#98 0.8.18: Can’t compile on Ubuntu Studio 14.04.5 LTS

[Moonbase]

Hi again,

today I tried to compile the current version under Ubuntu Studio 14.04.5 LTS but I get an error in make:

avcodecdecode.c:608:79: error: 'AVStream' has no member named 'codecpar'
     if (avcodec_parameters_to_context(self->c, self->ic->streams[self->stream]->codecpar) < 0) {

Attached are the outputs from

./bootstrap

and

./configure CFLAGS="-O2" --prefix=/usr

Probably compiles with:

./configure --disable-libav

The ffmpeg libraries supported by your Ubuntu Studio are too old.

FYI: The same still happens under Ubuntu 16.04, unless you compile (or install from a PPA) ffmpeg3 first. Had no chance to try under Ubuntu 18.04 yet.
