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
These are required compiling, but you can remove them when you are done if you prefer (except make; 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 bzip2
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 && make install make distclean
libx264
H.264 video encoder. See the H.264 Encoding Guide for more information and usage examples.
Requires ffmpeg to be configured with --enable-gpl --enable-libx264.
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources git clone --depth 1 git://git.videolan.org/x264 cd x264PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig"./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --bindir="$HOME/bin" --enable-staticmake && make install make distclean
libx265
H.265/HEVC video encoder. See the H.265 Encoding Guide for more information and usage examples.
Requires ffmpeg to be configured with --enable-gpl --enable-libx265.
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources hg clone https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265 cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/x265/build/linux cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" -DENABLE_SHARED:bool=off ../../source make make install
libfdk_aac
AAC audio encoder.
Requires ffmpeg to be configured with --enable-libfdk-aac (and --enable-nonfree if you also included --enable-gpl).
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources git clone --depth 1 git://git.code.sf.net/p/opencore-amr/fdk-aac cd fdk-aac autoreconf -fiv ./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --disable-shared make && make install && make distclean
libmp3lame
MP3 audio encoder.
Requires ffmpeg to be configured with --enable-libmp3lame.
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources curl -L -O http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lame/lame/3.99/lame-3.99.5.tar.gz tar xzvf lame-3.99.5.tar.gz cd lame-3.99.5 ./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --bindir="$HOME/bin" --disable-shared --enable-nasm make make install make distclean
libopus
Opus audio decoder and encoder.
Requires ffmpeg to be configured with --enable-libopus.
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources git clone git://git.opus-codec.org/opus.git cd opus autoreconf -fiv ./configure --prefix="$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="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --disable-shared make make install make distclean
libvpx
VP8/VP9 video encoder.
Requires ffmpeg to be configured with --enable-libvpx.
地址要改为https://github.com/webmproject/libvpx/ git clone https://github.com/webmproject/libvpx
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources git clone --depth 1 https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libvpx.git cd libvpx ./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --disable-examples make make install make clean
FFmpeg
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources git clone --depth 1 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg cd ffmpeg PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig" ./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --extra-cflags="-I$HOME/ffmpeg_build/include" --extra-ldflags="-L$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib" --bindir="$HOME/bin" --pkg-config-flags="--static" --enable-gpl --enable-nonfree --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libfreetype --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libopus --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 make && make install && make distclean hash -r
Compilation is now complete and ffmpeg (also ffprobe, ffserver, lame, and x264) should now be ready to use. The rest of this guide shows how to update or remove FFmpeg.
编译完成后，会：
Tip: Keep the ffmpeg_sources directory and all contents if you intend to update 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 the Install yasm section.
Update x264
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/x264 make distclean git pull
Then run ./configure, make, and make install as shown in the Install 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 the Install x265 section.
Update libfdk_aac
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/fdk_aac make distclean git pull
Then run ./configure, make, and make install as shown in the Install libfdk_aac section.
Update libvpx
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/libvpx make clean git pull
Then run ./configure, make, and make install as shown in the Install libvpx section.
Update FFmpeg
cd ~/ffmpeg_sources/ffmpeg make distclean git pull
Then run ./configure, make, and make install as shown in the Install 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
