ERROR: libvmaf >= 1.3.9 not found using pkg-config

[vdvisa]

Hi, I downloaded vmaf library from https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf and followed instructions to install the libvmaf.a. Then downloaded the latest ffmpeg code and using

./configure --enable-debug=1 --disable-asm --enable-libvmaf --enable-version3 --disable-optimizations

to configure, but see an error:

ERROR: libvmaf >= 1.3.9 not found using pkg-config

Why are you compiling vmaf and ffmpeg separate from the suite? vmaf is already included in the suite and compiling outside of the suite is outside the scope of this suite and if you really want to, it would be better to take this to a forum or to libvmaf.

If you really want to, you can run mintty at the root of the suite with

source /build/media-suite_helper.sh
do_vcs "https://github.com/Netflix/vmaf.git"
make clean
do_make INSTALL_PREFIX="$LOCALDESTDIR"
do_makeinstall INSTALL_PREFIX="$LOCALDESTDIR"

These were taken from
https://github.com/jb-alvarado/media-autobuild_suite/blob/ddf92aeb0f71cf3299e803a1ea8fd2716a0b0061/build/media-suite_compile.sh#L1462-L1472

I tried to use the FFMPEG suite only and the above configure command still gives the same error.

Using the bat? If so please post the logs.zip, else can you put your full commands?

Or at the very least, FFmpeg's config.log. Otherwise, you're just wasting everyone's time.

config.log

The above is the ffbuild/config.log with the ffmpeg suite and configure command

./configure --enable-debug=1 --disable-asm --enable-libvmaf --enable-version3 --disable-optimizations

WARNING: pkg-config not found, library detection may fail.
Can you run pacboy -S pkg-config:x if 64bit and pacboy -S pkg-config:i if 32bit

[1480c1]

see if pkg-config is actually installed.

[1480c1]

Are you running this from a mac.

[1480c1]

If from a mac, run brew install pkg-config

[vdvisa]

Perfect, installing this pkg-config worked. I am able to configure now.

Thanks you so much for the help.
