• A: Apple clang
• H: host build. Clang is open source clang
• C: cross build (for example, build win32 from linux/macOS using mingw, build rpi from windows/linux/macOS using gcc and clang)
• ?: in plan
• Empty: won't support

Fork and Custom Build by Github Actions

You can request to add your configuration. If not accepted, customize yourself and build by github actions

• Fork the repo
• Set actions variables used by workflows in github repo settings
  • FF_VER: master, or version, e.g. 8.0, 6.1
  • LINUX_SYSROOT_ID: any characters, used to update sysroot cache
  • LLVM_VER: llvm version, e.g. 22, used by linux and windows build. Available versions can be found in https://apt.llvm.org
  • VCVER: msvcrt version, e.g. 14.28.29333. used by windows clang build
  • WINSDKVER: windows sdk version, e.g. 10.0.22621.0. used by windows clang build
  • VC_LTL_VER: VC-LTL5 version, e.g. 5.1.1. used by windows build with LTL
• Edit workflow files(build.yml, build_gpl.yml). Remove unused jobs, e.g. sourceforge upload
• Download ffmpeg binaries from workflow artifacts

Link Static FFmpeg Libraries

When linking static libs to your program, all dependencies must be specified in your linker flags. The dependencies can be found in https://sourceforge.net/projects/avbuild/files/dep/dep.7z/download
