Hi Paul, The thing is that MSVC supports most of the C99 features indirectly, as they are backported from C++ (e.g. one-line comments, relaxed variable declaration requirements, etc). Most people have been using these on MSVC (and GCC) for C code well before the C99 standard was put in place.
Other problem such as the missing stdint.h header can be easily worked around (cf. Previous discussions in this thread). I'd be very curious to know what are the C99 features that are essential to FFmpeg, not supported by MSVC and that cannot be easily worked around.

Hi, [...] The second paragraph is interesting, as it suggests that people have at least tried in the past to get ffmpeg to be MSVC-compatible. But if they made the decision to use C99 (which does have some nice additions compared to the older C standards) then MSVC is indeed left in the rain :) [...] Paul _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
