FFmpeg compilation details

FFmpeg compilation details

There are many problems with FFMPEG compilation in both Windows and Linux. Therefore, the compilation option is set up here to build a standardized compilation process, so that beginners can quickly eliminate the fear of using FFMPEG, as for the problems encountered, put them in the following option FAQ

Note: object files are built at the place where configure is launched.

Precautions

[Edit]
Make will generate the following files

• FFmpeg, ffplay, and ffserver (without debugging information)
• Ffmpeg_g, ffplay_g (with debugging information)
  • You can use GDB (DDD) to debug the xxx_g file.
  • I am not very clear about the specifics. I used to use ffplay for debugging in the past. I added the configer option and forgot to do so.
