@ -200,10 +200,17 @@ the compilation failure then you are probably not qualified for this.
@section Visual C++ produces many errors.
You need a C compiler (Visual C++ is not compliant to the C standard).
Visual C++ is not compliant to the C standard and does not support
the inline assembly used in FFmpeg.
If you wish - for whatever weird reason - to use Visual C++ for your
project then you can link the Visual C++ code with libav* as long as
you compile the latter with a working C compiler. For more information, see
the @emph{Visual C++ compatibility} section in the FFmpeg documentation.
There have been efforts to make FFmpeg compatible with Visual C++ in the
past. However, they have all been rejected as too intrusive, especially
since MinGW does the job perfectly adequately. None of the core developers
work with Visual C++ and thus this item is low priority. Should you find
the silver bullet that solves this problem, feel free to shoot it at us.
