MediaInfo is a convenient unified display of the most relevant technical and tag data for video and audio files.
First, you must create a directory which will receive the MediaInfo directory, and ZenLib and MediaInfoLib if you decide to compile them yourself.
In this document, this directory will be referred as $BUILD_DIR.
Some dependencies are available with MacPorts. To install MacPorts: https://guide.macports.org/#installing
port install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig zlib wxWidgets-3.0

When you have done all the prerequisite for your configuration, then build MediaInfo. We start with the CLI.
cd $BUILD_DIR
git clone https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfo.git
cd MediaInfo/Project/GNU/CLI
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-staticlibs
make
./configure --enable-shared
make
Or for statically linked executable, if you also build ZenLib and MediaInfoLib:
./configure --enable-staticlibs
make
./mediainfo
If you have already build the CLI, no need to run git twice. In fact, if you re-run git with an existing MediaInfo directory, git will complain and exit.
To compile MediaInfo GUI under macOS and Linux:
cd $BUILD_DIR
git clone https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfo.git
cd MediaInfo/Project/GNU/GUI
./autogen.sh
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/wxWidgets.framework/Versions/wxWidgets/3/0/bin
./configure --enable-staticlibs
make
./configure --enable-shared
make
Or for statically linked executable, if you also build ZenLib and MediaInfoLib:
./configure --enable-staticlibs
make
./mediainfo-gui
To compile ZenLib under macOS and Linux:
cd $BUILD_DIR
git clone https://github.com/MediaArea/ZenLib.git
cd ZenLib/Project/GNU/Library
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-static
make
To compile MediaInfoLib under macOS and Linux:
cd $BUILD_DIR
git clone https://github.com/MediaArea/MediaInfoLib.git
cd MediaInfoLib/Project/GNU/Library
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-static
make
