Sorry if this has been asked before in the past.
I am wondering if there has been any conversation around changing the
current build setup of ffmpeg to CMake.
The reason I ask is that I am not a fan of having to install MinGW just to
build on Windows, and my experience so far with CMake has been a pleasant
one, when having to build on multiple platforms (Windows/Linux/macOS).
If there has been conversation about moving to CMake, where can I find the
thread?
I would love that to happen myself too. The main issue is all the
dependencies that ffmpeg has to take care of. You need to have
FindLib*.cmake and/or BuldLib*cmake, plus you need to take care of which
libraries are open source, BSD, GPL, etc. and whether you need to locate
them with pkgconfig.
It is overall a lot of work, so something would need to get paid to do
so fulltime.
I have to wonder, as I only have Windows 8.1 so far, doesn't Windows 10
WSL2 solve the compilation issues by having the lib be compiled on an
Ubuntu distro?
