Mencoder help

[runae]

First off I am new here I hope I post this in the right place...

I recently formatted my system (debian) and I went and did a fresh install of x264 and mplayer (x264 first of course)
(mplayer config command)

/configure --enable-crash-debug --libdir=/usr/local/lib


however

ldd /usr/local/bin/mencoder | grep x264

libx264.so.65 => not found


not sure what I did wrong because libx264.so.65 is in the /usr/local/lib directory...

if someone can help me fix this that would be great :D

Try running "ldconfig" as root (or via "sudo"), which is something you should do every time after installing a new lib :)

deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ testing main
deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ testing main


su (root)
aptitude full-upgrade

Step 2

Install (aptitude, oder synaptic)

yasm,
git, git core, git gui, gitk
gcc, gcc 4.3 - base, locales, multilib, source
checkinstall
fakeroot
build-essential
subversion
libx264-60
libx264.dev
gpac
libgpac0.4.5
libgpac-dev
ffmpeg

Step 3

git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git

cd /x264
./configure --enable-shared --enable-mp4-output --enable-pthread --enable-visualize

make
su (root)
checkinstall

Change Nr.3 checkinstall to 1:0.svn20081011

Step 4 ffmpeg

su (root)
apt-get build-dep ffmpeg
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk
cd /ffmpeg

(Example)
/configure --enable-gpl --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-shared --enable-liba52 --enable-x11grab --enable-pthreads --enable-libdc1394 --enable-libfaac --enable-libfaad --enable-libgsm --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libvorbis --enable-libtheora --enable-libxvid --enable-libx264 --enable-nonfree --enable-muxer=matroska --enable-muxer=mp4


make
make install

Step 5 mplayer



su (root)
apt-get build-dep mplayer
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
cd /mplayer
Edit in /mplayer/trunk/debian
Changelog - first Line to
mplayer (1:1.0.rc2svn20081011) unstable; urgency=low
save

Edit rules to

(Example)
configure: configure-stamp
configure-stamp:
dh_testdir
# Add here commands to configure the package.
$(checkdir)
# If you plan to install the target .deb on a wide variety of machines,
# you may want to add the "--enable-runtime-cpudetection" option to
# the line below, but beware: the resulting binary will run slower
./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer --enable-dvb --win32codecsdir=/usr/lib/win32 --enable-largefiles --enable-xshape --enable-sdl --disable-liblzo --language=de $(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)

touch configure-stamp

save

cd /mplayer
fakeroot debian/rules binary
After a while you found mplayer_1.0.rc2svn20081011_i386.deb
Install (as root) mplayer_1.0.rc2svn20081011_i386.deb
(after an error start again, but first.. fakeroot debian/rules clean)

Step 6 (This Step you need only one time)
svn mplayer and mencoder are installed. mencoder is not registered.
Install equivs

cd /dummy
equivs-control mencoder
