BtbN 9f930118ab Remove libmfx support
Intel discontinued support for it. There will be no security fixes and
updates for it anymore.

Unfortunately this means that older versions of ffmpeg will be losing
support for QSV hardware acceleration, but it's either that or knowingly
leaving people open to security issues.

FFmpeg Static Auto-Builds

Static Windows (x86_64) and Linux (x86_64) Builds of ffmpeg master and latest release branch.

Windows builds are targetting Windows 7 and newer.

Linux (x86_64) builds are targetting Ubuntu 16.04 (glibc-2.23 + linux-4.4) and anything more recent.

Linux (arm64) builds are targetting Ubuntu 18.04 (glibc-2.27 + linux-4.15) and anything more recent.

Auto-Builds

Builds run daily at 12:00 UTC (or GitHubs idea of that time) and are automatically released on success.

Auto-Builds run ONLY for win64 and linux(arm)64. There are no win32/x86 auto-builds, though you can produce win32 builds yourself following the instructions below.

Release Retention Policy

  • The last build of each month is kept for two years.
  • The last 14 daily builds are kept.
  • The special "latest" build floats and provides consistent URLs always pointing to the latest build.

Package List

For a list of included dependencies check the scripts.d directory. Every file corresponds to its respective package.

How to make a build

Prerequisites

  • bash
  • docker

Build Image

  • ./makeimage.sh target variant [addin [addin] [addin] ...]

Build FFmpeg

  • ./build.sh target variant [addin [addin] [addin] ...]

On success, the resulting zip file will be in the artifacts subdir.

Targets, Variants and Addins

Available targets:

  • win64 (x86_64 Windows)
  • win32 (x86 Windows)
  • linux64 (x86_64 Linux, glibc>=2.23, linux>=4.4)
  • linuxarm64 (arm64 (aarch64) Linux, glibc>=2.27, linux>=4.15)

The linuxarm64 target will not build some dependencies due to lack of arm64 (aarch64) architecture support or cross-compiling restrictions.

  • davs2 and xavs2: aarch64 support is broken.
  • libmfx and libva: Library for Intel QSV, so there is no aarch64 support.

Available variants:

  • gpl Includes all dependencies, even those that require full GPL instead of just LGPL.
  • lgpl Lacking libraries that are GPL-only. Most prominently libx264 and libx265.
  • nonfree Includes fdk-aac in addition to all the dependencies of the gpl variant.
  • gpl-shared Same as gpl, but comes with the libav* family of shared libs instead of pure static executables.
  • lgpl-shared Same again, but with the lgpl set of dependencies.
  • nonfree-shared Same again, but with the nonfree set of dependencies.

All of those can be optionally combined with any combination of addins:

  • 4.4/5.0/5.1/6.0 to build from the respective release branch instead of master.
  • debug to not strip debug symbols from the binaries. This increases the output size by about 250MB.
  • lto build all dependencies and ffmpeg with -flto=auto (HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL, broken for Windows, sometimes works for Linux)
