Compiling Mencoder
 

Hi: I already have a CVS synch in my HD, Cygwin and MSYS.
How to compile it for W32.
I have not idea.

:oops:
:cry:

Hi Prodater,

to compile mencoder, you only to execute 2 things from mplayer root directory:
- execute "configure --enable-largefiles --enable-static --enable-win32 --enable-dshow" to configure the compilation
- execute "make mencoder" to compile mencoder

If you compile it with mingw, you can execute it from msys shell (because of \ to / translation). If you compile with cygwin, you can execute it directly from windows.

First try, before your previous post, without that options, only --enable-largefiles, gives me 2 exes very much smaller that official pack. stdout show me a lot of no options.
How can obtain same version as original more toolame option enabled.
It says autodetect, but is seems that not.

I guess taht the smaller size is due to the lack of "--enable-static" (you are using dynamic loading of the dll insteed of static linking within the exe).

For lame... perhaps you need to have the -enable-dshow to have all the option avalaible ?

Hi,

I agree with Phil: exe size can be smaller because of dynamic binding.

For toolame stuff, just have a look at configure, to see what option there is (sorry but I don't have any mencoder source here...).

EDIT:
watched teh CVS image, and I found this options in configure:
--disable-toolame disable Toolame (MPEG layer 2 audio) support in mencoder [autodetect]
--with-toolamedir=DIR path to Toolame library and include file

This mean that if you have the toolame library and include file, you can compile mencoder with toolame support
