compiling ffmpeg

[klompen]

Hello,

Anyone know how to compile ffmpeg in Windows ? Please if you have a step-by-step instruction.

I do understand how to compile in Linux and I am familiar with Windows/compiling terms. But I just dont know what kind of tools do I need to compile ffmpeg in Windows (to create ffmpeg.exe)

Thanks in advance for your help,

Regards,
Klompen

if you click the ffmpeg link, and look in the comments section, a user (jonathanbrickman0000) describes how to compile it using msys and mingw.

Thanks for the information.

I have installed MingW + MSYS. And tried to compile using --enable-mp3lame

Once I got error missing lame.h

Then I copied lame.h in the correct location.

But I still got this error :

gcc -Wl,--warn-common -g -o ffmpeg_g.exe ffmpeg.o cmdutils.o -L./libavformat -lavformat -L./libavcodec -lavcodec -lm -lmp3lame
D:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\..\..\..\..\ mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lmp3lame

Anyone can help? I tried to compile lame (latest) but i got a lot of error in MingW
