I then build ffmpeg with the following flags:
$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/master-x264-x265-minimal --enable-static
--enable-pic --disable-everything --disable-programs --enable-libx264
--enable-libx265 --enable-gpl
Hi Carl Eugen,

--enable-static has no effect and does not imply static linking.
wow, I wasn't aware of that. I guess I misunderstood the docs then.

Are you sure that you have no dynamic libraries for x264 or
x265 anywhere in the path: Most linkers will prefer them
over static libraries. An alternative is using "/path/to/lib.a" on
the linking line instead of "-L/path/to -llib".
You may want to use "ldd" to test for dynamic libraries.

Alright, I'll look into doing that. So you mean that I should add
```
--extra-libs="-L/path/to/static/libx264a -lx264"
```
right? I'll give that a shot.


Do you know what "--disable-everything" does?
nope. I though it does what it means ;)

It is a debug option, you should never use it for anything
that you distribute, use --disable-all instead (if you need
it), it implies --disable-programs.
ok, thanks a bunch for the pointer. I'll use that flag instead then.


Just curious: Does --enable-pic really have an effect?
AFAIK, yes. PIC is propagated to the compiler calls, PIC is then generated and I can bundle the library as I wish to.

Which platform is this?
I am working on fc23 right now. the static libs coming with fedora all have -fPIE enabled (if I understood the docs correctly), which doesn't help me at all.

I'll keep you posted,
P
