The compressed objects will be included in many binaries (and I guess that most users will never ever use them...). They should therefore be as small as possible. But the approach of simply including the code for compression is a good one. It solves the zlib-detection-during-build problem and the .text size of the encoding code does not matter given that bin2c only exists on the dev machine. I'll implement this. - Andreas _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
