Building libwebp as a windows native library (.dll)

  1. Get the latest source code release from libwebp repo.
  2. Extract the archive to a new folder.
  3. Launch Command Prompt with Native Tools Command Prompt which is come from C BuildTools (Get it from "Tools for Visual Studio" section here).
  4. Change the Current Directory to the directory, which you created at Step 2, using this command:
cd /d "F:\Path\To\Directory"
  1. Start compiling the source with nmake:
nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=release-dynamic RTLIBCFG=dynamic OBJDIR=output

Notes

  • Depend on which Native Tools Command Prompt (x86 or x64), the compiled binaries will match the architecture with the Command Prompt's environment.
  • You may need to manually add some directory to PATH environment so that the build tool can find the external tools.
  • see build_libwebp_dll.md for more details on building the libwebp DLLs
