[mingw64] [ffmpeg shared] LD fails because of several "multiple definitions" in libplacebo?

[vt-idiot]

MABS fails with linker errors for multiple definitions caused by libplacebo? I tried deleting the build folders for ffmpeg-git, libplacebo, and SPIRV. Same issue persists.

I think this is the important bit? Removed the full path from every line except the first one for readability...

I can't even get libplacebo to pass the configure step

Weird. That part seems to work fine on my end. Here's some stuff from \build\libplacebo-git\build-64bit since I'm not sure if logs.zip includes everything or just the logs from the package that failed (ffmpeg). If there's anything else that might help someone figure it out, let me know.

ab-suite.build.log
ab-suite.install.log
ab-suite.meson.log

and \build\libplacebo-git\build-64bit\meson-private\__CMake_compiler_info__\CMakeFiles\CMakeConfigureLog.yaml.log for good measure?

I know very little about how this all works, but doesn't multiple definition... mean that it's trying to link against libplacebo in a way that it shouldn't?

[L4cache]

Oh I mean the ffmpeg's configure... my bad.
libplacebo, even when I was able to build ffmpeg with some time ago, is broken when using -vf libplacebo, at least on my side, so there's definitely something wrong

Ah. ffmpeg configure took two hours on my end, but it did finish. If I can tie my computer up for another 8 hours because someone probably made some more cosmetic commits to curl and libass I can try skipping the dynamic/shared ffmpeg compile and going only for static.

-vf libplacebo being broken doesn't bode well since I only care for it in ffmpeg so it can end up in mpv "downstream"

[L4cache]

I was able to build ffmpeg with libplacebo from scratch (using your ffmpeg_option.txt) but it's still crashes when I use -vf libplacebo.
However, I think it's not necessary to link libplacebo to the ffmpeg for use in mpv (and tried). mpv can "directly" link libplacebo, it's mpv's own thing (sort of) to begin with.

[Andarwinux]

You can't mix dynamic and static ffmpeg and libplacebo. Either build only static libplacebo and static ffmpeg, or build only dynamic libplacebo and dynamic ffmpeg.

Thank you @L4cache - I will disable libplacebo in ffmpeg since I never use it there anyways and give it a shot.

Either build only static libplacebo and static ffmpeg, or build only dynamic libplacebo and dynamic ffmpeg.
I don't

@Andarwinux I think m-ab-s is only building static libplacebo? It looks like do_meson in media-suite_helper.sh is hardcoded to build static libraries log "meson" meson setup "$root" --default-library=static --buildtype=release \

[Andarwinux]

You can manually append --default-library=shared to override the template args.

[vt-idiot]

I have never once used -vf libplacebo in ffmpeg so I just disabled it entirely in ffmpeg_options.txt which got it to compile.

We'll see if this make it all the way to mpv or not, then I'll just close this issue since it appears to be core to how libplacebo itself is compiled on Windows ? and would probably require building libplacebo twice.

If you've come across this issue later and are now reading this, and you build both dynamic and static ffmpeg, make a copy of your ffmpeg_options.txt, call it ffmpeg_options_shared.txt, and comment out # --enable-libplacebo. Your dynamic ffmpeg compile won't have libplacebo.
