What you describe is possible, but I don't recommend you to do so,
just as is. What are you precisely trying to achieve?
Something that I usually do, which is simple and clean to maintain,
is: ship with a dedicated DSO (shared library) of FFmpeg, with only
the symbols you are interested in, but placed into a separate
namespace so that to avoid clashes with a system version that might
(under particular conditions) get in indirectly, depending on the
nature of your project and its dependencies.
Hints:
1. Fetch FFmpeg sources at compile-time, e.g. a specific version you
are interested in, make it a git submodule, if you use git.
2. Configure FFmpeg with --enable-static --enable-pic --disable-shared
--disable-all --enable-decoder="decoders_you_want"
--enable-demuxer="demuxers_you_want" [...], etc. You see the picture?
enable only the components you are interested in, FFmpeg is very
flexible for that.
3. Agglomerate all the generated *.a into a DSO and use a linker
script to place all av* symbols into a particular namespace and make
all other symbols private, internal. e.g. SOMETHING_FFMPEG { global:
av*; local: *; };
4. Link the rest of your project with those built-in FFmpeg headers
and libraries, ship with the FFmpeg DSO.
Of course, you still have the option to link against system libraries,
which would be the preferred process in most cases, IMHO.
