OSX:buildFFmpeg @Jun 3, 2011 4:32:28 PM

This is tested on Mac OS 10.6.7 (a Mac Book Pro and a MacMini)

Install Xcode 3 - you don't need to spend $5 on Xcode 4

xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg

Install MacPorts

MacPorts-1.9.2-10.6-SnowLeopard.dmg

If you cannot rsync, for instance if you're in a corporation where its hard to get through firewalls, then edit /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf replacing the default entry at the end of the file

sudo vim /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf [...] #rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ [default] http://www.macports.org/files/ports.tar.gz [default]

Sync the MacPorts sources, if you are in a corporation that has a proxy server you might need to set the http_proxy environment variable as I have done in this example:

sudo http_proxy=http://www-cache.reith.bbc.co.uk:80 /opt/local/bin/port -d sync

To access source files for building parts of FFmpeg, git might need access through a SOCKS proxy:

sudo http_proxy=http://www-cache.reith.bbc.co.uk:80 /opt/local/bin/port install tsocks

Then, when you have to do a git clone or a git pull do this instead:

tsocks git clone git:// OR tsocks git pull

and edit /etc/tsocks.conf. For example, in a corporation you might need to add something like:

local = 132.0.0.0/255.0.0.0

to the local block near the top and change server and server_port to

server = 132.185.136.18 server_port = 1085

Build other libraries

Decide and create the place where you are going to do all your building, and set an environment variable so that it is easy to script the install:

export PREFIX=/usr/local

sudo mkdir $PREFIX/src

sudo chgrp staff $PREFIX/src

sudo chmod g+w $PREFIX/src

libx264

cd $PREFIX/src

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

cd x264

./configure \

 --prefix=/usr/local \

 --enable-shared

make

make install

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/ \

PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin/ \
