ffmpeg-msvc-build

Scripts for building FFmpeg with MSVC.

The script uses vcpkg
which closely follows the official
instructions.

The purpose of this repository is:

1. To enable the latest git version of ffmpeg to be built with vcpkg, with a few minimal patches on top of upstream vcpkg.
2. Do full feature testing for windows, linux, and osx (far more in-depth compared to what upstream vcpkg continuous integration is testing).
3. Provide a few builds for convenience. Given that there are so many different combinations of features that might make sense for specific purposes, what is currently provided is an LGPLv2 build including all ffmpeg features exposed by vcpkg.

Requirements

• Visual Studio
• vcpkg

Usage

Clone the repository and run the following in powershell or cmd:

cd vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg.exe install ffmpeg[core,all]:x64-windows

You can pick another triplet, or another set of features. See the ffmpeg vcpkg.json file for a list of all features. The above will result in an LGPLv2 licensed ffmpeg library built with all LGPL compatible features that are supported in vcpkg.

Prebuilt LGPLv2 builds for Visual Studio 2019 can be found
here.
See the
vcpkg export documentation
for more information on how to use these pre-built packages.
