Hi all. I have been stuck for days (yet again…) on building OpenCV. I am building it for Docker bookworm image with 7:5.1.4-0+deb12u1 version for ffmpeg. As a result, I get a lot of errors similar to Error in definition of macro ‘AV_CODEC_ID_FFV1’ :

I have tried OpenCV 4.4.0 and, when checked that issue is apparently with incompatibility between OpenCV and ffmpeg, also with OpenCV 4.6.0. The issue is still the same. Question: which OpenCV+ffmpeg versions are compatible? Cannot see to find this information anywhere. To which OpenCV version I have to upgrade so that it also stays compatible with project that used OpenCV 4.4.0 before? Or should I use older Debian with older ffmpeg? Or build ffmpeg from source? Any solutions are highly welcome.

neither v4.4 nor v4.6 are the latest release.

bug reports cannot be accepted if you “found” an old bug that might already be fixed.

please check with latest release of OpenCV.

make sure that ffmpeg has an appropriate version. latest opencv releases try to track ffmpeg 5. I’m not sure anyone has bothered with ffmpeg 6 since that followed so quickly after ffmpeg 5.
