'FFMPEG build on Windows using MSVC - make fails
I am trying to build FFMPEG on Windows with MSVC. I am following this guide.
I have managed to setup the environment in order to configure successfully, but make doesn't work.
From VS2013 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt I run
msys2_shell.cmd -use-full-path
and from msys2_shell.cmd I go to the ffmpeg folder and run
mingw32-make
which outputs:
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error
awk: cmd. line:1: /including/ { sub(/^.*file: */, ""); gsub(/\/, "/"); if (!match($0, / /)) print "libavdevice/alldevices.o:", $0 }
awk: cmd. line:1: ^ unterminated string
ffbuild/common.mak:67: recipe for target 'libavdevice/alldevices.o' failed
mingw32-make: *** [libavdevice/alldevices.o] Error 1
Some more info:
$ mingw32-make --version

Any suggestions?

Tried starting with x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 and got the same result.

Solution 1:[1]
Well, I found another guide that did the trick. Hopes this helps others. Happy new year :)
Solution 2:[2]
I had the same problem. Seems the make is culprit here. I had to install make using pacman -S make command to overcome this issue.
