Ben:

Thanks for your idea. But still does not work. I've pasted below the command I've tried and the resulting message. Probably this will help to identify what is the issue.

I entered:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0 -vcodec huffyuv -sameq screencast.avi

And got this back!

hello wilfredo,

you can avoid messing up your system by installing ffmpeg locally, that
is somewhere into a directory in your home directory, by using a
"--local" or "--prefix" option with the configure, say

$ ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab
--prefix=/home/wilfredo/ffmpeg_dir

in this way, if something doesn't work, you can simply delete the
directory and try again.

you should find more about this in the installation instructions.

greetings

I compiled ffmpeg on a previous gns installation with x11grab support.
Although it issued a few warnings. It worked fine.

I used the usual :
./configure --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab
make
make install

Question : Should I try to resolve the warnings on this ?



I tried to do the same on a recent gns installation and did not work. It
compiled with the same warnings but did not worked as intended.

*I reinstall gns, and want to compile ffmpeg with x11grab
support(again),  *but would like to get it right and avoid messing up my
system.

By the way the installations mentioned above were all on the same machine.

thanks in advance for any help you can provide,

Wilfredo
