cp ffpresets/* /my/ffmpeg-0.5.1/share/ffmpeg

Edit Makefile, replace “install -c” with “install”:

1
vi Makefile

gmake install should now run with no errors:

gmake install >>mylog.txt
ln -s /my/ffmpeg-0.5.1 /my/ffmpeg
exit
echo "export PATH=/my/ffmpeg/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.profile

Congrats! FFmpeg should be built successfully!
