I verified that GNU Make 4.1 in MSYS2 environment builds FFmpeg without any issue regardless of the line ending. This is good and I recommend MSYS2 usage for building FFmpeg for WinRT in the wiki below: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/WinRT
However, the official documentation and the wiki still suggest that MinGW/MSYS as the default environment to build FFmpeg on Windows. For example MSYS web link points directly to the MinGW/MSYS web page. If MSYS2 is in fact the recommended shell to build FFmpeg in Windows, is there any upcoming effort to update these docs?

Which is just another reason why *IF* anything is going to be mentioned/recommended then it should be MSYS2 and not MSYS/MinGW setups. Although this may be a good example of why it could be useful to make it clear somewhere that MSYS2 is the recommended setup to help avoid these issues that way. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
