Thanks Ron, Here is what I grep'd: [root@brain mjpegtools-1.5-20011214]# uname Linux [root@brain mjpegtools-1.5-20011214]# grep HAVE_V4L config.h #define HAVE_V4L 1 [root@brain lavtools]# grep LAVPLAY Makefile -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"lavtools\" -DLAVPLAY_VERSION=\"$(VERSION)\" \ $(LAVPLAY_LIB_FILE) $(LAVPLAY_BIN) $(LAVREC_BIN) lav2wav lav2yuv \ LAVPLAY_LIB_FILE = liblavplay.la # LAVPLAY_LIB_FILE = LAVPLAY_BIN = lavplay # LAVPLAY_BIN = [root@brain lavtools]# grep LAVREC Makefile lib_LTLIBRARIES = liblavfile.la liblavjpeg.la $(LAVREC_LIB_FILE) \ $(LAVPLAY_BIN) $(LAVREC_BIN) lav2wav lav2yuv \ LAVREC_LIB_FILE = liblavrec.la # LAVREC_LIB_FILE = LAVREC_BIN = lavrec testrec lavvideo # LAVREC_BIN = [root@brain lavtools]# grep LAV Makefile.am -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=\"lavtools\" -DLAVPLAY_VERSION=\"$(VERSION)\" \ LAVREC_LIB_FILE = liblavrec.la LAVREC_LIB_FILE = LAVPLAY_LIB_FILE = liblavplay.la LAVPLAY_LIB_FILE = lib_LTLIBRARIES = liblavfile.la liblavjpeg.la $(LAVREC_LIB_FILE) \ $(LAVPLAY_LIB_FILE) LAV_ALL_LIB_OPTS = \ liblavfile_la_LDFLAGS = $(LAV_ALL_LIB_OPTS) \ liblavjpeg_la_LDFLAGS = $(LAV_ALL_LIB_OPTS) $(JPEG_LIBS) liblavrec_la_LDFLAGS = $(LAV_ALL_LIB_OPTS) liblavplay_la_LDFLAGS = $(LAV_ALL_LIB_OPTS) GLAV_BIN = glav GLAV_BIN = LAVREC_BIN = lavrec testrec lavvideo LAVREC_BIN = LAVPLAY_BIN = lavplay LAVPLAY_BIN = $(LAVPLAY_BIN) $(LAVREC_BIN) lav2wav lav2yuv \ yuvmedianfilter lavaddwav lavtrans $(GLAV_BIN) \ I'm no autoconf automake wizard but these look like they should have built and installed the binaries. I'm going through some of the steps again. .... Maybe this is hosing me. [root@brain mjpegtools-1.5-20011214]# ./autogen.sh You must have automake version 1.5 or greater installed. Download the appropriate package for your distribution, or get the source tarball at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/ I'll install 1.5 and try again. More to come.

Erm.... lavplay/lavrec are disabled when you're not on a linux machine. What does 'uname' tell you? It should say "Linux". Please check mjpegtools-1.5-20011214/config.h, is HAVE_V4L defined there? /* whether we're in linux or not (video4linux?) */ #define HAVE_V4L 1 Also, check mjpegtools-1.5-20011214/lavtools/Makefile and search for lines like: LAVPLAY_LIB_FILE = liblavplay.la #LAVPLAY_LIB_FILE = LAVREC_LIB_FILE = liblavrec.la #LAVREC_LIB_FILE = LAVREC_BIN = lavrec testrec lavvideo #LAVREC_BIN = LAVPLAY_BIN = lavplay #LAVPLAY_BIN = If they're different, something is wrong ;-) Ronald
