[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] Hack to disable implicit rules

[Reimar Döffinger]

Hello,
since I've only recently seen them causing issues (mostly due to MinGW and
Cygwin make being broken most of the time) and found a way that seems
to disable them (although maybe more as a side-effect), I'd like to propose
this patch.
What are your opinions?
