Compilation error: can't find crate for ffmpeg

[saeschdivara]

I have the follwing toml file:

[package]
name = "myserver"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Sascha Häusler [email protected]"]

[dependencies.ffmpeg-sys]
version = "2.8.0"
default-features = false
features = ["static", "avcodec", "avdevice", "avfilter", "avformat", "swscale"]
optional = true

[dependencies.ffmpeg]

version = "~0.2.0"

git = "https://github.com/meh/rust-ffmpeg"
default-features = false
features = ["static", "codec", "device", "filter", "format", "software-scaling"]
optional = true

And the error message looks like this:
src/main.rs:1:1: 1:21 error: can't find crate for ffmpeg
src/main.rs:1 extern crate ffmpeg;

Am I doing something wrong? Or do I need to correct the toml file?

You don't need to also define ffmpeg-sys, ffmpeg is enough, it will define the proper feature dependencies.

Secondly you defined ffmpeg as an optional package, so unless you're building with the ffmpeg feature it won't find the crate.

Ok, I don't get this error anymore.
But I have a new error:
error: could not find native static library avutil, perhaps an -L flag is missing?
Could not compile ffmpeg-sys

Should I make a new issue for this error?

If I remove the static feature I get the followin error message: note: /usr/bin/ld: warning: libavutil.so.55, needed by //usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so, may conflict with libavutil.so.52
/usr/bin/ld: /home/saskyrar/Development/Languages/rust/myserver/target/debug/deps/libffmpeg-805255d617bd8363.rlib(ffmpeg-805255d617bd8363.0.o): undefined reference to symbol 'av_frame_set_colorspace@@LIBAVUTIL_55'
/usr/local/lib/libavutil.so.55: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

Ok, I found the library which had an older version and now everything works
