This thing’s primary use is to build Windows binaries of mpv.

Alternatively, you can download the builds fromhere.

• You should also install Ninja and use CMake’s Ninja build file generator.It’s not only much faster than GNU Make, but also far less error-prone,which is important for this project because CMake’s ExternalProject moduletends to generate makefiles which confuse GNU Make’s jobserver thingy.

• As a build environment, any modern Linux distributionshould work.

• Compiling on Cygwin / MSYS2 is supported, but it tends to be slowerthan compiling on Linux.

These packages need to be installed first before compiling mpv:

pacman -S git gyp mercurial subversion ninja cmake meson ragel yasm nasm asciidoc enca gperf unzip p7zip gcc-multilib clang lld libc++ libc++abi python-pip curl lib32-gcc-libs lib32-glib2 mimalloc ccachepip3 install rst2pdf mako jsonschemapacman -S llvm # needed for building LLVM PGO

apt-get install build-essential checkinstall bison flex gettext git mercurial subversion ninja-build gyp cmake yasm nasm automake pkgconf libtool libtool-bin gcc-multilib g++-multilib clang lld libc++1 libc++abi1 libgmp-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev libgcrypt-dev gperf ragel texinfo autopoint re2c asciidoc python3-pip docbook2x unzip p7zip-full curl mimalloc ccachepip3 install rst2pdf meson mako jsonschema

Note:

• Useapt-fast if apt-get is too slow.
• It is advised to use bash over dash. Setsudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh. Revert back bysudo ln -sf /bin/dash /bin/sh.
• On WSL platform, compiling 32bit requires qemu. Refer tothis.
• To update package installed by pip, runpip3 install <package> --upgrade.

Download Cygwin installer and run:

setup-x86_64.exe -R "C:\cygwin64" -q --packages="bash,binutils,bzip2,cygwin,gcc-core,gcc-g++,cygwin32-gcc-core,cygwin32-gcc-g++,gzip,m4,pkgconf,make,unzip,zip,diffutils,wget,git,patch,cmake,gperf,yasm,enca,asciidoc,bison,flex,gettext-devel,mercurial,python-devel,python-docutils,docbook2X,texinfo,libmpfr-devel,libgmp-devel,libmpc-devel,libtool,autoconf2.5,automake,automake1.9,libxml2-devel,libxslt-devel,meson,libunistring5"

Additionally, some packages,re2c,ninja,ragel,gyp,rst2pdf,nasm need to beinstalled manually.

Install MSYS2 and run it viaMSYS2 MSYS shortcut.Don't useMSYS2 MinGW 32-bit orMSYS2 MinGW 64-bit shortcuts, that's important!

These packages need to be installed first before compiling mpv:

pacman -S base-devel cmake gcc yasm nasm git mercurial subversion gyp tar gmp-devel mpc-devel mpfr-devel python zlib-devel unzip zip p7zip meson libunistring5

Don't install anything from themingw32 andmingw64 repositories,it's better to completely disable them in/etc/pacman.conf just to be safe.

Additionally, some packages,re2c,ninja,ragel,libjpeg,rst2pdf,jinja2 need to beinstalled manually.

Example:

cmake -DTARGET_ARCH=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \-DGCC_ARCH=x86-64-v3 \-DSINGLE_SOURCE_LOCATION="/home/user/packages" \-DRUSTUP_LOCATION="/home/user/install_rustup" \-G Ninja -B build64 -S mpv-winbuild-cmake

This cmake command will createbuild64 folder forx86_64-w64-mingw32. Set-DTARGET_ARCH=i686-w64-mingw32 for compiling 32-bit.

-DGCC_ARCH=x86-64-v3 will set-march option when compiling gcc withx86-64-v3 instructions. Other value likenative,znver3 should work too.

Enterbuild64 folder and build toolchain once. By default, it will be installed ininstall folder.

ninja download # download all packages at once (optional)ninja gcc      # build gcc only once (take around ~20 minutes)ninja mpv      # build mpv and all its dependencies

OnWSL2, you might see it stuck with 100% disk usage and never finished. Seebelow.

The finalbuild64 folder's size will be around ~3GB.

To build mpv for a second time:

ninja update # perform git pull on all packages that used git

After that, build mpv as usual:

ninja mpv

Supported target architecture (TARGET_ARCH) with clang is:x86_64-w64-mingw32 ,i686-w64-mingw32 ,aarch64-w64-mingw32. Theaarch64 are untested.

Example:

cmake -DTARGET_ARCH=x86_64-w64-mingw32 \-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/home/user/clang_root" \-DCOMPILER_TOOLCHAIN=clang \-DGCC_ARCH=x86-64-v3 \-DSINGLE_SOURCE_LOCATION="/home/user/packages" \-DRUSTUP_LOCATION="/home/user/install_rustup" \-DMINGW_INSTALL_PREFIX="/home/user/build_x86_64_v3/x86_64_v3-w64-mingw32" \-G Ninja -B build_x86_64_v3 -S mpv-winbuild-cmake

The cmake command will createclang_root as clang sysroot where llvm tools installed.build_x86_64 is build directory to compiling packages.

cd build_x86_64ninja llvm       # build LLVM (take around ~2 hours)ninja rustup     # build rust toolchainninja llvm-clang # build clang on specified targetninja mpv        # build mpv and all its dependencies

If you want add another target (ex.i686-w64-mingw32), changeTARGET_ARCH and build folder.

cmake -DTARGET_ARCH=i686-w64-mingw32 \-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/home/user/clang_root" \-DCOMPILER_TOOLCHAIN=clang \-DSINGLE_SOURCE_LOCATION="/home/user/packages" \-DRUSTUP_LOCATION="/home/user/install_rustup" \-DMINGW_INSTALL_PREFIX="/home/user/build_i686/i686-w64-mingw32" \-G Ninja -B build_i686 -S mpv-winbuild-cmakecd build_i686ninja llvm-clang # same as above

If you've changedGCC_ARCH option, you need to run:

ninja rebuild_cache

to update flags which will pass on gcc, g++ and etc.
