Building HandBrake for Windows
Command line interface and LibHB
Building the Windows [CLI](abbr:Command Line Interface) and LibHB (hb.dll) requires Linux and a recent MinGW-w64 toolchain. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or later is recommended; other distros may work as well. In all cases, we recommend you build the MinGW-w64 toolchain using our instructions, as most packaged versions have issues that can produce non-functioning builds.
The following instructions are for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Dependencies:
- cmake
- curl
- gcc
- git
- libtool
- m4
- make
- patch
- python
- tar
- wget
- yasm
Install all dependencies.
sudo apt-get install cmake curl gcc git intltool libtool m4 make patch python tar wget yasm
Clone the HandBrake repository.
git clone https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake.git && cd HandBrake
Build the MinGW-w64 toolchain using the provided script, where username is your user name. Feel free to choose a different output path, if desired.
scripts/mingw-w64-build x86_64 /home/username/toolchains/
This process will take a few minutes, then provide you with instructions for adding the resulting binaries location to your environment's PATH. Do this now.
Build HandBrake.
./configure --cross=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --enable-x265 --enable-qsv --launch-jobs=$(nproc 2>/dev/null) --launch
When complete, you will find HandBrakeCLI.exe in the build directory and hb.dll in build/libhb.
Graphical interface
The following tools are required to build and run the [GUI](abbr:Graphical User Interface).
- Microsoft Visual Studio Community Edition
- Source Tree git client (optional)
- Visual Studio 2015 has built-in git support, if you prefer it
hb.dll(see the LibHB build instructions preceding these, or download from https://handbrake.fr/nightly.php)
Clone https://github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake.git using your git client.
Source code for the GUI resides in the win\CS folder and the solution file is named HandBrake.sln. Make sure HandBrakeWPF is set as the startup project in the Solution Explorer: right-click on HandBrakeWPF and select "Set as startup project".
To build the GUI, select Build Solution from the Build menu.
When complete, locate the output folder where HandBrake.exe is created (typically in win\CS\HandBrakeWPF\bin\..., depending on the selected build profile). Copy hb.dll to this folder. This completes the build process.
