Description

I have tried to compile mlt with GCC compiler targeting mingw 32 bit but it fails with this error:

FAILED: src/modules/core/CMakeFiles/mltcore.dir/transition_matte.c.obj

Research direction

Start in src/modules/core/transition_matte.c at line 50 and inspect copy_Y_to_A_scaled_luma_sse, then reproduce the failure with the reported CMake command targeting i686-w64-mingw32. Compare the compiler flags and inline-assembly constraints shown in the error; done means the 32-bit MinGW build completes past this compilation step.
