Note: The following example is building for 32 bits. If you want to build for 64 bits, please use
x86_64-w64-mingw32 instead of i686-w64-mingw32.
Build FFmpeg
Install the following packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make nasm gcc mingw-w64
Build:
./configure --arch=x86 --target-os=mingw32 --cross-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32- --prefix=/mnt/d/src/ffmpeg/build.d/win/x86
make -j`nproc` -s
sudo make install
Build FFplay
Build SDL2 first:
cd /tmp
wget https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.10.tar.gz
tar xvzf SDL2-2.0.10.tar.gz
cd SDL2-2.0.10
./configure --prefix=/usr/sdl2-win32 --host=i686-w64-mingw32
make -j`nproc` -s
sudo make install
Make a symbol link to i686-w64-mingw32-sdl2-config:
sudo ln -s /usr/sdl2-win32/bin/sdl2-config /usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-sdl2-config
Now reconfig FFmpeg, it will enable ffplay automatically:
./configure --arch=x86 --target-os=mingw32 --cross-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32- --prefix=/mnt/d/src/ffmpeg/build.d/win/x86
make -j`nproc` -s
sudo make install
Copy dependencies and run
Copy required DLLs before running:
cp /usr/sdl2-win32/bin/SDL2.dll /mnt/d/src/ffmpeg/build.d/win/x86/bin/
cp /usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/7.3-win32/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll /mnt/d/src/ffmpeg/build.d/win/x86/bin/
You can run ffmpeg & ffplay from windows now.
