           Summary: gst-ffmpeg wants ffmpeg to be ansi-strict, but it
                    isn't
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-ffmpeg
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: lrn1986 at gmail.com

gst-ffmepg attempts to compile ffmpeg with -std=c99, which makes gcc define
__STRICT_ANSI__, which makes strcasecmp unavailable in string.h on MinGW, which
makes ffmpeg compilation fail with:
libavformat/avidec.c:293:13: error: implicit declaration of function
'strcasecmp'

How to fix:
A) Don't use -std=c99 (or anything else that leads to __STRICT_ANSI__ being
defined) to build ffmpeg
B) Kindly ask ffmpeg developers to not to use strcasecmp
