====
use either option A) or B)
-----
A)

nvEncodeAPI.h can be obtained e.g. from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/master/compat/nvenc/nvEncodeAPI.h). SDL is not needed.

-----
B) download from Video Codec SDK Archive: Video Codec SDK 6.0 (601)
updated:20160919: [nvenc] Re-enable nvenc. You *need* SDK v6.0 for it to work, not 5 nor 7

was SDK Updated (NVENC SDK 6.0): https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
The latest NVIDIA Video Codec SDK version available is 6.0, which requires NVIDIA GPU driver R358 or above for Windows and R358 or above for Linux.
Unpack

sudo apt-get install libpng-dev

Note, selecting 'libpng12-dev' instead of 'libpng-dev'

use libpng12-dev, do not install/update libpng16-dev: this breaks libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev

[eumagga0x2a]

Please comment. Iibpng16-dev is an unofficial (universe) package in Xenial. Installing libpng-dev pulls in libpng12-dev on Xenial and libpng16-dev on later Ubuntu versions. The Ubuntu build script will install libpng-dev.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

yes: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS = Xenial,

sudo apt-get install libpng-dev

Note, selecting 'libpng12-dev' instead of 'libpng-dev'

do not install/update libpng16-dev: this breaks libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1-dev

18.04 LTS expected release = 2018-04

[eumagga0x2a]

The point is, you won't have libpng16-dev on your 16.04.x system normally. The unofficial package libpng16-dev in turn is correctly marked as conflicting with libpng12-dev, thus resulting in removal of all packages depending on libpng-dev because only libpng12-dev provides "libpng-dev" on Xenial.

[PhilB]

Is nvidia-cuda-toolki mandatory for compiling with Xubuntu 16.04 LTS ? It is a very big library.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Only if you have a supported nvidia gpu and want to use vdpau, I suppose.

Hi

I am trying to compile avidemux 2.6 on Ubuntu 18.04, I get following error when I run ./run_avidemux_template.sh

/home/net/avidemux2/install/usr/include/avidemux/2.7/ADM_coreConfig.h not found, can't determine the relative library directory. Aborting.

any suggestions please. Also I compiling avidemux 2.6 using

bash bootStrap.bash

Compilation is success, but at the final unable to find avidemux binary.

Please suggest.
