Not having much luck here!

/opt/build64/toolchain/cppwinrt-prefix/src/cppwinrt-stamp/cppwinrt-install-*.log plz

I guess it's just a network problem.

[twilson90]

It's not producing any logs:

I don't think it's a network problem, I tried to build in docker container a month ago and had the same issue.

[Andarwinux]

So maybe it's because wget doesn't exist? I'm not sure if these dependencies automatically pull wget in.

[twilson90]

That solved it! Thank you.

I'm almost there but I'm running into an error at the last hurdle.
It's failing to build harfbuzz and/or libjxl, but the logs don't appear very helpful.

docker-build-log.txt
harfbuzz-build-out.log
libjxl-build-out.log

[Andarwinux]

This issue is caused by OOM.

For historical reasons, the parallel build mechanism of this script is suboptimal: there is no “global thread pool.”

For example, on a 16-core system, Ninja performs 16 external projects simultaneously by default, and each external project tells Ninja/Make to emit 16 instances of the compiler, which in the worst case can result in 256 instances. This is fine for Clang, because Clang emits "cc1" in-process. However, GCC's driver and cc1 are separate executables, which can lead to hundreds of processes being created simultaneously and immediately exhaust all RAM.

As far as I know, Ninja does not yet support the GNU Make jobserver protocol, so we cannot fundamentally fix this issue. However, you can switch to Clang, or limit the top-level Ninja parallelism with -j, for example, ninja -j2 mpv, or add -DCPU_COUNT=2 in your CMake setup to restrict the number of concurrent compilers.

Thank you! With your help I've finally managed to 'successfully' build a windows executable.
Some problems though:

• When I try running it in Windows it runs for a moment before exiting. Maybe the mpv master branch is currently having issues? Nothing helpful in the run-time log:
  log.txt
• I want to build my own fork of mpv. I tried replacing /home/user/packages/mpv with my own but the build fails:
  mpv-build-out.log
• Also where do I specify mpv build options? (stuff like -Dmanpage-build=disabled)

You need to add keep-open=yes to keep mpv running without any input.

  mpv-build-out.log

This is a GCC 14 false positive, you can add -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types at

mpv-winbuild-cmake/packages/mpv.cmake

Line 56 in 9c153bc

-Dc_args='-Wno-error=int-conversion'

To replace it with a different source, just replace GIT_REPOSITORY, and if your branch name is not master, specify GIT_TAG and GIT_REMOTE_NAME.

mpv-winbuild-cmake/packages/mpv.cmake

Line 25 in 9c153bc

GIT_REPOSITORY https:/mpv-player/mpv.git

• Also where do I specify mpv build options? (stuff like -Dmanpage-build=disabled)

Just add it after CONFIGURE_COMMAND.

[twilson90]

I've tried:
-Dc_args='-Wno-error=int-conversion -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types'
and
"-Dc_args='-Wno-error=int-conversion -Wno-error=incompatible-pointer-types'"

but it's failing to run the configure command.

There's an error log generated that I haven't been able to look at due to issues with Docker. Presumably though I'm just not setting the argument correctly.

(EDIT : my mistake, I had included an extra feature in the configure command without installing the prerequsites and this was causing it to fail)

Also the previous successful build was closing immediately on opening any media file, here's another log (no errors):
