Error we got while doing the ffmpeg installation on CentOS 7

Looking for Linux Server Admin or WordPress Expert? We can help.

I used the following command to install x264 and x264 is used to encode video files in mp4, m4v, h.264 (HD) output format.

cd /usr/local/src/hostonnet/
wget ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/x264/snapshots/last_x264.tar.bz2
tar xvf last_x264.tar.bz2
cd /usr/local/src/hostonnet/x264-snapshot-*
make clean && make distclean
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
make && make install

and I got the following error

filters/video/resize.c: In function ‘pick_closest_supported_csp’:
filters/video/resize.c:215:30: error: ‘AVComponentDescriptor’ has no member named ‘depth’
         if( pix_desc->comp[i].depth > 8 )
                              ^
make: *** [filters/video/resize.o] Error 1

We tried with different versions

https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/last_stable_x264.tar.bz2
https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/last_x264.tar.bz2
https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/x264-snapshot-20050824-2219.tar.bz2

Here is the another error we received when using https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/x264-snapshot-20050825-2245.tar.bz2

x264.c:814:17: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of ‘parse_cqm’ differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign] b_error |= parse_cqm( optarg, param->cqm_8py, 64 ); ^ x264.c:321:12: note: expected ‘uint8_t *’ but argument is of type ‘int8_t *’ static int parse_cqm( const char *str, uint8_t *cqm, int length ) ^ gcc -Wall -I. -O4 -ffast-math -D_X264_ -DHAVE_MALLOC_H -DHAVE_MMXEXT -DHAVE_SSE2 -DARCH_X86_64 -DSYS_LINUX -s -fomit-frame-pointer -DHAVE_GETOPT_LONG=1 -c -o matroska.o matroska.c gcc -o x264 x264.o matroska.o libx264.a -lm -s install -d /usr/bin /usr/lib /usr/include install -m 644 x264.h /usr/include install -m 644 libx264.a /usr/lib install x264 /usr/bin ranlib /usr/lib/libx264.a

Again we tested with older version ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/x264-snapshot-20050824-2245.tar.bz2 and it was working.

cd /usr/local/src/hostonnet/
wget ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/snapshots/x264-snapshot-20050824-2245.tar.bz2
tar xvf x264-snapshot-20050824-2245.tar.bz2
cd /usr/local/src/hostonnet/x264-snapshot-*
make clean && make distclean
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared
make && make install

Another error was

esolving ftp6.nero.com (ftp6.nero.com)... 62.93.193.115
Connecting to ftp6.nero.com (ftp6.nero.com)|62.93.193.115|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Foun

When running the below command

cd /usr/local/src/hostonnet/
wget -c http://ftp6.nero.com/tools/NeroDigitalAudio.zip
unzip NeroDigitalAudio.zip -d nero
cd /usr/local/src/hostonnet/nero/linux
install -D -m755 neroAacEnc /usr/bin

I solved the error by replacing the Nero download link with http://ftp6.nero.com/tools/NeroAACCodec-1.5.1.zip

cd /usr/local/src/hostonnet/
wget -c http://ftp6.nero.com/tools/NeroAACCodec-1.5.1.zip
unzip NeroDigitalAudio.zip -d nero
cd /usr/local/src/hostonnet/nero/linux
install -D -m755 neroAacEnc /usr/bin
