I was trying to build ffmpeg with h264 and faac tonight and had a fair amount of trouble, encountering issues with configure until I realized that several of the files in the faac distribution had DOS line endings.

I was seeing output like this:

.infig.status: error: cannot find input file:

I solved it with find, xargs, dos2unix and a pipe:

(from the extracted directory)

find -type f | xargs -n1 dos2unix

Hope it helps someone else with similar problems in the future.
