The stronger case here is in my opinion anyway the fact that this is not something the user should have to worry about at all, especially if they just want to do a quick build from source. With the correct .gitattributes it always 'just works', eliminating a potential source of confusion and simplifying the overall complexity of the build process. This becomes especially useful if ffmpeg is being built as part of a more complex toolchain, eg. as an ExternalProject build in a CMake build script, that has to deal with all those complexities explicitly. > And on top of that, the issue has also been fixed in GNU make, you > should probably update to a newer version if this is still happening > for you. (ie. the version that comes with msys2 does not suffer from > this issue anymore, for me anyway) I tried with a fresh MinGW installation, as that is what is linked on the wiki page (https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/MSVC) and the problem does occur there. I did not try msys2, might very well be that it has been fixed in a newer version of make there. The package manager for MinGW advertises the make version as 3.82.90-2-cvs-20120902, which does seem a bit dated. The thing is though, with the correct line endings the build process works flawlessly even on the older MinGW. So it might still be beneficial to incorporate the changes, if (and this is the big if here) there are no drawbacks arising from the change.
