Description

I see that "--disable-programs" is among the configure parameters. When I try to enable it, I get

I saw that on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/desktop-to-uwp-prepare that SetDllDirectory is not available on UWP, don't know if that is related?

Is there a way to create the ffmpeg executables on windows? I was trying to compile for Win10 ARM.

Research direction

Start with the configure --disable-programs path and the errors in cmdutils.c, using common.mak as the reported build entry point. Check whether the Windows APIs named in the compiler output are available for the Win10 ARM target; done means the FFmpeg executables build successfully on Windows ARM without these errors.
