Description

HI there,

I was following the instructions provided in https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/WinRT for
Windows 10 x64. I intstalled all of the required dependencies (e.g. yasm) and checked their location.

When I run

../../../configure \
--toolchain=msvc \
--disable-programs \
--disable-d3d11va \
--disable-dxva2 \
--arch=x86_64 \
--enable-shared \
--enable-cross-compile \
--target-os=win32 \
--extra-cflags="-MD -DWINAPI_FAMILY=WINAPI_FAMILY_APP -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0A00" \
--extra-ldflags="-APPCONTAINER WindowsApp.lib" \
--prefix=../../../Build/Windows10/x64

I get the following error:

cl is unable to create an executable file.
C compiler test failed.

These are the last lines of config.log file:

zoompan_filter_deps=swscale

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Research direction

Start with the WinRT Compilation Guide and the supplied configure command, then inspect config.log around the failed cl/link test. Reproduce the Windows 10 x64 configuration and determine why WindowsApp.lib cannot be found; done means the compiler test passes and configure completes successfully.
