It doesn't contain -I/usr/include/ffmpeg in which libavutil/pixfmt.h resides.

A very similar problem arises during ./configure:

[   61s] checking libavcodec/vdpau.h usability... no
[   61s] checking libavcodec/vdpau.h presence... no

The file /usr/include/ffmpeg/libavcodec/vdpau.h does exist, however the ./configure script doesn't find it either.

pkgconfig of libavcodec correctly contains the right include directory (/usr/include/ffmpeg).

• https://review.jami.net/c/ring-daemon/+/13356 should fix the first issue
• VDPAU is not checked by the daemon anymore

added build label

mentioned in commit c3c15164

I am trying to compile on opensuse tumbleweed and I am still getting the include error. It seems like the cflags are not being used in the compilation.

Adding $(LIBAVUTIL_CFLAGS) to AM_CPPFLAGS in globals.mk fixes the issue for me, I'm not sure if that is the correct way of doing it though.
