ffmpeg dependency isn't automatically installed

[patkujawa-wf]

After installing, I get an error that ffmpeg isn't installed. If this is a package for a package manager, well, it should install dependencies, right? ;)

❯  bpkg install -g osx-screencast

    info: Using latest (master)
    info: install: `make install'
rm -f /usr/local/bin/osx-screencast
for c in record export dependencies; do rm -f /usr/local/bin/osx-screencast-${c}; done
cp osx-screencast.sh /usr/local/bin/osx-screencast
for c in record export dependencies; do cp ${c}.sh /usr/local/bin/osx-screencast-${c}; done

hmm thats a good point. we should install ffmpeg.

@jwerle can we add https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg as a dep? it's got a makefile with an install target

[jwerle]

@stephenmathieson hmm should we be installing things that big on a users system ? We could inform the user that they are missing the dependency and suggest they go to that repository for an install. What do you think ?

[patkujawa-wf]

That would be better than nothing. Best would be to notify user of the
immensity and allow them to ok the installation to make it seamless, I
think :)

@jwerle no, actually we shouldn't. the install target takes 50,000,000 years to complete. maybe just a warning saying $ brew install ffmpeg would be better?

Ok, brew install ffmpeg is quick and easy. But then I get:

❯ osx-screencast                                                                                                                                                                ⏎
error: Missing `convert' dependency

Output of ffmpeg install:

@stephenmathieson I agree. I can issue a patch.
@patkujawa-wf Ugh, i'm sorry. ImageMagick is also a dependency which provides the convert command. brew install imagemagick to mitigate your issue now
