Is it possible to build ffmpeg x64 on Windows?


The real answer is probably "no", but still, just to double check. Has anyone ever been able to build ffmpeg x64 on Windows (VS2013 or VS2015)? I know it is not possible with publicly available sources without heavy modifications. However, if somebody did it and if he is willing to share a few tips...

Edit: It is interesting how most of the required x64 tools for running the "configure" are distributed without dependencies and it is impossible to get them anywhere. Looks like a professional trolling.

Edit2: There are thousands of errors like this:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'features.h': No such file or directory

features.h is missing as many other header files. Is there a fix for that, or switching to Linux is the only option?


Solution

  • No, it cannot be done. MS compiler doesn't support #include_next. Plus, many other problems... You need MinGW.
