But in Step 4, you should only need to add the directory where the LIB files are installed (i.e. @file{c:\msys\usr\local\bin}). This is not a typo, the LIB files are -installed in the @file{bin} directory. And instead of adding @file{libxx.a} -files, you should add @file{avcodec.lib}, @file{avformat.lib}, and -@file{avutil.lib}. There should be no need for @file{libmingwex.a}, +installed in the @file{bin} directory. And instead of adding the static +libraries (@file{libxxx.a} files) you should add the MSVC import libraries +(@file{avcodec.lib}, @file{avformat.lib}, @file{avcore.lib}, and +@file{avutil.lib}). Note that you should not use the GCC import +libraries (@file{libxxx.dll.a} files), as these will give you undefined +reference errors. There should be no need for @file{libmingwex.a}, @file{libgcc.a}, and @file{wsock32.lib}, nor any other external library statically linked into the DLLs. The @file{bin} directory contains a bunch of DLL files, but the ones that are actually used to run your application |
