Does this mean they are finally going to support Visual Studio?
Or are they sticking to their - we hate MS, so if you want to use it on windows you have to cross-compile under Linux and then do penance for your immortal soul?
- kierank 16y agoThere was never any anti-MS sentiment - Visual Studio is not C99 compliant and nobody was going to accept dirty workarounds. If you want to compile x264 on windows you can compile it either with MingW or cygwin with GCC. ICC is also supported on Linux.
- spatulon 16y agoThat's certainly one way of looking at it. Last time I tried, I had no problem building x264 on Windows with Cygwin. The problem with Visual Studio is that it doesn't support C99, which x264 uses heavily. That suggests to me less of a hatred towards Windows, and more of a general apathy towards Visual Studio.
