Build ffmpeg using yocto

Question

I am trying to build ffmpeg for an ARM SoC. Therefore I am using yocto with following recipe:

SUMMARY = "FFMPEG"
HOMEPAGE = "http://ffmpeg.org"

LICENSE = "GPLv2"
#LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING.GPLv2"

#SECTION = "net"
#DEPENDS = "sqlite3-native glib-2.0 zlib libpcre spawn-fcgi fcgi"

S = "${WORKDIR}/git"

SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"

SRC_URI = "git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git;branch=release/2.8 \
        "


PACKAGECONFIG[--build] = ""

EXTRA_OECONF = " \
             --extra-ldflags=-static \
             --extra-cflags=-static \
             --disable-mipsfpu \
             --disable-mips32r2 \
             --disable-mipsdspr1 \
             --disable-mipsdspr2 \
             --enable-bzlib \
             --enable-zlib \
"

inherit autotools pkgconfig

Building this recipe throws following errer:

Unknown option "--build=x86_64-linux`

How can I remove this configuration flag from do_configure? Or is there any other way to build ffmpeg ?

Answer 1

If you're using yocto (as you said) it would be best to simply include the ffmpeg package in your image using:

IMAGE_INSTALL += "ffmpeg"

This should work because ffmpeg is available in the poky repository.

If you need a specific version of ffmpeg , IMHO it is the best way to adapt the available recipe to your needs ( https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-multimedia/ffmpeg ).
