XBian uses statically linked ffmpeg for Kodi

It uses --disable-static --enable-shared, but that didn't work at first, and a blog I came across for installing on raspbian said to use static. So that's why I tried static.

Code:

I'm about 3/4 the way through a non-static, shared compile, with libspeex installed from source. I literally copied the source directly from my openelec source. It has all the patches already applied. Same with ffmpeg.. I used the source from oe as well.

btw.. you say XBian uses static build of ffmpeg... yet when I typed ffmpeg to see if it was installed.. way back in the beginning.. it said it wasn't installed. OE's Kodi source makefile says it's dependent on ffmpeg, so I guess that's internal(?).

Should I use --disable-external-ffmpeg?
