Download Tarballs to ‘src’ directory:

1 cd /usr/local/src

2 wget https://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/17497/flvtool2-1.0.6.tgz

3 wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/lame/lame/3.98.4/lame-3.98.4.tar.gz

4 wget https://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/mplayer-export-snapshot.tar.bz2

5 wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ffmpeg-php/ffmpeg-php/0.6.0/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2

6 wget https://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ogg/libogg-1.2.0.tar.gz

7 wget https://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/libvorbis-1.3.1.tar.gz

8 wget https://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20071007.tar.bz2

9 wget https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-0.6.tar.gz

 

Un-tar sources:

1 tar xvzf flvtool2-1.0.6.tgz

2 tar xvzf lame-3.98.4.tar.gz

3 tar jxvf ffmpeg-php-0.6.0.tbz2

4 tar xvzf libogg-1.2.0.tar.gz

5 tar xvzf libvorbis-1.3.1.tar.gz

6 tar jxvf essential-20071007.tar.bz2

7 tar jxvf mplayer-export-snapshot.tar.bz2

8 tar xvzf ffmpeg-0.6.tar.gz

 

Make a directory to store all the codecs:

1 # mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs/

 

Install any necessary packages:

1 yum install gcc gmake make libcpp libgcc libstdc++ gcc4 gcc4-c++ ncurses-devel

 

Copy codecs for mplayer:

1 mv /usr/local/src/essential-20071007/* /usr/local/lib/codecs/

2 chmod -R 755 /usr/local/lib/codecs/

 

Installing Lame:

1 cd /usr/local/src/lame-3.98.4

2 ./configure

3 make && make install

 

Installing Libogg:

1 cd /usr/local/src/libogg*

2 ./configure && make && make install

3 Installing libvorbis:

view source

print?

1 cd /usr/local/src/libvorbis*

2 ./configure && make && make install

 

Installing flvtool2:

1 cd /usr/local/src/flvtool*

2 ruby setup.rb config

3 ruby setup.rb setup

4 ruby setup.rb install

 

Installing mplayer:

1 # cd /usr/local/src/mplayer*

2 ./configure && make && make install

 

Installing ffmpeg PHP module

1 cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-*

2 ./configure –enable-libmp3lame –enable-libvorbis –disable-mmx –enable-shared

 

(If you need to customize your install, run “./configure –help” to see a complete list of the available flags)

1 make && make install

 

 

1 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.50 /usr/lib/libavformat.so.50

2 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.51 /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51

3 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavutil.so.49 /usr/lib/libavutil.so.49

4 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0

5 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.51 /usr/lib/libavformat.so.51

 

Installing ffmpeg-php:

1 # cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php*

2 phpize

3 ./configure

 

There’s a small issue in this version of ffmpeg-php which, when “make” is run, will cause the following error:

1 gcc -I. -I/usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0 -DPHP_ATOM_INC -I/usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/include -I/usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/main -I/usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0 -I/usr/include/php -I/usr/include/php/main -I/usr/include/php/TSRM -I/usr/include/php/Zend -I/usr/include/php/ext -I/usr/include/php/ext/date/lib -I/usr/local/include/libavcodec/ -I/usr/local/include/libavformat/ -I/usr/local/include/libavutil/ -I/usr/local/include/libswscale/ -I/usr/local/include/libavfilter/ -I/usr/local/include/libavdevice/ -I/usr/include/php -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -c /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ffmpeg_frame.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/ffmpeg_frame.o

2 /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ffmpeg_frame.c: In function ‘zim_ffmpeg_frame_toGDImage’:

3 /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ffmpeg_frame.c:336: error: ‘PIX_FMT_RGBA32’ undeclared (first use in this function)

4 /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ffmpeg_frame.c:336: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

5 /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ffmpeg_frame.c:336: error: for each function it appears in.)

6 /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ffmpeg_frame.c: In function ‘zim_ffmpeg_frame_ffmpeg_frame’:

7 /usr/local/src/ffmpeg-php-0.6.0/ffmpeg_frame.c:421: error: ‘PIX_FMT_RGBA32’ undeclared (first use in this function)

8 make: *** [ffmpeg_frame.lo] Error 1

 

To correct this issue, we’ll update ffmpeg_frame.c and replace every instance of PIX_FMT_RGBA32 with PIX_FMT_RGB32

1 vi ffmpeg_frame.c

2 :%s/PIX_FMT_RGBA32/PIX_FMT_RGB32

3 :w :q!

 

Now we can proceed with compiling:

1 make

2 make install

 

Now that we’ve compiled, let’s make sure that ffmpeg.so is in the proper extensions directory:

1 php -i | grep extensions

2 /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613

 

Now we’ll tell PHP that it needs to load our module:

1 echo ‘extension=ffmpeg.so’ >> /usr/local/lib/php.ini

 

Restart Apache:

1 service httpd restart

 

Now we’ll do a quick list of the modules to ensure that ffmpeg-php is loaded:

1 php -m | grep ffmpeg

2 ffmpeg

All done!
