Build 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=$HOME/share/ffmpeg-build
mkdir -p $PREFIX/src
libx264
cd $PREFIX/src
git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
cd x264
./configure \
--prefix=$PREFIX \
--enable-static \
--disable-lavf
make -j4
sudo checkinstall \
--pkgname=ffmpeg_build_libx264 \
--pkgversion="3:$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)-$(./version.sh | awk -F'[" ]' '/POINT/{print $4"+git"$5}')" \
--backup=no \
--fstrans=no \
--nodoc \
--default
note: You could build a 10 bit version by adding the
bit-depth option, if required
--bit-depth=10
libvpx
cd $PREFIX/src
git clone http://git.chromium.org/webm/libvpx.git
cd libvpx
./configure \
--prefix=$PREFIX
make -j4
sudo checkinstall \
--pkgname=ffmpeg_build_libvpx \

Compile for 32bit on a 64bit system
FFmpeg's onfigure script will select the correct architecture for your system's default
compiler if you do not explicitly set a compiler with
--cc=
To compile for 32bit on a 64bit system, you can for example use:
./configure - -cc='cc -m32'
