I was trying to fix header issues introduced in newer versions (headers moving to subdirs). I passed compilation with just changing avformat.h included to libavformat/avformat.h. When I tried to preview a video, Jubler crashed with /usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.6/bin/java: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/jubler/libffdecode.so: undefined symbol: img_convert error. A quicksearch shows that there has been the same issue with other projects (some of them are fixed)

The exact snapshot date is 20080326.

Thanks,

FFMPEG has obsoleted some functions... like img_convert.

Do you try to compile the static or the dynamic version of ffdecode library?

Found something that mplayer has done for fix.

Problem fixed in the SVN version of Jubler

Builds fine with specified ffmpeg version (linking to system installed) but fails with bundled ffmpeg. Also fails with "undefined symbol: sws_getCachedContext" at runtime when linked to system installed ffmpeg.

Bundled ffmpeg might not be the same version, since it's under different repository - don't worry about it, it will work.
The importand part is to link propely in your system.
About the undefined symbol: did you rememeber to "--enable-swscaler" like what you pointed out to me earlier?

There seems to be a typo in the ebuild[1]. It should be --enable-swscaler not --enable-swscale. I'll examine my system to see if it's really not installed. And report the issue to Gentoo. And I'll reply if that fixes the issue (will test it by locally editing the ebuild.)

I now examined and saw that my assumption was wrong (--enable-swscaler is renamed to --enable-swscale now) The reason is swscale is not given as a parameter to pkgconfig and libffdecode doesn't get link to swscaler. Here's a patch to fix the issue.
