Re: [Linphone-developers] FFmpeg DLL's and Linphone-C

[Simon Morlat]

Hi,

Actually I build ffmpeg using mingw without any dependencies. This generates  
libavcodec.a, libavutil.a and libavformat.a.
Only the first two are needed by linphone and those libraries don't require 
any other library if you configured ffmpeg  to have no dependency. (use 
the ./configure options)

libogg is necessary to build libtheora, however libtheora is not a mandatory 
dependency of linphone. You just need to remove theora.c from the compilation 
in mediastreamer2 and remove ms_theora_enc_desc and ms_theora_dec_desc from 
alldescs.h.

In any case libvorbis isn't necessary at all.

Hope this helps !

Simon
