[Ffmpeg-devel] Compiling FFmpeg using ISO/C89 compiler

[Halawani, Abdelmalek]

The drffmpeg does not compile. I did the following:
 
svn checkout https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/drdivx/DrDivX/trunk/drffmpeg drffmpeg

cd drffmpeg
 
./configure
 
added "-I$(SRC_PATH)/export/drffmpeg" to the CFLAGS in the "common.mak" file.
 
make
 
The error messages are attached. Am i missing something.

Try to use the DrFFMPEG source. It's not 100% up to date with the FFMPEG
SVN but it's close enough. It builds with MSVC which doesn't support
named structure elements or variable length macros. They can be replaced
with equivalent C89 code.
