Sorry if the previous questions have not been clear. I have been using the compilation and installation steps for FFmpeg found here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu. At the end of the process, when I run the 'make install' command, an executable named 'ffmpeg' gets placed in the /bin folder. I do see the .so files in the libs folder that you mentioned, but I was wanting to know if there is a way for the executable placed in the /bin folder to instead be a .so file. If not, I want to find a way to make a .so file that will allow me to run ffmpeg similar to that executable.
Also, I'm really sorry, but what do you mean by top-posting? I have just been using Reply in Microsoft Exchange. The FFmpeg website says something about a link under the email subject, but I have not been able to find that link. ________________________________ From: ffmpeg-user <ffmpeg-user-boun...@ffmpeg.org> on behalf of Reindl Harald <h.rei...@thelounge.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2023 10:26:59 AM To: ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org Subject: Re: [FFmpeg-user] How to compile static FFmpeg to a .so file? for the sake of god stop top-posting Am 31.01.23 um 16:06 schrieb Ricardo Zacarias: > Adding the '--disable-programs' option caused the build to not create an > executable, but there is still no FFmpeg.so file being created in its place. > Or is this something that I would have to manually create? what is "it's place" if you don't understand the file-listing of my ffmpeg-libs package i can't help you there are plenty of so-files no idea why you want to mimic Windows - Linux isn't a dumb OS looking for libraries at random places > From: ffmpeg-user <ffmpeg-user-boun...@ffmpeg.org> on behalf of Reindl Harald > <h.rei...@thelounge.net> > Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2023 9:29:49 AM > To: FFmpeg user questions > Subject: Re: [FFmpeg-user] How to compile static FFmpeg to a .so file? > > Am 31.01.23 um 15:21 schrieb Ricardo Zacarias: >> Got it.
