cur_dir=$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"; pwd)
echo $cur_dir

x264_build_dir=$cur_dir/../x264_install
x264_bin_dir=$x264_build_dir/bin

./configure --prefix="$x264_build_dir" --enable-static --disable-opencl --bindir="$x264_bin_dir" --disable-asm

(2) Create x264_install path under the av path
(3) Execute compilation

cd ~/av/x264
