[Linux] External ffmpeg - incorporate or reference? - Prof Yaffle - 2011-09-07
Oh wise and generous community...
Can anyone answer this for me, please: if I compile XBMC with external ffmpeg, does it:
1. Incorporate the external ffmpeg (e.g. header files) and compile elements into the xbmc.bin target, or
2. Merely reference the external shared libraries which are then called at run time?
I ask because I need to compile with several versions of ffmpeg as part of a bug hunt, and don't know if I need to re-compile XBMC every time I check out and compile a different version of ffmpeg.
Thanks.

Thanks, I feared as much!
Ah, well, a few hours on each iteration if I can get it to go - but better to know that in advance.
Cheers....
