Danny, As Tim pointed out, I should have sent the attached message to you (the maintainer of gstreamer-plugins-ffmpeg) instead of Matt (the packager). Please have a look. regards Theo Tilman Sauerbeck wrote:

Matt,
You should contact the _maintainer_ of that port, which isn't Matt, but Danny Rawlins. Take a close look at the Pkgfile :)
I checked with a colleague who has the same problem building gstreamer-plugins-ffmpeg -- see below; and who found the cause & a workaround. An inspection of config.log created with pkgmk -kw revealed "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11". Thus we retried with 'LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib pkgmk' which was successful. Therefore I added a line with 'export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib pkgmk' to
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib ./configure ...
seems like a nicer workaround :P
