Hi Heinz,

Since you're updating the SlackBuild, I wonder if you would consider a
change to the way optional features are handled?

Unlike many other softwares, ffmpeg is quite good at detecting any
necessary support packages needed to enable the various features. It
assumes (and I believe this is a good assumption) that if all the
conditions for a particular feature are present on the build machine,
then that feature will be enabled unless it has been specifically
disabled in the ./configure ... line.

At the moment many features are disabled in the SlackBuild by lines like:
libfrei0r=""; [ "${FREI0R:-no}" != "no" ] && libfrei0r="--enable-frei0r"

Would you consider removing all those lines so that all available
features can be enabled rather than disabled? At the moment I have to
edit the SlackBuild quite a bit, or have a very long (error prone)
command line to re-enable all the features that should be included.


I'm sorry, that's actually a dopey request. I've had my version edited for so long (to set all those options to "yes") that I thought it would be good just to remove all the option setting code without realising that these are options that ffmpeg does _not_ detect automagically.

Therefore, could I request instead that those options default to "yes"? It would also need the relevant packages names added to the .info file.
