Without running configure, it didn't work for me anymore. On ffmpeg-devel the feedback was to run configure. I'm thus compressing the explanation a little bit here. Also new users should just get 1 preferred and supported way to run stuff, so I'm just showing 2 examples of running fate with make/environment variable settings. >From ae00d070df0721f37cc0376f02cd629e293f7290 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adam Koszek <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:52:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Fix explanation on how to run fate.
