if you are talking about MSYS from the MinGW (dead) project, then yes, it's slow. MSYS2 is faster though > I consider installing wsl simple, last time I installed msys, it was less > simple, I don't know if this has changed. MSYS2 is simple to install, it uses a win32 port to install packages that is what I use to compile ffmpeg (among other libs). ffmpeg is also compiled and available with pacman : https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg > I suspect the "ffmpeg docs" (not sure what exactly you mean with it) were > written before wsl existed. > > But given our exchange so far, I wasn't extremely surprised that you > did not want to follow what I suggested. > > If you absolutely want to cross-compile from a Linux box for Windows, > this also works fine but I always only saw disadvantages. That is why > I suggested wsl. advantage : cross compiling on linux is a lot faster than compiling with MSYS2 regards Vincent Torri _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
