gst-libav-1.0: Link against a shared ffmpeg instead of static (5.63 KB, patch)

Description Nirbheek Chauhan 2018-10-15 23:25:52 UTC 
The main reason we used to build static-only was because our buildsystem-inside-buildsystem setup was hacky. Now that ffmpeg is its own recipe, we can treat it like any other dependency.

gst-libav-1.0: Link against a shared ffmpeg instead of static

We can't link to a static ffmpeg built with MinGW when gst-libav is
built with MSVC. Another big advantage of this is that people can
switch out the ffmpeg libs with their own DLLs, dylibs, etc when using
our binary builds without having to build from scratch with Cerbero.
