Please provide the FFmpeg version you are using (first line of git log) and the configure line you tried.
Is the problem also reproducible with ./configure && make ?

prompted to make/make clean and make distclean "library.mak: 95: * missing the separator. Stop" error, but only to use the git clone download the source.
The use of snapshots and linux/cygwin does not appear this error.
This error occurs only in the minsys/msys with git clone

[yxmlines]

yes

[Clément Bœsch]

Could you try to:

git config --global core.autocrlf false

And checkout again the repository?

I'm wondering if the \r\n isn't at fault here...

[yxmlines]

thanks ubitux
'library.mak: 95: * missing separator. Stop' the error no longer appears

[Clément Bœsch]

Great. I think libav has a pending patch to add an entry in the FAQ for this. If it doesn't get upstream soon, feel free to re-open this issue.
