VS2019 Compile Help

[hornpipe2]

Hello, I'm interested in extending Avidemux to support Intel QSV h264 encode support under Windows using the Intel Media SDK.  I have vs2019 and retrieved the latest source from Github.  I am stumped how to continue from here: there don't appear to be any VS project files?  The guide to build for MinGW is very outdated, and I'm sure somebody has figured this out, as there are nightlies being built using VS2019...

Can I get some hints on how to progress?

The guide to build for MinGW is very outdated

The guide is from February 2021: https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2/blob/master/cross-compiling.txt. Has it already suffered bitrot?

I think proj files are generated by CMake, but I haven't mastered native build on Windows yet. You can build most of dependencies using https://github.com/ShiftMediaProject but usually something is always broken and it takes a lot of patience to fix it (and document the changes!).

I'm sure somebody has figured this out

Yes.

Thanks, that's helpful.  The info I had was looking at was from the Wiki which had not been touched since 2018 or so.  I'll look into these and see where it takes me
