ruby setup.rb config
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install

I can go into the folder fine, however, when I type in the command:
ruby setup.rb config

I get this error: -bash: ruby: command not found

Is there another syntax that can be used other than ruby ?

Thanks a bunch. This is absolutely the best guide for installing ffmpeg and related software. I followed the instructions and were able to installed every thing on a SuSE 11.0 box.

I have tried all above given fixing steps for this error but no luck

actually error is little bit different from above on e see the last line of error

where can i find this symbol img_resample

hey shane Holloman the command to fix that is
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Well after a long run i got the solution

this error means your ffmpeg-php rpm is corrupted so i have just uninstall the previous all rpms of ffmpeg-php.

step 1
see how many rpms are there for ffmpeg-php on you system by this comand
rpm -qa | grep php

then uninstall the only ones having php-ffmpeg one by one

rpm -e php-ffmpeg-0.5.1-2.fc8.remi –nodeps

then WGET new one from here

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/12277480/com/ffmpeg-php-0.5.1-1.fc7.remi.i386.rpm.html

rpm -ivh ffmpeg-php-0.5.1-1.fc7.remi.i386.rpm

Hi All,

I got stuck with point #14 when i tried to PHPize.

PHP was already installed on my server and i am trying to install FFMPEG.

Can anyone help me quickly? I am getting the following error

Cannot find config.m4.
Make sure that you run '/usr/bin/phpize' in the top level source directory of the module

I got stuck at FFMPEG configuration. I am getting this error

Unknown option “–enable-libogg”.
See ./configure –help for available options.

Can anyone help me?

i had that problem to :

checking for pkg-config… yes

checking for pkg-config… /usr/bin/pkg-config

checking for ogg >= 1.0… Package ogg was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `ogg.pc'

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

No package 'ogg' found

checking for Ogg… no
