ERROR: x265 not found using pkg-config

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest
version from Git.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the
ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net.
Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help
solve the problem.

I followed these instructions, but the problem still remains :

This is a known issue for the media-autobuild_suite: The x265 team keeps using a "bool" data type, which is discouraged in many other projects because it is handled in different ways in different C/C++ compilers (e.g. MS Visual C++ 2012 / Visual Studio 11 handles it differently, doesn't like stdbool.h). It will be fixed soon™. In the meantime, you can go back to a x265 revision before commit c258d21.

thank you, I fixed the problem by Adding :

#include <stdbool.h>

to source/x265.h then ./configure FFmpeg again

A more elaborate fix is being proposed in the mailing list and will probably be available until tomorrow.

They will avoid a "bool" field in a structure and use an "int" instead.
