Yes, Ubuntu 10.04.
I did the whereis command and only received the following
Code:
$ whereis qt-faststart
qt-faststart:
So I guess it is not installed.
By the way, when I was using your terrific guide at the top of this thread for Lucid, I would get an error saying something like "y is not a valid something something for deldoc" (sorry, I can't remember the exact error and it was several hours ago). I didn't use "--deldoc=y" I used "--deldoc=yes" as you have it, so I don't understand that error.
I tried to install ffmpeg and qt-faststart without the --deldoc=yes switch. ffmpeg works for me, it's just qt-faststart that doesn't.
Edit to add: figured it out -- I cut off the end of the checkinstall line when I pasted it, thinking the "> >" printed needed to be deleted. Same issue with what I did with the qt-faststart below.

edited this post to remove my install log since below I figured out what happened.
Re: HOWTO: Install and use the latest FFmpeg and x264
Arg. Now I see what happened. Apparently the file was misnamed somehow -- once just now, and again earlier today.
In /usr/local/bin
Code:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10472 2010-09-18 00:27 qt-fasts
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 20310 2010-09-17 15:51 qt-faststa
Dumb mistake, I cut off the end of the line when pasting.

Hi FakeOutdoorsman,
Congratulations on your work again appearing in the FFmpeg source:
Code:
andrew@skamandros~$ svn log -r 25142 svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk

Remove legacy x264 presets
Since we now have the official x264 presets in ffmpeg, there's no reason to
keep around the old ones.
Patch by Lou Logan <lou AT fakeoutdoorsman DOT com>.

All the best,
Andrew

Thanks, but my patches are incredibly simple. This one deleted some files. You can always find something interesting when trawling the logs.

Re: HOWTO: Install and use the latest FFmpeg and x264
Hi Hendrikx
I followed your instructions.
When I tried to compile there was an error:-
Code:
ron@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/ron/Downloads/lame-3.98.4
ron@ubuntu:~/Downloads/lame-3.98.4$ dpkg-buildpackage -b
dpkg-buildpackage: set CFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set CPPFLAGS to default value:
dpkg-buildpackage: set LDFLAGS to default value: -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions
dpkg-buildpackage: set FFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: set CXXFLAGS to default value: -g -O2
dpkg-buildpackage: source package lame
dpkg-buildpackage: source version 3.98.4+debian-0ubuntu3
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Rogério Brito <rbrito@users.sf.net>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libsndfile1-dev
dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting.
So I went into Synaptic and installed libsndfile1-dev.
After that, everything went OK.
Thanks

Is this guide applicable to maverick?

Yes. Fortunately Maverick is easier and has fewer steps than Lucid because it has newer packages in the repository. The first page of this thread has been changed to Maverick and Lucid has been "archived".
I suppose I'll continue to create a page for each Ubuntu release, but I can't guarantee support for all of them...but the rolling release model is still tempting (just like the distros).
