configure, make, git on windows = how to compile&install on windows

I want to make work ffmpeg-ruby on windows. If possible. Bu开发者_StackOverflow社区t I do not know how to do

• configure

• make

  ./configure --prefix=/opt/ffmpeg --enable-pthreads --enable-shared --enable-gpl

  make

  sudo make install

• git on windows?

  git clone git://github.com/gwik/ffmpeg-ruby.git

  cd ffmpeg-ruby

  gem build ./ffmpeg-ruby.gemspec

  sudo gem install ./ffmpeg-ruby-0.1.0.gem -- --with-ffmpeg-dir=/opt/ffmpeg

-- sorry for the formatting, cannot make it look better

If you've never used git before, you can use TortoiseGit as a GUI interface. This requires you have msysgit installed as linked by Ignacio. Might be nicer to get the sources.

You then launch the msys command line from windows having installed both Msys and MinGW. Navigate to your folder (you may want to mount them - see the fstab file in the etc directory of msys). There you can run ./configure and make.

make install is pretty meaningless on windows and sudo doesn't exist in msys, so skip that step - your binaries will be build in the source code folder.
