[Nvrec-open] nvrec can't find ffmpeg and won't compile

[Howard S. <hs...@gw...>]

Dear nvrec-open,

with the last 2 releases of nvrec and the CVS version, I get the
following error with ./configure

*******************************************************
configure: WARNING: ffmpeg not installed.  Download it from:
configure: WARNING: http://ffmpeg.sf.net/
configure: WARNING: Build it and create a symlink called ffmpeg in the
configure: WARNING: same directory where the nvrec source directory is
configure: WARNING: located.
configure: WARNING: ffmpegrec will NOT be built.
configure: WARNING: *******************************************************
configure: WARNING: ffmpeg-0.46+ not installed.  Download it from:
configure: WARNING: http://ffmpeg.sf.net/
configure: WARNING: Build it and create a symlink called ffmpeg in the
configure: WARNING: same directory where the nvrec source directory is
configure: WARNING: located.
configure: WARNING: Image format conversion will not be available.

I have installed the latest version of ffmpeg in /usr/local/bin and
there is a symbolic link in the nvrec source directory.

Further, all the versions of nvrec I tried bomb out of make with
the error:

In file included from aconv_mad.c:11:
mcplay.h:16: error: parse error before "yuv_pic_t"
mcplay.h:16: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `yuv_pic_t'
mcplay.h:16: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
make[3]: *** [aconv_mad.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

The erroneous line in mcplay.h is:

#ifdef _DECORE_H_
         typedef DEC_PICTURE yuv_pic_t;        <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
#else
#warning Including own yuv_pic definition!
         typedef struct
         {
                 void *y;
                 void *u;
                 void *v;
                 int stride_y;
                 int stride_uv;
         } yuv_pic_t;
#endif /* decore.h */

In other words, apparently decore.h (from divx4linux) does not contain
a definition of DEC_PICTURE.

My operating system is SuSE Linux 9.0.

Thanks for help.  Please reply to me directly, as I am not subscribed
to the list.
