How do you compile vlc with ffmpeg support?

Emerging vlc results in the following error:

checking for zlib.h... yes
checking for ffmpeg-config... no
checking ffmpeg/avcodec.h usability... no
checking ffmpeg/avcodec.h presence... no
checking for ffmpeg/avcodec.h... no
configure: error: Missing header file ffmpeg/avcodec.h.

you need a newer version (i.e. ~x86) or wait until the new version gets stable in gentoo, is an already know problem

Tried new and old versions of both vlc and ffmpeg, preferrably I'd like to use ffmpeg 4.8 pre 1 with vlc 0.8.1, but no luck.

Any idea how to fix up the new versions? or which combinations work?

I installed the lastest ~x86 ffmpeg. After that, vlc-0.8.1 emerged without a problem.
