</div></div>For what it's worth, it wasn't my patches that eventually landed in<br>
x264. It was Kemuri-9's much superior patches<br>
<br>
However you might also find this attached cmake file useful. I don't<br>
have a system with Intel C installed to verify, but this should build<br>
x264 with Intel C or MSVC 2013. If yasm is detected, it will use that to<br>
build the assembly code, making the binary somewhat useful.<br>
<br>
To use with Intel C, copy CMakeLists.txt into the x264 root folder,<br>
then:<br>
<br>
mkdir build<br>
cd build<br>
call "%ICPP_COMPILER14%\bin\compilervars.bat" intel64<br>
set CC=icl<br>
set CXX=icl<br>
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" ..<br>
make<br>
