Ubuntu 16.04 compiling FFMPEG with libfaac

Question

I tried in different ways by reading various documents. I was not able to compile FFMPEG with the libfacc library but only with fdk_aac.

https://gist.github.com/teocci/f7a438013a0197a91446ee86de41faee

I need to integrate it with a plugin for an internet site.

Someone can tell me how to proceed.

Thank you

FAAC support has been removed from FFmpeg since v3.2.

You either need to use an older version, or skip FAAC and simply use the built-in aac encoder. The libfdk_aac encoder also offers good quality, but it's an external dependency.

See http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/AAC for more info.
