Well, it was meant to link with the static library only however I
admit my configure check is not that good. The FFMpeg build
the static lib by default and it's not likely you find a shared version
lying somewhere when building Wine.

If there's only a static lib then I guess it's fine. Is that the case
on all major distros?

I just dug through a bunch of distros and no one ships ffmpeg by default. 
That includes Fedora 4, SuSE 9.2/9.3, Mandriva 10.1, and Slackware 10.1. 
It's marked "optional" on Debian sarge. 
I think I ran into this same issue with xine a while ago. I believe they 
ship ffmpeg, but can't remember.

GStreamer, xine and mplayer all includes their own copy in their source 
trees, since the developers of ffmpeg are not committed to a stable api, nor 
do I think they ever will.

SUSE does not ship it for the usual legal reasons.

I would suggest making this an addon package for distributions, to drop
it right beside a normal WINE installation when needed. (with dlls and
regsvr and .inf files or so).

Ciao, Marcus

Well, do not even try to ask about a shared-library version of FFMpeg on
their development list or you will be flamed away :-)
