Description Edward Hervey 2007-02-14 08:13:45 UTC 
Since the last release, we allow people to build against an external ffmpeg, but we do NOT support those builds.

We need to add a BIG FAT WARNING about that at the end of configure, so packagers and people building gst-ffmpeg understand fully what they are exposing themselves to.


Additionally, mailing the major distribution packagers about the issues of building against external ffmpeg wouldn't hurt.

Fixed.  Anyone: feel free to improve the wording.

        * configure.ac:
          Add big fat warning message with explanation when building
          against an external copy of ffmpeg. Fixes #407779.
