Hello, I have spent the last 3 days trying to build the ffmpeg 4.4 libraries (avcodec.dll, avutil.dll, ...) for Windows.
I want to be able to build them for Windows 32 bits and for Windows 64 bits. I want to build them with the maximum of libs included in it but I want to stay within the LGPL license. In particular, I want the libs to be able to decode AV1 and demux MPEG-DASH. I have tried to build these libs under Windows (using msys 1, then msys 2) and under Debian (cross-compilation to build Windows DLLs). I think my closest attempt to success is when I use mingw / sys2 I do this: - I run cmd from MSVC 10.0 - in the cmd window, I run msys : *msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64* - in the msys2 window, I type: export PATH="/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/VC/BIN/amd64/":$PATH - then I go to the folder where I have unzipped the ffmpeg snapshot and I run: *./configure --target-os=win64 --arch=x86_64 --toolchain=msvc --enable-shared --enable-demuxer=dash* or *./configure --target-os=win64 --arch=x86_64 --toolchain=msvc --enable-shared --enable-demuxer=dash --enable-cross-compile* But I get this error: *cl.exe is unable to create an executable file.If cl.exe is a cross-compiler, use the --enable-cross-compile option.Only do this if you know what cross compiling means.C compiler test failed.* Even if I run only sudo ./configure --toolchain=msvc I get the same error as above (in *bold*). the ffbuild/config.log logfile contains this: *BEGIN ./ffconf.vV44uHf2/test.c 1 int main(void){ return 0; }END ./ffconf.vV44uHf2/test.ccl.exe -nologo -c -Fo./ffconf.vV44uHf2/test.o ./ffconf.vV44uHf2/test.ctest.c./compat/windows/mslink -nologo -out:./ffconf.vV44uHf2/test.exe ./ffconf.vV44uHf2/test.oLINK : error LNK2001: symbole externe non r▒solu mainCRTStartup./ffconf.vV44uHf2/test.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 externes non r▒solusC compiler test failed.* So I am wondering: Could someone tell me what is wrong? How could I build the ffmpeg libraries for Windows using msys2 ? Thanks in advance! Thomas PS: using msys 1.0, I always get this message: * WARNING: Disabled dash_demuxer because not all dependencies are satisfied: libxml2 * even if libxml2 seems to be installed And when I try to cross-compile under Debian 9.8, I get the error " *lib.exe not found.*" I think that the scripts expects to find the MSVC compiler/linker and since we are now on Debian, they don't exist. I don't know how to fix that. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
