[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] build: Allow libffmpeg to be built for Chromium-based browsers

[Nicolas George]

Le decadi 10 thermidor, an CCXXV, James Le Cuirot a écrit :
> This Makefile snippet allows libffmpeg to be created without the help

I concur with the other remarks: this is not the right approach, and it
has many flaws.

But on the other hand, I strongly support the underlying idea: having
many libraries causes no end of trouble, for users a little but for
developers mostly. See for example the proliferation of avpriv symbols
whenever code needs to be factored between libraries but too complex for
a public API.

So if you were interested in making this right: make it the default and
only library for the project, to be applied at / instead of the next
major bump, I would strongly support it, and help to the extent of my
ability.

If not, it is still something I intend to work on, but I have other more
pressing projects.

Regards,
