errors when compiling c code with ffmpeg library
1 answer
After updating my ubuntu OS from 14.04 to 16.04, I installed the ffmpeg library 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
make install
It seemed to me the installation process was ok. After that, I tried to compile my own C source code with the following Makefile:
EDITTED(adding -lva-drm -lva-x11 at line 10)
FFMPEG_LIBS= libavdevice \
libavformat \
libavfilter \
libavcodec \
libswresample \
libswscale \
libavutil \
TARGET = video_analysis
LIBS = -lva -lX11 -lvdpau -lm -lva-drm -lva-x11
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 $(TARGET)
However, my compiler complained the following errors:
/root/ffmpeg_build/lib/libavutil.a(hwcontext_vaapi.o): In function `vaapi_device_create':
/home/widerstand/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg/libavutil/hwcontext_vaapi.c:896: undefined reference to `vaGetDisplay'
/home/widerstand/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg/libavutil/hwcontext_vaapi.c:917: undefined reference to `vaGetDisplayDRM'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:30: recipe for target 'video_analysis' failed
make: *** [video_analysis] Error 1
My question is: in which library do 'vaGetDisplay' and `vaGetDisplayDRM' exist? It's for sure that libva functions properly. I have no clue how to fix the bugs...Thank you in advance!
I got the exact same problem when I was trying to compile the latest ffmpeg source code examples. (2016-08-25)
When I have done compiling ffmpeg source, (all dependencies good), then I go to dir:
~/ffmpeg_build/share/ffmpeg/examples$
do:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig"
and as instructed as README:
make
I got the C files compiled to .o files but cannot get linked. Same error output as:

I checked your solution here and discovered that although ffmpeg team are using
pkg-config
tool to config, but in the end it is a gcc
command line to compile. (see the seconde line of code snippet above)
All the flags below shall be moved to the end of gcc
command line just before the -o
option:
-lX11 -lm -lvdpau -lva -lva-drm -lva-x11
So instead of compiling with the next command line:(the command is long, scroll to right to see full)
cc avio_reading.o -pthread -L/home/jack/ffmpeg_build/lib -lavdevice -lavfilter -lpostproc -lavformat -lavcodec -lvdpau -lva-drm -lva-x11 -lva -lxcb-shm -lxcb-xfixes -lxcb-render -lxcb-shape -lxcb -lXau -lXdmcp -lSDL -lasound -lpulse-simple -lpulse -lX11 -lXext -lcaca -lx265 -lstdc++ -lrt -lx264 -ldl -lvpx -lpthread -lvorbisenc -lvorbis -ltheoraenc -ltheoradec -logg -lopus -lmp3lame -lfdk-aac -lass -lharfbuzz -lfontconfig -lfribidi -lexpat -lfreetype -lpng12 -llzma -lbz2 -lz -lswresample -lswscale -lavutil -lm -o avio_reading
I move the flags to the right side end and compile with:(the command is long, scroll to right to see full)
cc avio_dir_cmd.o -pthread -L/home/jack/ffmpeg_build/lib -lavdevice -lavfilter -lpostproc -lavformat -lavcodec -lxcb-shm -lxcb-xfixes -lxcb-render -lxcb-shape -lxcb -lXau -lXdmcp -lSDL -lasound -lpulse-simple -lpulse -lXext -lcaca -lx265 -lstdc++ -lrt -lx264 -ldl -lvpx -lpthread -lvorbisenc -lvorbis -ltheoraenc -ltheoradec -logg -lopus -lmp3lame -lfdk-aac -lass -lharfbuzz -lfontconfig -lfribidi -lexpat -lfreetype -lpng12 -llzma -lbz2 -lz -lswresample -lswscale -lavutil -lX11 -lm -lvdpau -lva -lva-drm -lva-x11 -o avio_dir_cmd
And all the compile errors are gone~!
I think this is a common error when we compile other examples, or our own projects.
after adding -lva-drm and -lva-x11 into Makefile, my compiler complains no error any more :-)
