sffmpeg is a simple cmake-based full-featured FFmpeg static build helper.
It currently works on Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and MacOSX. It has been tested the most heavily on Linux/x86_64 (Ubuntu 12.04). The helper will grab the latest versions of most FFmpeg dependencies, providing a way to effectively build, test and compare multiple static builds of FFmpeg on the same host.
Requirements
sffmpeg requires:
- a POSIX-compliant system (virtually any system today).
- recent versions of gcc and yasm (1.2+).
- a recent version of cmake (2.8.2+).
- the autoconf and libtool utilities.
- the pkg-config utility.
Usage
Just type the following commands at the shell prompt:
$ git clone https://github.com/pyke369/sffmpeg
$ cd sffmpeg
$ make
Then go grab a coffee (or maybe two). The helper will download and compile all FFmpeg dependencies for you.
Once done, you should get a static system-independent FFmpeg binary in the build/bin directory.

From there, you may use the binary immediately or build a Debian package for later deployment (see below).
Packaging
You may optionally build a Debian package by typing the following command at the shell prompt:
$ make deb
All binaries and support files will be installed by the package in the /usr/local directory.
$ sudo dpkg -i sffmpeg_1.2_amd64.deb
