Quick disclaimer: I am a novice. Feel free to explain things.
I am attempting to run these scripts to compile a custom build of ffmpeg:
I originally had questions about this project that I posted on Stack Overflow (more details there):
My OS is Windows 11 Pro 64-bit, Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621
To accomplish this, I did the following:
Installed MINGw64 and MINGw32
Ran some pacman commands to install various libraries (gcc, g++, cmake)
Placed the project in C:\01Code\ATW
Started running the commands listed on the github page.
Updated PATH environmental variable to include “C:\msys64\mingw64\bin”
Originally, I had a problem with cmake - it could not locate the compilers. I fixed this by editing the CMakeLists.txt file included with this project and setting explicit paths, then I had to change \ to / in the path and it worked.
The next step is to run “make install”, which looks like this:
make install [ 25%] Building C object CMakeFiles/AudioToolboxWrapper.dir/src/AudioToolboxLoader.c.obj [ 50%] Linking C static library libAudioToolboxWrapper.a make[1]: /bin/sh: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:86: CMakeFiles/AudioToolboxWrapper.dir/all] Error 127 make: *** [Makefile:136: all] Error 2
I’ve looked through dozens of topics on here and StackOverflow about this and typically the advice is “edit your PATH variable” and the like. I’ve tried that, no luck.
I have several questions:
The error I was seeing with ‘cmake’ was similar to the one above - I was able to fix that by editing the CMakeLists.txt file. Is there a similar “instruction set” file for ‘make’?
Where can I find the logs or activity for ‘make’? When I was trying to debug the ‘cmake’ script, I opened “CMakeConfigureLog.yaml” to see the activity, output and specific errors that ‘cmake’ was throwing. I do not see a similar file anywhere for ‘make’.
2a. I tried running the command ‘make install > output.txt’ to address my second question (someone said this would produce output to debug ‘make’) but that just made a blank text document.
Please advise, happy to send whatever logs or syntax that would be helpful to you all - TIA.
I would be happy to! I just don’t know what “run MinGW tooling (including sh)” means.
When I start MinGW, I cd to: C:\01Code\ATW\build
That’s the directory I ran make from. Are you asking me to move the build to the directory where MinGW is installed? I’m open to any suggestions, I just want to understanding how to implement the advice.
Oh it does, sorry, I just copied and pasted the windows filepath where I put the build files.
In MinGW, it looks like you have it above (screenshot below)
Oh nice, that sheds some more light on this. I bolded the section that looks like it gives the most information.
EDIT: Including several blocks of output here.
1. AFTER runningmake installonce (and failing),make install VERBOSE=1gave the following output:
make install VERBOSE=1

2. Cleared out the build folder, ran cmake command again, then ran a “fresh”make install =VERBOSE, with the following output:
Okay, I got it to run. I’m not sure which of these things did the trick, but here is what I did:
Uninstalled MSYS2 entirely, rebooted.
Reinstalled MSYS2, rebooted.
Opened MINGW64, ran the following commands: pacman -Suy pacman -Suy (again x2) pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake pacman -S make pacman -Suy
Closed MINGW64, updated system environmental variable PATH to include the following directories:
o C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\ (this was already there, just being thorough)
o C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\
o C:\msys64\mingw64\
Opened MING64, ran the scripts again, everything went through this time.
