Hi to all, Lots of time I see about applying patch to the code. I'm new about this kinf of things. Can I know how to apply the patches? And after applied the code must be recompiled and the libraries reinstalled? And where can I found all the patches that can be applied? Thank to all, Frank

To be honest, mate, I believe, that most of the people here think, that the best answer will be: STFW! That is the first thing, that you should do. As I remember, it is something like: patch -p0 < patchfile.patch And yes, you need to recompile, of course.

What does STFW mean? I think is not a good thing

Yes you can, man patch.
And after applied the code must be recompiled and the libraries reinstalled?
Yes, but you don't need to do this manually if you're using SVN, svn update automatically updates the code to the last version. What you have to do then is: svn up make distclean configure ... make make install
And where can I found all the patches that can be applied?
You can still apply patch manually if you want, a patch is nothing special but a file which stores modification relative to a source code tree, the command patch is meant to manage them, just RTFM if you want to learn how.
Thank to all,

Hi Stefano, thank you very much. So the steps I have to do are: * move into the ffmpeg source directory on my HD * svn update * svn up * make distclean * ./configure --options * make * make install right? I can not find these steps on the documentation. Is there any tutorial available for new users that explain it? Sorry for the dummies questions.

A last question. How can I know when the source code must be updated? I'm asking this because in the ffmpeg web page there is no message that says "a new version of ffmpeg is available". So I would know when I have to give "svn update" etc.
Thank to all,
Regards.
Regards, Franco

Not quite - 'svn up' is just an abbreviation for 'svn update', so using both would just run the update part twice. No harm in it, except for the time and bandwidth, but not necessary.

These are generic steps involved in compiling most things obtained via Subversion, and are roughly parallel to the generic steps for compiling most things obtained by most other means. They are in no way FFmpeg-specific, and so there is no reason for FFmpeg's documentation to explain them. That said, it still might be appropriate to have a basic description of the steps somewhere on the Website (probably on a "getting the source via SVN" page), as many projects do; in fact, it wouldn't surprise me if one were there already.
And where can I found all the patches that can be applied?

There is no announcement because the source is updated on an ongoing basis; hardly a day goes by that there are not multiple changes. (If you want to see every change when it happens, subscribe to the ffmpeg-cvslog mailing list - but if you don't know C the traffic there is unlikely to make much sense to you.) What I tend to do is to update whenever I feel like it - which usually works out to anything from once a day to once a month - and, if I encounter bugs or other problems, update and try again before reporting the problem. If you do something similar you're unlikely to go wrong, at least not with FFmpeg. -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it.

Thank you. Now is all much more clear.
