Hello,

I need to use ffmpeg librairies under Cygwin for another application working under Cygwin, so I downloaded the file ffmpeg-0.4.9-pre1.tar.gz

You should not compile the ffmpeg releases, they are outdated (July 9, 2004). Instead use the cvs version as proposed at the download page: cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anonymous at mplayerhq.hu:/cvsroot/ffmpeg co ffmpeg If not available on you system, you need to download and install cvs as well!

from the site http://sourceforge.net/. Unfortunately, when I try to

compile it, 'make' ends with the error message : "strip : ffmpeg : No such file or directory". Can anyone tell me what to do to solve this problem please?

Maybe I am wrong, but your compilation and linkage was successfull!? Strip is just a small programm deleting all unnecessary debugging symbols. Afaik ffmpeg will also work without "strip"ing it (if everything else in the build process was successful). Tom
