Hello everybody!

How did you compile your ffmpeg with faac support under Windows? With the help of this forum i succesfully compiled faac. What are the steps I have to do for compiling ffmpeg with faac? Where to locate the faac lib files? I know that I have to use --enable-faac with configure. At first the lib "faac" is not not found. After renaming the compiled libfaac.lib to faac.lib there are compiling errors as described in

Thank you for your help in advance!

Hello,

at first I thank you all who gave help to me compiling ffmpeg with faac
support.
I now have auto generated make files for faac, so that I could compile
ffmpeg with the option "--enable-faac".
My ffmpeg.exe now supports faac encoding.

But when I use the option --enable-shared to compile ffmpeg libraries
(libav*.dll) I still receive the message:

gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,avutil.dll.49 -Wl,--output-def,avutil.def -o
avutil.dll mathematics.o integer.o rational.o intfloat_readwrite.o -lm
-lfaac
d:\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\3.2.3\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe:
cannot find -lfaac
make[1]: *** [avutil.dll] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/d/sources/delphi/test/buildffmpeg/buildffmpeg/ffmpeg/libavutil'
make: *** [lib] Error 2

What are the differences between compiling ffmpeg with/without option
"--enable-shared". Why does one configuration compile and another does not?

Best regards

Should be libfaac.a not .lib and it should be in say /mingw/lib or you could specify the location with -L. You could do this I guess with --extra-ldflags.

I didn't know that compiling ffmpeg.exe doesn't need the libfaac.a-file. When I now copied this file to MinGW/lib, I could compile ffmpeg in library mode.

Thank you very much for your help!
