#1769 closed enhancement (fixed)

Make ffmpeg build string available in avutil.h

Description

Would be good if this was generally available rather than specifically as it is now in version.h. Also I think a version.h that has the proper build string in it may not be readily available in a general download of the source code.

Could be a #define in avutil.h or function call.

It's better than any lib_version function for tracking user installations etc.

Can you test the patch?

It prints the info to libavutil/avconfig.h and it should be installed.

Ah sorry I didn't get your meaning by "build string".

comment:4 by DonMoir, 10 years ago

Yeah, trying to say something different there besides version something :) should have included FFMPEG_VERSION though in description.

I applied some of the patches that relate to this ticket and looks good. When it's all said and done I will retest and then we can close this. Thanks Timothy.

How is it? Please disregard the patch attached in this ticket.

The ffversion.h file works for my needs which is ffmpeg build version tracking. The FFMPEG_VERSION #define was like an orphan before but now in libautil/ffversion.h.

The FFMPEG_VERSION string identifies a unique ffmpeg build for those interested.

Thanks.
