@chapter Platform Specific information
-@section BSD
+@section DOS
+
+Using a cross-compiler is preferred for various reasons.
+
+@subsection DJGPP
+
+FFmpeg cannot be compiled because of broken system headers, add
+@code{--extra-cflags=-U__STRICT_ANSI__} to the configure options as a
+workaround.
+
+@section OS/2
+
+For information about compiling FFmpeg on OS/2 see
+@url{http://www.edm2.com/index.php/FFmpeg}.
+
+@section Unix-like
+
+Some parts of FFmpeg cannot be built with version 2.15 of the GNU
+assembler which is still provided by a few AMD64 distributions. To
+make sure your compiler really uses the required version of gas
+after a binutils upgrade, run:
+
+@example
+$(gcc -print-prog-name=as) --version
+@end example
+
+If not, then you should install a different compiler that has no
+hard-coded path to gas. In the worst case pass @code{--disable-asm}
+to configure.
+
+@subsection BSD
BSD make will not build FFmpeg, you need to install and use GNU Make
(@file{gmake}).
+@subsubsection FreeBSD
+
+FreeBSD will not compile out-of-the-box due to broken system headers.
+Passing @code{--extra-cflags=-D__BSD_VISIBLE} to configure will work
+around the problem. This may have unexpected sideeffects, so use it at
+your own risk. If you care about FreeBSD, please make an attempt at
+getting the system headers fixed.
+
+@subsection (Open)Solaris
+
+GNU Make is required to build FFmpeg, so you have to invoke (@file{gmake}),
+standard Solaris Make will not work. When building with a non-c99 front-end
+(gcc, generic suncc) add either @code{--extra-libs=/usr/lib/values-xpg6.o}
+or @code{--extra-libs=/usr/lib/64/values-xpg6.o} to the configure options
+since the libc is not c99-compliant by default. The probes performed by
+configure may raise an exception leading to the death of configure itself
+due to a bug in the system shell. Simply invoke a different shell such as
+bash directly to work around this:
+
+@example
+bash ./configure
+@end example
+
+@subsection Darwin (MacOS X, iPhone)
+
+MacOS X on PowerPC or ARM (iPhone) requires a preprocessor from
+@url{http://github.com/yuvi/gas-preprocessor} to build the optimized
+assembler functions. Just download the Perl script and put it somewhere
+in your PATH, FFmpeg's configure will pick it up automatically.
+
@section Windows
To get help and instructions for building FFmpeg under Windows, check out
the static libraries, as described above. But in Step 4,
you should only need to add the directory where the LIB files are installed
(i.e. @file{c:\msys\usr\local\bin}). This is not a typo, the LIB files are
-installed in the @file{bin} directory. And instead of adding @file{libxx.a}
-files, you should add @file{avcodec.lib}, @file{avformat.lib}, and
-@file{avutil.lib}. There should be no need for @file{libmingwex.a},
+installed in the @file{bin} directory. And instead of adding the static
+libraries (@file{libxxx.a} files) you should add the MSVC import libraries
+(@file{avcodec.lib}, @file{avformat.lib}, @file{avcore.lib}, and
+@file{avutil.lib}). Note that you should not use the GCC import
+libraries (@file{libxxx.dll.a} files), as these will give you undefined
+reference errors. There should be no need for @file{libmingwex.a},
@file{libgcc.a}, and @file{wsock32.lib}, nor any other external library
statically linked into the DLLs. The @file{bin} directory contains a bunch
of DLL files, but the ones that are actually used to run your application
are the ones with a major version number in their filenames
(i.e. @file{avcodec-51.dll}).
+FFmpeg headers do not declare global data for Windows DLLs through the usual
+dllexport/dllimport interface. Such data will be exported properly while
+building, but to use them in your MSVC++ code you will have to edit the
+appropriate headers and mark the data as dllimport. For example, in
+libavutil/pixdesc.h you should have:
+@example
+extern __declspec(dllimport) const AVPixFmtDescriptor av_pix_fmt_descriptors[];
+@end example
+
@subsection Cross compilation for Windows with Linux
You must use the MinGW cross compilation tools available at
@subsection Compilation under Cygwin
-The main issue with the 1.5.x Cygwin versions is that newlib, its C library,
-does not contain llrint(). You need to upgrade to the unstable 1.7.x versions,
-or leverage the implementation in MinGW (as explained below).
+Please use Cygwin 1.7.x as the obsolete 1.5.x Cygwin versions lack
+llrint() in its C library.
-Just install your Cygwin with all the "Base" packages, plus the
+Install your Cygwin with all the "Base" packages, plus the
following "Devel" ones:
@example
-binutils, gcc-core, make, subversion, mingw-runtime
+binutils, gcc4-core, make, subversion, mingw-runtime, texi2html
@end example
And the following "Utils" one:
diffutils
@end example
-The experimental gcc4 package is still buggy, hence please
-use the official gcc 3.4.4 or a 4.2.x compiled from source by yourself.
-
-Install the current binutils-20080624-2 as they work fine (the old
-binutils-20060709-1 proved buggy on shared builds).
-
-Then create a small library that just contains llrint():
-
-@example
-ar x /usr/lib/mingw/libmingwex.a llrint.o
-ar cq /usr/local/lib/libllrint.a llrint.o
-@end example
-
Then run
@example
-./configure --enable-static --disable-shared --extra-ldflags='-L /usr/local/lib' --extra-libs='-l llrint'
+./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
@end example
-to make a static build or
+to make a static build.
+
+The current @code{gcc4-core} package is buggy and needs this flag to build
+shared libraries:
@example
-./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --extra-ldflags='-L /usr/local/lib' --extra-libs='-l llrint'
+./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --extra-cflags=-fno-reorder-functions
@end example
-to build shared libraries.
-
If you want to build FFmpeg with additional libraries, download Cygwin
"Devel" packages for Ogg and Vorbis from any Cygwin packages repository:
@example
(@url{http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/}) :
@example
-yasm, libSDL-devel, libdirac-devel, libfaac-devel, libfaad-devel, libgsm-devel,
+yasm, libSDL-devel, libdirac-devel, libfaac-devel, libgsm-devel,
libmp3lame-devel, libschroedinger1.0-devel, speex-devel, libtheora-devel,
libxvidcore-devel
@end example
./configure --target-os=mingw32 --enable-memalign-hack --enable-shared --disable-static --extra-cflags=-mno-cygwin --extra-libs=-mno-cygwin
@end example
