Users don't need to read that message.

Blocked by upstream bug, we can't eautoreconf cause somebody decided that autotools are not good enough for ffmpeg. Next release will have an autogen.sh which we can use.

Untill then, it's fixed in the way one does not speak about.



(I patched configure directly)

Please don't do that and just set AT_NO_RECURSIVE just like you set AT_M4DIR when running eautoreconf. That was fine for me iirc.

Needs fixing again. It spends more time sleeping than compiling.

We don't use system ffmpeg anymore, so this bug doesn't apply. If we do need to use system ffmpeg again, we'll do an alias or something.

Closing for now, thanks for reporting.
