cannot cross compile using mpv-build scripts

[Abu-Abdullah]

./scripts/mpv-config --enable-cross-compile --target=i686-w64-mingw32

will start to ask about libass and ffmpeg libraries eventhough it will just work fine without cross-compile

mpv-builkd is simply not meant for cross-compiling. Look at DOCS/crosscompile-mingw.txt instead (in the mpv main repo) how to cross-compile mpv. These instructions use MXE, which makes a somewhat decent package manager, and can do much more than mpv-build.

The reason mpv-build doesn't work here is that you'd have to cross-compile libass and ffmpeg too. You'd quickly run into trouble with all the dependencies, and MXE handles all that automagically.

I do not want to use more other libraries than mingw-w64 since it comes with fedora and it is supported by them.
You can use "./configure --enable-cross-compile --target=i686-w64-mingw32" but it will look for installed libass and ffmpeg libraries. default mplayer is just compiling everything every time unless you want to compile it separately.

Well, yes, you need to enable cross compilation for ffmpeg and libass too. These are two more, completely different build systems, so I'm not sure what's required to make them do that.

If you want an automagic solution, use MXE and the instructions I pointed you to. Otherwise, you're on your own, as in, you have to know what you're doing.
