I've managed to build it using MinGW.

Is there a way to build it using Microsoft Visual C++?

I want to use it with FFmpeg. My FFmpeg and all its dependencies are compiled using Visual C++, so I'm trying to avoid possible problems caused by mixing MinGW and Visual C++ libraries.

It seems I've found a working solution.

  1. Install Meson (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/releases)
  2. Install NASM (https://www.nasm.us/)
  3. Add both Meson and NASM to system PATH variable
  4. Open x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for Visual Studio (to build x64 version)
  5. Apply the following commands:

git clone https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d.git

cd dav1d

meson build

cd build

meson configure -Dbuildtype=release

meson configure -Ddefault_library=static

ninja

But for an unknown reason it generates static libraries with .a extension instead of .lib. I think it's just a typo and it's safe to just rename the generated lib.

To generate shared library use meson configure -Ddefault_library=shared.
