Compiling for Windows
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Compiling for Windows is supported with MinGW-w64. This can be used to produce
|
|
both 32-bit and 64-bit executables, and it works for building on Windows and
|
|
cross-compiling from Linux and Cygwin. MinGW-w64 is available from:
|
|
http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net.
|
|
|
|
While building a complete MinGW-w64 toolchain yourself is possible, there are a
|
|
few build environments and scripts to help ease the process, such as MSYS2 and
|
|
MXE. Note that MinGW environments included in Linux distributions are often
|
|
broken, outdated and useless, and usually don't use MinGW-w64.
|
|
|
|
**Warning**: the original MinGW (http://www.mingw.org) is unsupported.
|
|
|
|
Cross-compilation
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
When cross-compiling, you have to run mpv's configure with these arguments:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
DEST_OS=win32 TARGET=i686-w64-mingw32 ./waf configure
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[MXE](http://mxe.cc) makes it very easy to bootstrap a complete MingGW-w64
|
|
environment from a Linux machine. See a working example below.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can try [mingw-w64-cmake](https://github.com/lachs0r/mingw-w64-cmake),
|
|
which bootstraps a MinGW-w64 environment and builds mpv and dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Example with MXE
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Before starting, make sure you install MXE prerequisites. MXE will download
|
|
# and build all target dependencies, but no host dependencies. For example,
|
|
# you need a working compiler, or MXE can't build the crosscompiler.
|
|
#
|
|
# Refer to
|
|
#
|
|
# http://mxe.cc/#requirements
|
|
#
|
|
# Scroll down for disto/OS-specific instructions to install them.
|
|
|
|
# Download MXE. Note that compiling the required packages requires about 1.4 GB
|
|
# or more!
|
|
|
|
cd /opt
|
|
git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe mxe
|
|
cd mxe
|
|
|
|
# Set build options.
|
|
|
|
# The JOBS environment variable controls threads to use when building. DO NOT
|
|
# use the regular `make -j4` option with MXE as it will slow down the build.
|
|
# Alternatively, you can set this in the make command by appending "JOBS=4"
|
|
# to the end of command:
|
|
echo "JOBS := 4" >> settings.mk
|
|
|
|
# The MXE_TARGET environment variable builds MinGW-w64 for 32 bit targets.
|
|
# Alternatively, you can specify this in the make command by appending
|
|
# "MXE_TARGETS=i686-w64-mingw32" to the end of command:
|
|
echo "MXE_TARGETS := i686-w64-mingw32.static" >> settings.mk
|
|
|
|
# If you want to build 64 bit version, use this:
|
|
# echo "MXE_TARGETS := x86_64-w64-mingw32.static" >> settings.mk
|
|
|
|
# Build required packages. The following provide a minimum required to build
|
|
# mpv.
|
|
|
|
make gcc ffmpeg libass jpeg pthreads
|
|
|
|
# Add MXE binaries to $PATH
|
|
export PATH=/opt/mxe/usr/bin/:$PATH
|
|
|
|
# Build mpv. The target will be used to automatically select the name of the
|
|
# build tools involved (e.g. it will use i686-w64-mingw32.static-gcc).
|
|
|
|
cd ..
|
|
git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv.git
|
|
cd mpv
|
|
DEST_OS=win32 TARGET=i686-w64-mingw32.static ./waf configure
|
|
# Or, if 64 bit version,
|
|
# DEST_OS=win32 TARGET=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static ./waf configure
|
|
./waf build
|
|
```

Native compilation with MSYS2
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
For Windows developers looking to get started quickly, MSYS2 can be used to
|
|
compile mpv natively on a Windows machine. The MSYS2 repositories have binary
|
|
packages for most of mpv's dependencies, so the process should only involve
|
|
building mpv itself.
|
|
|
|
To build 64-bit mpv on Windows:
|
|
|
|
Installing MSYS2
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
1. Download an installer from https://msys2.github.io/
|
|
|
|
It doesn't matter whether the i686 or the x86_64 version is used. Both can
|
|
build 32-bit and 64-bit binaries when running on a 64-bit version of Windows.
|
|
|
|
2. Add ``C:\msys64\mingw64\bin`` to your ``%PATH%``. mpv will depend on several
|
|
DLLs in this folder.
|
|
|
|
3. Start a MinGW-w64 shell (``mingw64_shell.bat``). For a 32-bit build, use
|
|
``mingw32_shell.bat``.
|
|
|
|
Updating MSYS2
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
To prevent errors during post-install, ``msys2-runtime`` and ``pacman`` must be
|
|
updated first.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Check for updates to msys2-runtime and pacman. If there were updates, restart
|
|
# MSYS2 before continuing.
|
|
pacman -Sy --needed msys2-runtime pacman
|
|
|
|
# Update everything else
|
|
pacman -Su
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Installing mpv dependencies
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install MSYS2 build dependencies and a MinGW-w64 compiler
|
|
pacman -S git pkg-config python3 mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
|
|
|
|
# Install the most important MinGW-w64 dependencies. libass, libbluray and
|
|
# lcms2 are also pulled in as dependencies of ffmpeg.
|
|
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg mingw-w64-x86_64-libjpeg-turbo mingw-w64-x86_64-lua
|
|
|
|
# Install additional (optional) dependencies
|
|
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-libdvdnav mingw-w64-x86_64-mpg123 mingw-w64-x86_64-libguess
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a 32-bit build, install ``mingw-w64-i686-*`` packages instead.
|
|
|
|
Building mpv
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Clone the latest mpv from git and install waf:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv.git && cd mpv
|
|
./bootstrap.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, compile and install mpv. Binaries will be installed to
|
|
``/mingw64/bin``.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# For a 32-bit build, use --prefix=/mingw32 instead
|
|
./waf configure CC=gcc --prefix=/mingw64
|
|
./waf install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, compile and install both libmpv and mpv:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./waf configure CC=gcc --enable-libmpv-shared --prefix=/mingw64
|
|
./waf install
|
|
|
|
# waf installs libmpv to the wrong directory, so fix it up
|
|
mv -f /mingw64/bin/pkgconfig/mpv.pc /mingw64/lib/pkgconfig/
|
|
mv -f /mingw64/bin/libmpv.dll.a /mingw64/lib/
|
|
sed -i 's_/mingw64/bin_/mingw64/lib_' /mingw64/lib/pkgconfig/mpv.pc
|
|
rmdir /mingw64/bin/pkgconfig
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additional dependencies
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
pthreads
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
mpv will use a pthreads wrapper by default. Either pthreads-win32 or
|
|
winpthreads should work. The latter is packaged with most MinGW-w64
|
|
environments, including MSYS2, so it shouldn't be a problem. If you don't have
|
|
a pthreads wrapper or you want to build mpv without one, configure with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./waf configure --enable-win32-internal-pthreads
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
libwaio
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
If you want to use ``--input-file``, you need libwaio. It's available from
|
|
git://midipix.org/waio
|
|
|
|
To compile libwaio in MSYS2, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone git://midipix.org/waio && cd waio
|
|
|
|
# 32-bit build, run from mingw32_shell.bat
|
|
./build-mingw-nt32 lib-static CC=gcc AR=ar
|
|
cp -r include/waio /mingw32/include
|
|
cp lib32/libwaio.a /mingw32/lib
|
|
|
|
# 64-bit build, run from mingw64_shell.bat
|
|
./build-mingw-nt64 lib-static CC=gcc AR=ar
|
|
cp -r include/waio /mingw64/include
|
|
cp lib64/libwaio.a /mingw64/lib
|
|
```
