AVbin is designed to be used with a particular version of FFmpeg. This
is checked out automatically into the ffmpeg
directory when you use the SVN
sources of AVbin. If you've downloaded a source archive, you'll need to get
the appropriate version of FFmpeg::
svn checkout -r `cat ffmpeg.revision`
svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
Use the included build.sh
script to compile AVbin. This takes care of
configuring FFmpeg correctly, compiling it, then linking it with the AVbin
sources. The final AVbin libraries are placed in the dist
directory.
If you've just updated the FFmpeg and the current AVbin distribution contains an ffmpeg.patch file, first run::
./build.sh --patch ffmpeg.patch
to apply some AVbin-specific patches to FFmpeg. Then, on a 64-bit Linux computer run::
./build.sh linux-x86-64 linux-x86-32
or on an Intel Mac OS X computer run::
./build.sh darwin-universal
or on a 32-bit Windows run::
./build.sh win32
Run build.sh --help
for more information.
AVbin is currently supported only on the following platforms
The configuration scripts currently assume cross-compilation for Linux-x86-32 and Darwin-ppc-32. Minor changes should be needed to get these to compile on the target platform. Patches for this or other platforms are welcome.
Darwin compilation currently requires OS X 10.5.
Place the resulting avbin.so, avbin.dylib or avbin.dll in the appropriate system directory.
The AVbin dynamic library exports all of FFmpeg's functions from libavcodec,
libavutil and libavformat. It also exports some higher-level functions which
have a fixed ABI (they will not change in incompatible ways in future
releases), documented in include/avbin.h
.
Due to the linkage between AVbin and FFmpeg, AVbin must be licensed under the LGPL or GPL. Currently all GPL features of the FFmpeg configuration are disabled, permitting LGPL use.
You should see the accompanying COPYING and COPYING.LESSER files for details. In summary, you must note the usage of FFmpeg and AVbin within the documentation of your application. If you make changes to either library, you must include the sources of these changes within your application.
