ffmpeg-0.5 rev5, --extra-ldflags=-headerpad_max_install_names needed to be add to Portfile to be able to use install_name_tool

[tero.siironen@…]

When trying to bundle libavcodec from ffmpeg with application and using install_name_tool one will get following error:

install_name_tool: changing install names can't be redone for: MyApp.app/Contents/Frameworks/libavcodec.dylib (for architecture i386) because larger updated load commands do not fit (the program must be relinked)

This can be fixed by adding following parameter to ffmpeg's configure options:

--extra-ldflags=-headerpad_max_install_names

After compiling ffmpeg again, install_name_tool can be used with libavcodec.dylib just fine.

We don't provide relocatable installs; you'll have to modify ports locally if you need that.

Replying to jmr@…:

We don't provide relocatable installs;

But maybe we should. See #29838 which requested this globally.
