FFmpeg-macOS

FFmpeg shared universal binaries (x86_64 and arm64) for macOS.

Usage

You may compile it by yourself or download and install prebuild binary.

• Compile FFmpeg by yourself.

  By default, our script will compile FFmpeg with --enable-shared --disable-static, if you want to use custom flags, you can edit make_compile.py.

  Available options: --ffmpeg_dir --target_dir --dir, use -h to see help.

  git clone git@github.com:ColorsWind/FFmpeg-macOS.git build-script
  git clone git@github.com:FFmpeg/FFmpeg.git ffmpeg
  cd ffmpeg
  git checkout n5.0.1
  python ../build-script/make_compile.py 
  python ../build-script/make_universal.py
  python ../build-script/package.py --tag n5.0.1

• Install Prebuilt Binary

  You may download from release and install it by install.py.

  wget https://github.com/ColorsWind/FFmpeg-macOS/releases/download/n5.0.1-patch3/FFmpeg-shared-n5.0.1-OSX-universal.zip
  wget https://github.com/ColorsWind/FFmpeg-macOS/releases/download/n5.0.1-patch3/install.py
  python install.py FFmpeg-shared-n5.0.1-OSX-universal.zip ~/ffmpeg-n5.0.1

  Then, FFmpeg-shared will be installed on ~/ffmpeg-n5.0.1.

Custom

If you want to make changed compile parameters, (e.g. add decoders support or build static library), here is a description about those scripts.

make_compile.py configure and cross compile FFmpeg. make_universal.py use lipo to merge x86_64 and ARM64 binary, and then use install_name_tool to fix library load path. install.py unzip and use install_name_tool to fix library load path.
