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.
