From cf52bd68b7e24b87cd68a03f8fad4c7d49d19582 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Poonthong Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2021 21:30:10 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] Include missing documentation for yasm in INSTALL.md When I run the `./configure` I got this error: jan@jan-H110M-DS2:~/Downloads/ffmpeg$ ./configure nasm/yasm not found or too old. Use --disable-x86asm for a crippled build. If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.libera.chat. Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help solve the problem. After installing `yasm` on to my machine the `./configure` worked. It would be nice to have a documentation about things that user needed in order to run `./configure`. --- INSTALL.md | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/INSTALL.md b/INSTALL.md index 3b220bc6ff..29f49b1195 100644 --- a/INSTALL.md +++ b/INSTALL.md @@ -1,15 +1,21 @@ ## Installing FFmpeg -1.
