FFmpeg Static Auto-Builds

Static Windows (x86_64), macOS (x86_64 and arm64) and Linux (x86_64 and x86_32) Builds of ffmpeg master and latest release branch.

Windows builds are targetting Windows 7 and newer.

macOS (x86_64 and arm64) builds are targetting macOS 12.3 and newer (Monterey - darwin21.4)

Linux (x86_64 and x86_32) 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.

How to make a build

Prerequisites

• bash
• docker

Note

To compile for macOS, you'll need to provide the SDK (MacOSX15.1.sdk.tar.xz) yourself. This can be extracted from a macOS machine or from downloading Xcode by follow these instructions.

Once extracted, place the SDK in the following directories, depending on your target:

• x86_64 - images/base-macos64
• arm64 - images/base-macosarm64

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)
• macos64 (x86_64 macOS)
• macosarm64 (arm64 macOS)
• linux32 (x86_32 Linux, glibc>=2.23, linux>=4.4)
• 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)
