avcodec

[Nikan Chavoshi]

Hi

I want to use one of omnet++`s  tools that is VOIP tool. It was written for Linux and needs avcodec library. But I want to install it in windows. 

I found its library  (.lib file) but libraries in omnet++ are .a file so that it can`t recognize it.

Can anyone help me about what should I do? how can I find avcodec library and use it?

 

thanks

Actually MINGW can link with both .a and .lib files, but the avcodec library's API is so extremely fragile and changes so often in incompatible ways, that I do not give much chance that it will work without some tweaking of the code.

Every time avcodec is updated in he linux distro, we had to adjust the code to compile. (this is the main reason why the feature is disabled by default in INET)
