Re: [SoX-users] Build with ffmpeg not working

[D. S. <new...@gm...>]

I should probably mention now that I had some problems with ffmpeg in
Cygwin, but not the same configure/build issues just mentioned.

Persuaded that I might be able to somehow use sox on mpg audio tracks
while otherwise leaving the movie's video unmolested (?) I built
ffmpeg on Cygwin and hoped for the best.

I was able to build and install ffmpeg on cygwin, and eventually even
make sox with the ffmpeg libraries linked in, but the resulting
executable dies (very soon after executing). And, so I stopped
compiling with ffmpeg libraries.  Since Cygwin is a a bit of an
oddball way to be building things in the first place, I wanted to wait
and see how others got on with it.
