From: softworkz <softwo...@hotmail.com> When MSVC is used, the definition of X264_API_IMPORTS is required for shared linking to libx264.dll, but it must not be defined in case of statically linking to libx264.
Defining DISABLE_X264_API_IMPORTS allows to disable the definition of X264_API_IMPORTS for those cases. This has become necessary due to: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264/-/blob/ bfc87b7a330f75f5c9a21e56081e4b20344f139e/x264.h#L63-67 A better fix would eventually be this one: http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2021-October/287426.html But there has been disagreement and the issue stalled. This patch is intended to be a stop-gap solution until the mention fix will have been worked out.
