@chapter Platform Specific information
@section BSD
To get help and instructions for building FFmpeg under Windows, check out
the FFmpeg Windows Help Forum at
-@url{http://arrozcru.no-ip.org/ffmpeg/}.
+@url{http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/}.
@subsection Native Windows compilation
FFmpeg can be built to run natively on Windows using the MinGW tools. Install
-the current versions of MSYS and MinGW from @url{http://www.mingw.org/}. Also
-install the coreutils package, and update to the latest MSYS make (note: not
-mingw32-make). You can find detailed installation
+the latest versions of MSYS and MinGW from @url{http://www.mingw.org/}.
+You can find detailed installation
instructions in the download section and the FAQ.
+FFmpeg does not build out-of-the-box with the packages the automated MinGW
+installer provides. It also requires coreutils to be installed and many other
+packages updated to the latest version. The minimum version for some packages
+are listed below:
+
+@itemize
+@item bash 3.1
+@item msys-make 3.81-2 (note: not mingw32-make)
+@item w32api 3.13
+@item mingw-runtime 3.15
+@end itemize
+
+FFmpeg automatically passes @code{-fno-common} to the compiler to work around
+a GCC bug (see @url{http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37216}).
+
Within the MSYS shell, configure and make with:
@example
-./configure --enable-memalign-hack
+./configure --enable-memalign-hack --extra-cflags=-fno-common
make
make install
@end example
@itemize
-@item Use at least bash 3.1. Older versions are known to fail on the
-configure script.
-
-@item In order to compile vhooks, you must have a POSIX-compliant libdl in
-your MinGW system. Get dlfcn-win32 from
-@url{http://code.google.com/p/dlfcn-win32}.
-
@item In order to compile FFplay, you must have the MinGW development library
of SDL. Get it from @url{http://www.libsdl.org}.
Edit the @file{bin/sdl-config} script so that it points to the correct prefix
@item Write the source code for your application, or, for testing, just
copy the code from an existing sample application into the source file
that MSVC++ has already created for you. For example, you can copy
-@file{output_example.c} from the FFmpeg distribution.
+@file{libavformat/output-example.c} from the FFmpeg distribution.
@item Open the "Project / Properties" dialog box. In the "Configuration"
combo box, select "All Configurations" so that the changes you make will
@subsection Compilation under Cygwin
-The main issue with Cygwin is that newlib, its C library, does not
-contain llrint(). However, it is possible to leverage the
-implementation in MinGW.
+The main issue with the 1.5.x Cygwin versions is that newlib, its C library,
+does not contain llrint(). You need to upgrade to the unstable 1.7.x versions,
+or leverage the implementation in MinGW (as explained below).
Just install your Cygwin with all the "Base" packages, plus the
following "Devel" ones:
@example
-binutils, gcc-core, make, subversion, mingw-runtime
+binutils, gcc-core, make, subversion, mingw-runtime, diffutils
@end example
-Do not install binutils-20060709-1 (they are buggy on shared builds);
-use binutils-20050610-1 instead.
+The experimental gcc4 package is still buggy, hence please
+use the official gcc 3.4.4 or a 4.2.x compiled from source by yourself.
+
+Install the current binutils-20080624-2 as they work fine (the old
+binutils-20060709-1 proved buggy on shared builds).
Then create a small library that just contains llrint():
to build shared libraries.
If you want to build FFmpeg with additional libraries, download Cygwin
-"Devel" packages for Ogg and Vorbis from any Cygwin packages repository
-and/or SDL, xvid, faac, faad2 packages from Cygwin Ports,
-(@url{http://cygwinports.dotsrc.org/}).
+"Devel" packages for Ogg and Vorbis from any Cygwin packages repository:
+@example
+libogg-devel, libvorbis-devel
+@end example
+
+These library packages are only available from Cygwin Ports
+(@url{http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/}) :
+
+@example
+yasm, libSDL-devel, libdirac-devel, libfaac-devel, libfaad-devel, libgsm-devel,
+libmp3lame-devel, libschroedinger1.0-devel, speex-devel, libtheora-devel,
+libxvidcore-devel
+@end example
+
+The recommendation for libnut and x264 is to build them from source by
+yourself, as they evolve too quickly for Cygwin Ports to be up to date.
+
+Cygwin 1.7.x has IPv6 support. You can add IPv6 to Cygwin 1.5.x by means
+of the @code{libgetaddrinfo-devel} package, available at Cygwin Ports.
@subsection Crosscompilation for Windows under Cygwin
