[FFmpeg-user] building ffmpeg with x264 os x

[Joel B]

Hi. So far I've installed x264 and it is in my path, but when I try to build:

./configure --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads --disable-ffplay --disable-ffserver --disable-shared --arch=x86_64 --enable-debug

I get:

ERROR: libx264 not found

I also tried with 

./configure --enable-libx264 --libdir='~/x264/' --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads --disable-ffplay --disable-ffserver --disable-shared --arch=x86_64 --enable-debug

but I'm not sure of that syntax for the libdir.

Can someone help me get this sorted?
