It seems to me like emcc is trying to build ffmpeg.bc as WASM even though -s WASM=0 is set. I have tried:

• Moving the argument earlier and later in the list
• Different optimisation levels
• Removing -s WASM_ASYNC_COMPILATION=0

[erisco]

Turns out, wasm-ld is expected to be called even with WASM=0, but ffmpeg.bc was not expected to be a JavaScript file.

There was some change to emcc. To produce an object file, the -r linking flag is required and the output file must have a non-executable extension.

Thanks to sbc on the WebAssembly channel on Discord for the help on this.

still get error like this:

nm: /tmp/ffconf.bMB3JO1u/test.o: file format not recognized ERROR: libx264 not found

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest version from Git. If the latest version fails, report the problem to the ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org mailing list or IRC #ffmpeg on irc.freenode.net. Include the log file "ffbuild/config.log" produced by configure as this will help solve the problem. make: *** [Makefile:203: build/ffmpeg-mp4/ffmpeg.bc] Error 1

@erisco do you know why?

[aisnote]

so, what's the final solution? anyone help? I meet the same issue.

wasm-ld: error: unknown file type: build/ffmpeg-webm/ffmpeg.bc

build/ffmpeg-mp4/ffmpeg.bc: $(MP4_SHARED_DEPS)
    cd build/ffmpeg-mp4 && \
    EM_PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(FFMPEG_MP4_PC_PATH) emconfigure ./configure \
        $(FFMPEG_COMMON_ARGS) \
        $(addprefix --enable-encoder=,$(MP4_ENCODERS)) \
        $(addprefix --enable-muxer=,$(MP4_MUXERS)) \
        --enable-gpl \
        --enable-libmp3lame \
        --enable-libx264 \
        --extra-cflags="-s USE_ZLIB=1 -I../lame/dist/include" \
        --extra-ldflags="-L../lame/dist/lib" \
        && \
    emmake make -j EXESUF=.bc && \
    cp ffmpeg ffmpeg.bc

I already put the exesuf=.bc there

[jimbojw]

Same question. Anyone know what to do here?
