How to install MP4box on CentOS 6
MP4Box is a MP4 multiplexer. It can import MPEG-4 video, DivX, XviD, 3ivx, h264 etc, audio streams and subtitles into the .mp4 container. The end result is a compliant MP4 stream. It can also extract streams from a .mp4. MP4Box is a command line tool, but can be used with graphical user interfaces such as YAMB or my MP4box GUI.
First of all install the freeglut packages
yum -y install freeglut.x86_64 freeglut-devel.x86_64
NOTE: You will need gcc and gcc++ packages to manually compile below packages. You can easily install them on CentOS/RedHat using command yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake
Now download the gpac source packages and libraries.
cd /usr/local/src/ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gpac/gpac-0.4.5.tar.gz wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/gpac/GPAC%20extra%20libs/GPAC%20extra%20libs%200.4.5/gpac_extra_libs-0.4.5.tar.gz tar -zxvf gpac-0.4.5.tar.gz tar -zxvf gpac_extra_libs-0.4.5.tar.gz
Copy the libraries to gpac folder.
cd gpac_extra_libs cp -prf * /usr/local/src/gpac/extra_lib cd .. cd gpac
Now Install MP4Box
chmod 755 configure ./configure make lib make apps make install lib make install
No copy the gpac.so to system library
cp -prf bin/gcc/libgpac.so /usr/lib64 ldconfig
And it’s done.
[root@server ~]# which MP4Box
/usr/local/bin/MP4Box
[root@server ~]# /usr/local/bin/MP4Box -version

Good advice, this is the first thing I’ve had to compile for linux in a many years. Don’t forget to tell noobs (and boneheads like me) they need GCC-C++ in order for to compile anything.
Good advice. I added the note.
