Building FFmpeg with libvpx support on Windows 7

Compiling FFmpeg with libvpx support on “Windows 7”

While building FFmpeg, we need the below mentioned libvpx support :

Ffmpeg depends on yasm

Libvpx depends on libvorbis

Libvorbis depends on libogg

Ffplay, if needed, depends on libsdl

MS Windows 7

64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium

Tools In Need-

Python

         Install Python -  http://www.python.org/getit/.

         Choose the default components and Install to c:\python27 or similar.

         Add the Python executable to $PATH:

         Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables …

Locate and edit the System variable "Path". Append a semicolon (;) followed by the                                     path to your python executable (perhaps c:\python27).

Git -

         Download and run a current Git installer: http://git-scm.com/downloads

         Choose the default components.

         Choose "Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt".

         Choose "Checkout as-is, commit Unix-style endings".

Last choice is important. FFmpeg won't build if git changes line endings to crlf.

MinGW/MSYS

Download and run the MinGW+MSYS installer mingw-get-inst:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-inst/

Install to c:\mingw. Choose the default C compiler, MSYS Basic System, and MinGW Developer Toolkit.

Begin -

Start > MinGW > MinGW Shell  

Create a workspace in $HOME : mkdir “~\src”
