How to build FFmpeg executable for commercial use using Windows?


I'm developing a commercial software and it requires ffmpeg.exe to run properly.

I'm aware of the FFmpeg legal page (https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html) and want to Compile FFmpeg without "--enable-gpl" and without "--enable-nonfree". However the compilation guide (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide) seems neglected because some links lead to 404 pages, and some required programs didn't install properly on my PC, crashed in fact.

I tried all the ways to compile but could not succeed. I use Windows 8.1 and I'm not comfortable with minGW, MSYS, MSVC.

How can I compile FFmpeg executable for commercial use, or better, how can I download ffmpeg.exe (compiled for commercial use) without hassle?
