 Wrong. It's just a different object suffix. It's still being compiled by
 cl.

 Eventually make finished. I guess there were no errors because I did not
 saw any error messages.

 You can safely ignore that warning.

 See both above and below.

 > cehoyos, I'm sorry for disturbing, but this very urgent to me in order
 to understand how some functions in ffmpeg works in order to accomplish my
 project. Therefore I need those pdb files in order to debug and see how
 ffmpeg works

 Proper debug flags for --enable-debug need to be added. For now you can ad
 the proper flags with something like --extra-cflags="-Z7" --extra-
 ldflags="-DEBUG" or something of the sort.
