ibavcodec/libx264.c:262:9: error: ‘x264_bit_depth’ undeclared (first use in this function)

[iqbal-h]

I am trying to set up gaming anywhere. I followed the following steps:

1. cloned the latest gamingAnywhere package from GitHub
2. Followed the instructions https://gaminganywhere.org/doc/quick_start.html for Linux

When I run make in deps.src, I get the following error. Please help fix this. Thanks.

I met the same error, does anyone know how to solve it?

You can try:

1. Replace "x264_bit_depth" with "X264_BIT_DEPTH" in your ffmpeg-2.8.8/libx264.c file.
2. Then retar the ffmpeg package with command: tar -cjf ffmpeg-2.8.8.tar.bz2 ffmpeg-2.8.8
3. sudo make
