I updated this to the current version 12.1 (sorry for the delay), but on installation it ran into a collision with ffmpeg-devel that also installs similar headers into ${prefix}/include/libavcodec/*.

Also, I see this port installs a collection of static libraries (*.a) rather than the dynamic libraries preferred by MacPorts.

I'm not certain how you might want to resolve these.. I guess it would be useful to hear about what this adds that ffmpeg doesn't, how the include file problem might be solved, and how to get dynamic instead of static libraries...

All the best, Ken

For the collision, I guess it needs 'conflicts ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel' added to the portfile.

For dynamic rather than static, adding

configure.args --enable-shared --disable-static 

should do the trick.

OK. Thanks for the quick response. Not sure how this can coexist with the ubiquitous ffmpeg* ports. I'll leave this for others to decide.

I think we can close this ticket, as I don't see this making it into MacPorts as it appears that ffmpeg provides all this provides, is aggressively maintained, and conflicts with this. Please update if you feel this is not correct.
