Heroku buildpack: FFMpeg with prebuilt x264 and fdk_acc

This is a Heroku buildpack for using ffmpeg in your project.
It doesn't do anything else, so to actually compile your app you should use heroku-buildpack-multi to combine it with a real buildpack.

Usage

To use this buildpack, you should prepare .buildpacks file that contains this buildpack url and your real buildpack url.

$ ls
.buildpacks
...

$ cat .buildpacks
https://github.com/Litterfeldt/heroku-buildpack-ffmpeg-x264-fdk_aac
https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-play

$ heroku create --buildpack https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi

$ git push heroku master
...

You can verify installing ffmpeg by following command.

$ heroku run "ffmpeg -version"

Perks

This buildpack comes with ffmpeg configured like so:

./configure --enable-static \
--disable-shared \
--disable-asm \
--extra-libs="-L$LIBSS/lib" \
--extra-cflags="-I$LIBSS/include" \
--prefix=/app/vendor/ffmpeg \
--enable-libfdk-aac \
--enable-nonfree \
--enable-libx264 \
--enable-gpl

It also contains all prebuilt dependencies needed to run ffmpeg with x264 and fdk_acc.

Nothing else is needed.
