At the end you will have exe files in the directory you ran the script from. You will need to provide your password once so that the system can install a few tools but after that everything is done automatically.

Just transfer that script to the user you create when you installed Ubuntu and run it. configure -target-os=mingw32 -cross-prefix=i586-mingw32msvc-arch=x86 -prefix=$MINGBASE -enable-memalign-hack -enable-gpl -enable-avisynth -enable-version3 -enable-postproc -enable-libvpx -enable-runtime-cpudetect -disable-network -disable-devices -disable-encoder=vorbis -enable-libvorbis LDFLAGS='-L$MINGBASE/lib' CFLAGS='-I$MINGBASE/include'. Sudo apt-get install pkg-config yasm subversion cvs git-core gcc-mingw32Ĭat > mingw32-setup.sh /tmp/libvpx.x.patch /tmp/ffmpeg-0.6_libvpx-0.9.1.diff The entire script follows but if you want to make sure you get a good copy you can download it: I used this cross compiling X264 using Ubuntu as a base for part of my script. So go ahead and grab Virtual Box and get Ubuntu installed on it before you continue. While there are some guides to how to build FFMpeg for Linux with VP8 WebM support I wanted to get it compiled for Windows.įirst off this won't be done using a Windows install but instead using Virtual Box with a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 desktop. WebM is starting to be integrated into FFMpeg but there are still some patches that need to be applied. The WebM project will be an open alternative in the HTML5 video tag codec space and being backed by Google, who will use it for YouTube, will give it a fighting chance. Google has released source for the VP8 codec as the WebM project. I have updated this post with a newer version of the VP8 patches to FFMpeg and support for libvorbis instead of the built in vorbis support.
