Description

I tried to compile revision 16597 with a newer ffmpeg (I had revision 12442) already installed on my system and if failed with this error message:

In file included from mpeg/pespacket.cpp:9:

When I move the "offending" header files out of the way, mythtv compiles without an error.

It seems like two things come together here:

ffmpeg recently changed the location of their header files from {systempath}/include/ffmpeg to {systempath}/include/libav(codec|device|format|util)

The systemwide installed headerfile avcodec.h takes precedence over mythtv's own avcodec.h in mythtv/libs/libavcodec.

I was just able to confirm this behavior in the 0.21 release. The reason it's going to the system path is because the relative path in libs/libmythtv/mpeg/pespacket.cpp is wrong. It is ../libavcodec/avcodec.h where it should be ../../libavcodec/avcodec.h.

Replying to anonymous:

The problem was fixed in 0.21.fixes a few weeks after my report. I am now running mythtv revision 17789 with ffmpeg 0.4.9 revision 15375 and mythtv compiles fine.
