Whenever you link with one of FFmpeg's libraries, you 
have to add avutil which is a prerequisite for all 
other libraries.

Generally, it may be a good idea to run "grep" in such 
a case (or even nm), it may tell you were the missing 
symbol is defined.

Please do not top-post here, it is considered rude.
