Unable to compile HandBrake from source on Fedora 17

Post by kamauallan »

I have obtained the latest copy of HandBrake code from svn repository.
When I compile this code under Fedora 17, I get the error displayed at the end of this text.

I started by updating some packages using the command below.
"yum -y install yasm zlib-devel bzip2-devel fribidi-devel dbus-glib-devel libgudev1-devel webkitgtk-devel libnotify-devel gstreamer-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel libsamplerate-devel libtheora-devel libass-devel libvorbis-devel"


My configure command is as follows "date;time ./configure --prefix=/apps/HandBrake/handbrake-svn.20131208 --force;date;"
