Question

I have got many errors while installing shotdetect software. some errors were because of the dependencies and that is resolved.Its able to configure perfect but “make” i.e., running make file is throwin this error.
error : ffmpeg/avcodec.h No such file or Directory
ffmpeg/avformat.h No such file or Directory

May be its because ffmpeg or shotdetect software versions are different. I tried re-installing the latest (and old ffmpeg) ones but not able to find ffmpeg folder in my /usr/include/ and that is why there is no such file “ffmpeg/avcodec.h”.
Please help.

Answer 1

I got the solution..
I made a folder ffmpeg in my /usr/include/ and included all the files from /usr/include/libavcodec.. etc in /usr/include/ffmpeg/.. finally it is working.
Following steps will help installing s/w in ubuntu 10.x and 11.x

Install ShotDetection software

1. Install Dependencies
   

   sudo apt-cache search gcc
   sudo aptitude install build-essential
   sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavformat-dev pacman libgd2-noxpm-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev cmake libswscale-dev libjasper-dev

2. make a folder named ffmpeg in /usr/include/ and copy essential files

cd /usr/include/
sudo mkdir ffmpeg  
sudo cp /usr/include/libavcodec/*  /usr/include/ffmpeg/
sudo cp /usr/include/libavformat/*  /usr/include/ffmpeg/
sudo cp /usr/include/libswscale/*  /usr/include/ffmpeg/

3. Download and install shotdetect software

    cd /var/www/

   wget http://shotdetect.nonutc.fr/releases/latest.tar.gz
   tar xvzf latest.tar.gz
   cd shotdetect-1.0.86
   ./configure
   make
   sudo make install

4. check in /usr/local/bin/ shotdetect executable file should be there.
