| 5 | COMPILING THE APPLICATIONS/LIBRARIES: |
| 6 | The build system used is similar to autotools. Building generally consists of |
| 7 | "configuring" with your desired build options, then using GNU make to build |
| 8 | the application. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | 1. Prerequisites |
John Koleszar | 94c52e4 | 2010-06-18 12:39:21 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 11 | |
John Koleszar | 0ea50ce | 2010-05-18 11:58:33 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 12 | * All x86 targets require the Yasm[1] assembler be installed. |
| 13 | * All Windows builds require that Cygwin[2] be installed. |
James Zern | f8630c7 | 2014-05-10 11:15:11 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 14 | * Building the documentation requires Doxygen[3]. If you do not |
| 15 | have this package, the install-docs option will be disabled. |
| 16 | * Downloading the data for the unit tests requires curl[4] and sha1sum. |
John Koleszar | 0074863 | 2012-06-20 14:45:22 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | sha1sum is provided via the GNU coreutils, installed by default on |
| 18 | many *nix platforms, as well as MinGW and Cygwin. If coreutils is not |
| 19 | available, a compatible version of sha1sum can be built from |
James Zern | f8630c7 | 2014-05-10 11:15:11 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 20 | source[5]. These requirements are optional if not running the unit |
John Koleszar | 0074863 | 2012-06-20 14:45:22 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | tests. |

John Koleszar | 0ea50ce | 2010-05-18 11:58:33 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | 2. Out-of-tree builds |
| 30 | Out of tree builds are a supported method of building the application. For |
| 31 | an out of tree build, the source tree is kept separate from the object |
| 32 | files produced during compilation. For instance: |
| 33 | |
| 34 | $ mkdir build |
| 35 | $ cd build |
| 36 | $ ../libvpx/configure <options> |
| 37 | $ make |
| 38 | |
| 39 | 3. Configuration options |
| 40 | The 'configure' script supports a number of options. The --help option can be |
| 41 | used to get a list of supported options: |
| 42 | $ ../libvpx/configure --help |
| 43 | |
| 44 | 4. Cross development |
| 45 | For cross development, the most notable option is the --target option. The |
| 46 | most up-to-date list of supported targets can be found at the bottom of the |
| 47 | --help output of the configure script. As of this writing, the list of |
| 48 | available targets is: |

John Koleszar | 0ea50ce | 2010-05-18 11:58:33 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 108 | generic-gnu |
| 109 | |
| 110 | The generic-gnu target, in conjunction with the CROSS environment variable, |
| 111 | can be used to cross compile architectures that aren't explicitly listed, if |
| 112 | the toolchain is a cross GNU (gcc/binutils) toolchain. Other POSIX toolchains |
| 113 | will likely work as well. For instance, to build using the mipsel-linux-uclibc |
| 114 | toolchain, the following command could be used (note, POSIX SH syntax, adapt |
| 115 | to your shell as necessary): |
| 116 | |
Johann | a31a58d | 2010-10-07 14:13:36 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 117 | $ CROSS=mipsel-linux-uclibc- ../libvpx/configure |
John Koleszar | 0ea50ce | 2010-05-18 11:58:33 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 118 | |
| 119 | In addition, the executables to be invoked can be overridden by specifying the |
| 120 | environment variables: CC, AR, LD, AS, STRIP, NM. Additional flags can be |
| 121 | passed to these executables with CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and ASFLAGS. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | 5. Configuration errors |
| 124 | If the configuration step fails, the first step is to look in the error log. |
James Zern | e636af1 | 2013-07-18 14:17:00 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 125 | This defaults to config.log. This should give a good indication of what went |
John Koleszar | 0ea50ce | 2010-05-18 11:58:33 -0400 | [diff] [blame] | 126 | wrong. If not, contact us for support. |
| 127 | |
James Zern | 4bbca2e | 2014-05-30 16:37:39 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 128 | VP8/VP9 TEST VECTORS: |
| 129 | The test vectors can be downloaded and verified using the build system after |
| 130 | running configure. To specify an alternate directory the |
| 131 | LIBVPX_TEST_DATA_PATH environment variable can be used. |
| 132 | |
| 133 | $ ./configure --enable-unit-tests |
| 134 | $ LIBVPX_TEST_DATA_PATH=../libvpx-test-data make testdata |
