I've installed ffmpeg library in my new ubuntu 16.04 OS. When I tried to compile my c code, I got the following strange errors:

I've reinstalled ffmpeg library multiple times using the following configurations:
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig" ./configure \
--prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" \
--pkg-config-flags="--static" \
--extra-cflags="-I$HOME/ffmpeg_build/include" \
--extra-ldflags="-L$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib" \
--bindir="$HOME/bin" \
--enable-gpl \
--enable-libass \
--enable-libfdk-aac \
--enable-libfreetype \
--enable-libmp3lame \
--enable-libopus \
--enable-libtheora \
--enable-libvorbis \
--enable-libvpx \
--enable-libx264 \
--enable-nonfree
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" make
The installation process was successful each time. But when I tried to compile my own c code, I always encountered the same errors as mentioned above. I have no idea about that... Here is the makefile I used:
EDIT:
FFMPEG_LIBS= libavdevice \
libavformat \
libavfilter \
libavcodec \
libswresample \
libswscale \
libavutil \
TARGET = video_analysis
LIBS = -lX11 -lm -lvdpau -lva
CC = gcc
CFLAGS += -O2 -g -O0
CFLAGS := $(shell pkg-config --cflags $(FFMPEG_LIBS)) $(CFLAGS)
LDLIBS := $(shell pkg-config --libs $(FFMPEG_LIBS)) $(LDLIBS)
.PHONY: default all clean
default: $(TARGET)
all: default
OBJECTS = $(patsubst %.c, %.o, $(wildcard *.c))
HEADERS = $(wildcard *.h)
%.o: %.c $(HEADERS)
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $@
.PRECIOUS: $(TARGET) $(OBJECTS)
$(TARGET): $(OBJECTS)
$(CC) $(OBJECTS) $(LDLIBS) $(LIBS) -o $@
clean:
-rm -f *.o
-rm -f $(TARGET)
EDIT:
Afer swapping $(LIBS) and $(LDLIBS) to be $(LDLIBS) $(LIBS) at line 30, it looks much better, but the compiler still reports the following errors:
/root/ffmpeg_build/lib/libavutil.a(hwcontext_vaapi.o): In function `vaapi_device_create':
/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg/libavutil/hwcontext_vaapi.c:896: undefined reference to `vaGetDisplay'
/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg/libavutil/hwcontext_vaapi.c:917: undefined reference to `vaGetDisplayDRM'
I have no idea which library is still missing? It looks as if libva were still missing?... I got the answer by myself...Have a look at here: errors of 'vaGetDisplay' and `vaGetDisplayDRM'
