| FFmpeg examples README | |
| ---------------------- | |
| Both following use cases rely on pkg-config and make, thus make sure | |
| that you have them installed and working on your system. | |
| Method 1: build the installed examples in a generic read/write user directory | |
| Copy to a read/write user directory and just use "make", it will link | |
| to the libraries on your system, assuming the PKG_CONFIG_PATH is | |
| correctly configured. | |
| Method 2: build the examples in-tree | |
| Assuming you are in the source FFmpeg checkout directory, you need to build | |
| FFmpeg (no need to make install in any prefix). Then just run "make examples". | |
| This will build the examples using the FFmpeg build system. You can clean those | |
| examples using "make examplesclean" | |
| If you want to try the dedicated Makefile examples (to emulate the first | |
| method), go into doc/examples and run a command such as | |
| PKG_CONFIG_PATH=pc-uninstalled make. | |
