Subject: [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] ffbuild: read library linker objects from a file
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2025 20:22:56 +0530
Message-ID: <20250312145538.45664-1-ffmpeg@gyani.pro> (raw)

The linker command can exceed the maximum argument limit on MinGW,
especially for libavcodec.

The objects list is now stored in a file and passed to the linker.
---
v2:
   static linking also switched to use a file for object list
   objs added to clean target and to gitignore
