In essence, the tagtraum FFmpeg package is a glorified build script that makes it easier for Java JNI projects using Maven to link against FFmpeg libraries.

To build the tagtraum FFmpeg package, you need:

• Maven
• A suitable GCC toolchain
• YASM
• a JDK (to run Maven)

Once you have all this set up, clone the repository like this:

git clone git@github.com:hendriks73/tagtraum-FFmpeg-package.git tagtraum-ffmpeg-package

Once all pre-requisites are in place, you must invoke the *right* profile. Automatic activation is *off* by default.

To build the package for macOS (x86_64), run

mvn --activate-profiles compile,ffmpeg-x86_64-macos install

The profile compile ensures that FFmpeg and other sources are downloaded and built. ffmpeg-x86_64-macos packages the resulting static library files *.a into a jar with the artifact name ffmpeg-x86_64-macos and group id com.tagtraum.

If you would like to change the FFmpeg configuration, add

"-Dffmpeg.configure=--enable-static --disable-programs ... "

Note that you need to add quotes around the entire -D parameter to allow for spaces in the value part.

If you decide to release a custom built of this package via a public Maven repository, you must use a different Maven groupId and honor LGPL 2.1.
