Error in FFMpeg and png images (glob/libavformat) [closed]

Question

I'm trying to use FFMpeg to produce an animation based on several png images that don't follow a sequence number. With the following command line

ffmpeg -f image2 -r 1 -pattern_type glob -i '*.png' -c:v libx264 mov.mp4

I obtain the following error

As you can see here, for globbing to work you need glob.h.

From my quick looking MinGW-w64 does not contain this file, so you would need to use a Cygwin compiler. However this might not be desirable because the resulting FFmpeg would require the Cygwin dll.
