FFMPEG iPhone using gas-preprocessor

Question

Hi, I got the latest version of FFMPEG and gas-preprocessor, and i am trying to build them libraries for iPhone. I put the gas-preprocessor.pl file in my usr/bin folder, and try to configure my ffmpeg with this command.

./configure --cc=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.2.1 --as='gas-preprocessor.pl /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.2.1' --sysroot=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.1.sdk --enable-cross-compile --target-os=darwin --arch=arm --cpu=cortex-a8 --enable-pic

But what i get is this error

Unknown option "--as=gas-preprocessor.pl". See ./configure --help for available options.

Any ideas??? Thank u.

you need to create folders in usr dir called local and then bin then in bin put gas-preprocessor.pl file.

then try the configure command.

Note: by default usr dir which is in root level is hidden, you need to right click on finder icon, select "Go to Folder" then type /usr and enter to reveal usr directory.
