are the ones with a major version number in their filenames
(i.e. @file{avcodec-51.dll}).
FFmpeg headers do not declare global data for Windows DLLs through the usual
dllexport/dllimport interface. Such data will be exported properly while
building, but to use them in your MSVC++ code you will have to edit the

@example
extern __declspec(dllimport) const AVPixFmtDescriptor av_pix_fmt_descriptors[];
@end example

You must use the MinGW cross compilation tools available at
