@code{I} means that an integer-only version is available, too (ensures high
performance on systems without hardware floating point support).

@chapter Platform Specific information
@section BSD
To get help and instructions for building FFmpeg under Windows, check out
the FFmpeg Windows Help Forum at
-@url{http://arrozcru.no-ip.org/ffmpeg/}.
+@url{http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/}.
@subsection Native Windows compilation
FFmpeg can be built to run natively on Windows using the MinGW tools. Install
-the current versions of MSYS and MinGW from @url{http://www.mingw.org/}. Also
-install the coreutils package, and update to the latest MSYS make (note: not
-mingw32-make). You can find detailed installation
+the latest versions of MSYS and MinGW from @url{http://www.mingw.org/}.
+You can find detailed installation
instructions in the download section and the FAQ.
+FFmpeg does not build out-of-the-box with the packages the automated MinGW
+installer provides. It also requires coreutils to be installed and many other
+packages updated to the latest version. The minimum version for some packages
+are listed below:
+
+@itemize
+@item bash 3.1
+@item msys-make 3.81-2 (note: not mingw32-make)
+@item w32api 3.13
+@item mingw-runtime 3.15
+@end itemize
+
+You will also need to pass @code{-fno-common} to the compiler to work around
+a GCC bug (see @url{http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37216}).
+
Within the MSYS shell, configure and make with:
@example
-./configure --enable-memalign-hack
+./configure --enable-memalign-hack --extra-cflags=-fno-common
make
make install
@end example
@itemize
-@item Use at least bash 3.1. Older versions are known to fail on the
-configure script.
-
@item In order to compile vhooks, you must have a POSIX-compliant libdl in
your MinGW system. Get dlfcn-win32 from
@url{http://code.google.com/p/dlfcn-win32}.
@item
Remember to check if you need to bump versions for the specific libav
parts (libavutil, libavcodec, libavformat) you are changing. You need
- to change the version integer and the version string.
+ to change the version integer.
Incrementing the first component means no backward compatibility to
previous versions (e.g. removal of a function from the public API).
Incrementing the second component means backward compatible change
- (e.g. addition of a function to the public API).
+ (e.g. addition of a function to the public API or extension of an
+ existing data structure).
Incrementing the third component means a noteworthy binary compatible
change (e.g. encoder bug fix that matters for the decoder).
-@item
- If you add a new codec, remember to update the changelog, add it to
- the supported codecs table in the documentation and bump the second
- component of the @file{libavcodec} version number appropriately. If
- it has a fourcc, add it to @file{libavformat/riff.c}, even if it
- is only a decoder.
@item
Compiler warnings indicate potential bugs or code with bad style. If a type of
warning always points to correct and clean code, that warning should
Also please if you send several patches, send each patch as a separate mail,
do not attach several unrelated patches to the same mail.
+@section New codecs or formats checklist
+
+@enumerate
+@item
+ Did you use av_cold for codec initialization and close functions?
+@item
+ Did you add a long_name under NULL_IF_CONFIG_SMALL to the AVCodec or
+ AVInputFormat/AVOutputFormat struct?
+@item
+ Did you bump the minor version number in @file{avcodec.h} or
+ @file{avformat.h}?
+@item
+ Did you register it in @file{allcodecs.c} or @file{allformats.c}?
+@item
+ Did you add the CodecID to @file{avcodec.h}?
+@item
+ If it has a fourcc, did you add it to @file{libavformat/riff.c},
+ even if it is only a decoder?
+@item
+ Did you add a rule to compile the appropriate files in the Makefile?
+ Remember to do this even if you're just adding a format to a file that is
+ already being compiled by some other rule, like a raw demuxer.
+@item
+ Did you add an entry to the table of supported formats or codecs in the
+ documentation?
+@item
+ Did you add an entry in the Changelog?
+@item
+ If it depends on a parser or a library, did you add that dependency in
+ configure?
+@item
+ Did you "svn add" the appropriate files before commiting?

@section patch submission checklist
@enumerate
@item
Do the regression tests pass with the patch applied?
+@item
+ Does @code{make checkheaders} pass with the patch applied?
@item
Is the patch a unified diff?
@item
Have you checked that the patch does not introduce buffer overflows or
other security issues?
@item
- If you add a new demuxer or decoder, have you checked that it does not
- crash with damaged input (see tools/trasher)?
+ Did you test your decoder or demuxer against damaged data? If no, see
+ tools/trasher and the noise bitstream filter. Your decoder or demuxer
+ should not crash or end in a (near) infinite loop when fed damaged data.
@item
Is the patch created from the root of the source tree, so it can be
applied with @code{patch -p0}?
improves readability.

Did you provide a suggestion for a clear commit log message?

- Did you test your decoder or demuxer against damaged data? If no, see
