Building the latest x264 failed for me on MacOS X with this link error:  I have faac / faad2 installed.  I just discovered x264 several months ago and had no trouble with the initial build.  I assumed that running "./configure" updated the code with git, but now I believe I was mistaken about that … the latest ffmpeg build complained that I needed x264 >=-0.83.  

Anyway, what do I need to install to get x264 to build?  I added /usr/local/lib, the location of faac / faad2 to the path in hopes it would solve the link error, but no suck luck…

Hi,

 

When I try to compile x264, I get a compiliation error. It appears it can't reference lame properly, and I can't figure out why. What could be the problem? My compilation error follows. Thanks
