How to Setup Code::Blocks IDE for FFmpeg development

I am digging into a project that needs to use some open source video codec library. FFmpeg is very powerful video codec library, which I decided to use in my project. I compiled and installed the ffmpeg library, then the problem comes, how to use the library in my project conviniently. My first thought is to write make file. I am not an expert in makefile things, so I changed to try to use Code::Blocks IDE, which is very easy to use. After configuring the include path and adding all the ffmpeg static library files mannully, I still can't build the project successfully.

I think I should check how FFmpeg build the library. After running make in /doc/examples directory of ffmpeg package, I get the command lines of compiling and linking these examples, I should add these settings in Code::Blocks.

In Linker settings of Code::Blocks, add "other linker options": -pthread -L/usr/local/lib -lavdevice -lavfilter -lavformat -lavcodec -ldl -lswresample -lswscale -lavutil -lrt -lmLeave compiler setting unchanged.

After changed setting, I can build a very simple test program which called ffmpeg API. but, when I tried to build ffmpeg example project imported from ffmpeq package, many warnings appeared:

...

In Code::Blocks, the linker failed!

I think the problem lies in the -Wdeprecated-declarations, so I added a compiler option to bypass these warnings:

in compiler setting page, add in "other options": -Wno-deprecated-declarations

then, the project built successfully in Code:Blocks!
