I want to use libx264 codec with ffmpeg. but Ffmpeg libx264's configuration failed

Question

configure failed

I want to use libx264 codec with ffmpeg. when i tried to convert image files to a video using the codec, a message appears said Unknown encoder "libx264". so I tried to execute configure and make again at msys folder. I typed ./configure --enable-libx264 and it failed. :(

my ffmpeg version is 3.0.1 and x264 is also the latest version so far.

It is possible that you don't have the x264 libraries for compiling on your machine.

The last time I compiled FFMpeg I downloaded and compiled x264 also along with it to ensure I had the libraries installed.
