Linking libmpv with MSVC programs
---------------------------------
You can build C++ programs in Visual Studio and link them with libmpv. To do
this, you need a Visual Studio which supports ``stdint.h`` (recent ones do),
and you need to create a import library for the mpv DLL:
```bash
lib /def:mpv.def /name:mpv-1.dll /out:mpv.lib /MACHINE:X64
```
The string in the ``/name:`` parameter must match the filename of the DLL (this
is simply the filename the MSVC linker will use). The ``mpv.def`` can be
retrieved from the mpv build directory, or can be produced by MingGW's
gendef.exe helper from the mpv DLL.
Static linking is not possible.
