[menditsa]

That's a known issue that's being looked into.

[redzic]

@ahmadrr We now have the 0.2.0 release available here on GitHub which contains a Windows av1an binary you can download, built with the ffmpeg_static feature enabled.

[jacksalssome]

When I was compiling Av1an on Linux I had to install additional packages.

package manager install pkg-config libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libavfilter-dev

[mattipunkt]

Is there a workaround currently? I can't install av1an through cargo in cause of this issue.

[Melechtna]

Having the same issue

[trixoniisama]

For me on Clear Linux, installing devpkg-not-ffmpeg fixed it.

Similar issue in Fedora 39:

  --- stderr
  thread 'main' panicked at /home/lamy/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/ffmpeg-sys-the-third-1.1.1+ffmpeg-6.0/build.rs:714:14:

  The system library `libavutil` required by crate `ffmpeg-sys-the-third` was not found.
  The file `libavutil.pc` needs to be installed and the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable must contain its parent directory.
  The PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable is not set.

  HINT: if you have installed the library, try setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the directory containing `libavutil.pc`.

  note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
error: failed to compile `av1an v0.4.1`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `/tmp/cargo-installw9c0yC`.
To reuse those artifacts with a future compilation, set the environment variable `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` to that path.
