[x264-devel] Compiling x264 with Visual Studio 2010 and Intel compiler

[Kovacs Peter]

Hi All,

maybe somebody else will also find this useful, so let me share my 
experience with compiling x264 with Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and Intel(R) 
C++ Compiler XE 15.0.
I have used the latest stable tarball (x264-snapshot-20140915-2245-stable).
-create a new Win32 console application, create an empty project
-create appropriate filters under Source files and Header files to 
retain structure: common, encoder, extras, filters, filters/video, 
input, output
-add .c and .h files from these directories to the project (including 
those not located in subdirs), except:
     common/opencl.c, common/opencl.h, encoder/rdo.c, 
encoder/slicetype.c, input/ffms.c, input/lavf.c, output/mp4.c, 
output/mp4_lsmash.c
-right click the project file, and choose to use Intel C++ compiler
-in project properties, under C/C+ / Language [Intel C++] / Enable C99 
support, choose Yes for All Configurations
-in project properties, under C/C+ / Output Files, change Object File 
Name to "$(IntDir)/%(RelativeDir)/", for All Configurations (to get rid 
of these link errors 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3695174/visual-studio-2010s-strange-warning-lnk4042)
-in project properties, under C/C+ / General, add "extras" and "." into 
Additional Include Directories, for All Configurations
-in project properties, under C/C+ / Preprocessor, add "HAVE_CONFIG_H" 
into Preprocessor definitions, for All Configurations
-create x264_config.h and config.h with the attached contents, and add 
them to the project
-compile!

This will result in an x264 binary that does not use asm functions, 
OpenCL, or any other acceleration, nor will support many input/output 
formats, but can be used for experimentation, studying the code via 
single stepping, and implement experiments (for the impatient).
The patches from Steve Borho for VC12 were much appreciated - this small 
guide is for those who are still using VS2010.

Project files are attached for reference. Hope somebody will find this 
useful.

Peter
