configure gives the following error: ERROR: You have version of FFmpeg installed, with swscale enabled. This setup isn't supported! Version 51.11.0 or newer is required, enabling swscale if >= 52.0.0. You can install libswscale from http://ffmpeg.org or .deb users: apt-get install libswscale-dev configure: error: Please install required packages It looks like gnash-0.8.9-ffmpeg-detection.patch is supposed to fix this, but that patch doesn't seem to do anything useful: it just sets avcodec_version_h, which is never used. I believe that variable was first added in http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnash.git/commit/?id=27a4e1f6a5b50e35af8fa29f9cd9fabf5ee777bd , which should perhaps be added to the ebuild.

I added the patch to the ebuild. Please reopen if building gnash still fails.
Still not building, failing with the same message as before. I'm running on ~amd64 no-multilib hardened. Please reopen. # ffmpeg --version FFmpeg version 0.6.90-rc0, Copyright (c) 2000-2011 the FFmpeg developers built on Apr 5 2011 17:25:11 with gcc 4.4.5
Same for ~ppc64
Created attachment 269157 [details, diff] gnash-0.8.9-look-harder-for-version_h.patch This patch will make configure detect ffmpeg correctly on Gentoo. However, there still appears to be a build failure at a later point.
The configure error has been fixed, so I am closing this bug. For the linker error, I have opened bug 362949.
