FFMPEG iOS 7 Library

Question

I've tried reading many tutorials. I've spent hours on google, and stackoverflow trying answer. So far I've read: Trying to compile the FFMPEG libraries for iPhoneOS platform with armv6 and arv7 architecture FFMPEG integration on iphone/ ipad project and https://github.com/lajos/iFrameExtractor few of the many.

I'm trying to build this library for iOS 7/Xcode 5 compatibility but it's not working. A common error I'd get is:

Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
yasm/nasm not found or too old. Use --disable-yasm for a crippled build.

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
[e-mail] mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solving the problem.

I'd also get many more once that is finished. Such as:

rm: illegal option -- .
usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dPRrvW] file ...
       unlink file
make: *** [clean] Error 64

I've mostly tried using this command to start, but it always crashes on "make clean":

./configure \
--cc=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc \
--as='/usr/local/bin/gas-preprocessor.pl /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc' \

Answer 1

To use the mooncatventures (our) ffmpegdecoderFramework, go into build settings click on the arch and remove the armv7s.

you must also change build active architechure only to no.

This answer from mientus worked for me : https://stackoverflow.com/a/19370679/661720

Support universal ffmpeg library for iOS7 and XCode5:

Install gas-preprocessor

Click on the ZIP icon to download https://github.com/mansr/gas-preprocessor. Copy gas-preprocessor.pl to /usr/bin directory. Change permission of gas-preprocessor.pl by setting the privilege to Read & Write for all.

Download my shell script from: https://gist.github.com/m1entus/6983547

Run sh build-ffmpeg.sh.
