README
FFmpeg Static Auto-Builds
Static Windows (x86_64) and Linux (x86_64) Builds of ffmpeg master and latest release branch.
Windows builds are targetting Windows 7 and newer, provided UCRT is installed. The minimum supported version is Windows 10 22H2, no guarantees on anything older.
Linux builds are targetting RHEL/CentOS 8 (glibc-2.28 + linux-4.18) and anything more recent.
Auto-Builds
Builds run daily at 12:00 UTC (or GitHubs idea of that time) and are automatically released on success.
Auto-Builds run ONLY for win64 and linux(arm)64. There are no win32/x86 auto-builds, though you can produce win32 builds yourself following the instructions below.
Release Retention Policy
- The last build of each month is kept for two years.
- The last 14 daily builds are kept.
- The special "latest" build floats and provides consistent URLs always pointing to the latest build.

How to make a build
Prerequisites
- bash
- docker

Targets, Variants and Addins
Available targets:
win64(x86_64 Windows)win32(x86 Windows)linux64(x86_64 Linux, glibc>=2.28, linux>=4.18)linuxarm64(arm64 (aarch64) Linux, glibc>=2.28, linux>=4.18)
The linuxarm64 target will not build some dependencies due to lack of arm64 (aarch64) architecture support or cross-compiling restrictions.
davs2andxavs2: aarch64 support is broken.libmfxandlibva: Library for Intel QSV, so there is no aarch64 support.
Available variants:
gplIncludes all dependencies, even those that require full GPL instead of just LGPL.lgplLacking libraries that are GPL-only. Most prominently libx264 and libx265.nonfreeIncludes fdk-aac in addition to all the dependencies of the gpl variant.gpl-sharedSame as gpl, but comes with the libav* family of shared libs instead of pure static executables.lgpl-sharedSame again, but with the lgpl set of dependencies.nonfree-sharedSame again, but with the nonfree set of dependencies.
All of those can be optionally combined with any combination of addins:
