Cross Compile FFmpeg for Windows – Ubuntu 16.04

The most popular encoders: libmp3lame and libx264. Get the MinGW-w64 Cross-Compile toolchain Build Script and set it up as “fully static build”. A toolchain is a set of tools that allows the user to compile software. With this toolchain FFmpeg can be cross compiled.
