This guide is based on a minimal installation of the latest CentOS release, and will provide a local, non-system installation of FFmpeg with support for several external encoding libraries. These instructions should also work for recent Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL) and Fedora. This is a non-invasive guide and undoing all steps is simple and is shown at the end of this page.

Get the Dependencies¶

Note: The # indicates that the command should be executed as superuser or root.

Get the dependencies. These are required compiling, but you can remove them when you are done if you prefer (exceptmake; it should be installed by default and many things depend on it).

# yum install autoconf automake cmake freetype-devel gcc gcc-c++ git libtool make mercurial nasm pkgconfig zlib-devel

In your home directory make a new directory to put all of the source code into:

mkdir ~/ffmpeg_sources

Compilation & Installation¶

Note: If you do not require certain encoders you may skip the relevant section and then remove the appropriate./configure option in FFmpeg. For example, if libvorbis is not needed, then skip that section and then remove--enable-libvorbis
from the
Install FFmpeg section.

Yasm¶

Yasm is an assembler used by x264 and FFmpeg.

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources
git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/yasm/yasm.git
cd yasm
autoreconf -fiv
./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --bindir="$HOME/bin"

make install
make distclean

cd lame-3.99.5
./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --bindir="$HOME/bin" --disable-shared --enable-nasm
make
make install
make distclean

cd opus
autoreconf -fiv
./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --disable-shared
make
make install
make distclean

libogg¶

Ogg bitstream library. Required by
libtheora and
libvorbis.

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources
curl -O http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ogg/libogg-1.3.2.tar.gz tar xzvf libogg-1.3.2.tar.gz
cd libogg-1.3.2
./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --disable-shared
make
make install
make distclean

libvorbis¶

Vorbis audio encoder. Requires
libogg.

Requires ffmpeg to be configured with --enable-libvorbis.

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources
curl -O http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.3.4.tar.gz tar xzvf libvorbis-1.3.4.tar.gz
cd libvorbis-1.3.4
LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/ffmeg_build/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/ffmpeg_build/include" ./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --with-ogg="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --disable-shared
make
make install
make distclean

libvpx¶

VP8/VP9 video encoder.

Requires ffmpeg to be configured with --enable-libvpx.

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources
git clone --depth 1 https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libvpx.git cd libvpx
./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --disable-examples
make
make install
make clean

遇到x265包找不到  是因为x265 编译成静态链接库 应将off改为on

Compilation is now complete and ffmpeg (also ffprobe, ffserver,lame, andx264) should now be ready to use. The rest of this guide shows how to update or remove FFmpeg.

Tip: Keep the ffmpeg_sources directory and all contents if you intend toupdate as shown below. Otherwise you
can delete this directory.

Updating¶

Development of FFmpeg is active and an occasional update can give you new features and bug fixes. First, remove the old files and then update the dependencies:

rm -rf ~/ffmpeg_build ~/bin/{ffmpeg,ffprobe,ffserver,lame,vsyasm,x264,x265,yasm,ytasm}
# yum install autoconf automake cmake gcc gcc-c++ git libtool make mercurial nasm pkgconfig zlib-devel

Update Yasm¶

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/yasm
make distclean
git pull

Then run ./configure, make, and make install as shown in theInstall yasm section.

Update x264¶

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/x264
make distclean
git pull

Then run ./configure, make, and make install as shown in theInstall x264 section.

Update x265¶

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/x265
rm -rf ~/ffmpeg_sources/x265/build/linux/*
hg update
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/x265/build/linux

Then run cmake, make, and make install as shown in theInstall x265 section.

Update libfdk_aac¶

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/fdk_aac
make distclean
git pull

Then run ./configure, make, and make install as shown in theInstall libfdk_aac section.

Update libvpx¶

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/libvpx
make clean
git pull

Then run ./configure, make, and make install as shown in theInstall libvpx section.

Update FFmpeg¶

cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg
make distclean
git pull

Then run ./configure, make, and make install as shown in theInstall FFmpeg section.

Reverting changes made by this guide¶

rm -rf ~/ffmpeg_build ~/ffmpeg_sources ~/bin/{ffmpeg,ffprobe,ffserver,lame,vsyasm,x264,yasm,ytasm}
# yum erase autoconf automake cmake gcc gcc-c++ git libtool mercurial nasm pkgconfig zlib-devel
hash -r
