ffmpeg fails to install on 10.5.8

[bak]

Here's the output: http://gist.github.com/247441

Any ideas?

I can't even get x264 to compile.

Me too now. Tried again, and it fails to configure x264.

It works on 10.6, so basically it is necessary to find a revision that works on 10.5. This is tedious work, but someone has to do it, (so I'm saying, I don't want to, but will eventually if nobody else does).

What error are attempting to install x264? One machine of mine was complaining about asm but this fixed it.

brew uninstall yasm
brew install yasm
brew install x264

However I am on 10.6.1 so it may be a different error you are getting.

Following Ryan's steps (10.5.8), yasm and x264 seem to install cleanly but ffmpeg fails. Here's the full output for all 3: http://gist.github.com/251348. The pertinent section seems to be:

Creating config.mak and config.h...

I am getting errors installing also. Here is a snippet of saddness:

Just tried ffmpeg on 10.5.8, and it just compiled for me.
We're using stable commits now, so things should be OK (until we bump to newer stable commits that don't work on 10.5.)
