Connect ffmpeg to Visual Studio 2008

Question

I try to connect ffmpeg to visual c++ like this, but when I type "./configure --toolchain=msvc" I have this error:

c99wrap cl is unable to create an executable file.

If c99wrap cl is a cross-compiler, use the --enable-cross-compile option. Only do this if you know what cross compiling means.

C compiler test failed

config.log:

WARNING: pkg-config not found, library detection may fail. mktemp -u XXXXXX ./configure: line 728: mktemp: command not found WARNING: Unknown C compiler C:\c99\c99wrap cl, unable to select optimal CFLAGS check_ld cc check_cc BEGIN /tmp/ffconf..ZHENYA.500.5884.c 1 int main(void){ return 0; } END /tmp/ffconf..ZHENYA.500.5884.c C:\c99\c99wrap cl -c -o /tmp/ffconf..ZHENYA.500.5884.o /tmp/ffconf..ZHENYA.500.5884.c fatal error C1510: Cannot load language resource clui.dll. C compiler test failed.

What's the problem? Or just send me files that you got after compilation with this (I would not have asked, but I fix this two months):

./configure --toolchain=msvc

make

make install

Answer 1

The error mktemp: command not found

Download : mktemp-1.6-2

put mktemp.exe into your msys\1.0\bin .

Look in your ffmpeg folder are present ?

• inttypes.h
• stdint.h
• vsyasm.targets
• vsyasm.txt
• vsyasm.xml
• copy vsyasm.txt , vsyasm.xml , vsyasm.exe to
• yasm.txt , yasm.xml , yasm.exe

Look in your ... \VisualStudio??\VC\bin folder are present ?

• vsyasm.targets
• vsyasm.txt
• vsyasm.xml
• vsyasm.exe
• copy vsyasm.txt , vsyasm.xml , vsyasm.exe to
• yasm.txt , yasm.xml , yasm.exe

so you have both vsyasm and yasm !

If in your config.log the last line is something like c99wrap cl ... bad file number

you should download another c99-to-c89 .

get it from here

Search for previously installed files and delete them .

c99wrap.exe
c99conv.exe
makedef

copy the new files to the Visual Studio bin folder .

now ./configure --toolchain=msvc should run without problems .

Note :
make problem :
Tell me how far you come with make . I'm sure you get an gawk : unterminated string error.

Answer 2

To build (either c99wrap.exe or FFmpeg/Libav itself), make sure that you’re not using the msys linker, but instead the MSVS linker. For now, temporarily backup /usr/bin/link to someplace so it’s not in your $PATH.
