We don't use an executable binary of x264, we utilize libx264.a.b8zs wrote:if we have a custom compiled x264 binary, how can we replace the version MediaFork uses?
If you're only interested in the CLI, you can build with jam, that'll make this a lot easier. You can just put your customized source tar.gz up on an FTP site somewhere and change the x264 version.txt file in the contrib directory, then jam. It'll download and compile it.
If you want this in the GUI, you're going to have to go through a lot more work, because the Mac app uses universal binaries prigaux builds, which it downloads precompiled in one package. You'll have to open it up, replace the libx264 with your own build (it'll have to be universal or xcode will barf i think), repackage, and change the URL in the contrib download shell script in the main source directory to one where you'll host it.
May I ask what kind of customizations your build of x264 has over the latest official revision?
