Script for building ffmpeg with msvc.

ffmpeg-msvc-build

Scripts for building FFmpeg with MSVC on AppVeyor.

The script closely follows the official instructions. By default, only static LGPL builds are generated (in 32 and 64 bit, and in debug and release configurations). However, the build matrix can be easily modified to allow different configurations to be built as well.

Requirements

• NASM
• Visual Studio
• MSYS2 (needs to be installed at C:\msys64\)

Usage

Prebuilt static LGPL builds with Visual Studio 2017 (toolset v141) can be found here. If you want to build your own version on your local machine, then:

• Optional: apply create-lib-libraries.patch (this ensures that the build will produce .lib files instead of .a files).
• Ensure nasm is in your path; if not, add it.
• Set the following variables:
  • APPVEYOR_BUILD_FOLDER (should be set to the project folder where build.sh resides)
  • TOOLSET (v120, v140, v141)
  • PLATFORM (x86, x64)
  • CONFIGURATION (Release, Debug)
  • LINKAGE (shared, static)
  • RUNTIME_LIBRARY (MD, MT)
  • LICENSE (LGPL21, LGPL3, GPL2, GPL3)
• Start the build script by running build.bat.

License

All scripts for creating the builds are licensed under the conditions of the MIT license. For the examples in the examples folder, see individual files for license details.

The builds themselves are covered by the relevant license for your build (see here for full details).
