Welcome to the WebM VP8 Codec SDK!

|
COMPILING THE APPLICATIONS/LIBRARIES:
|
|
|
|
|
The build system used is similar to autotools. Building generally consists of
|
|
|
|
|
"configuring" with your desired build options, then using GNU make to build
|
|
|
|
|
the application.

|
|
|
* All x86 targets require the Yasm[1] assembler be installed.
|
|
|
|
|
* All Windows builds require that Cygwin[2] be installed.
|
|
|
|
|
* Building the documentation requires PHP[3] and Doxygen[4]. If you do not
|
|
|
|
|
have these packages, you must pass --disable-install-docs to the
|
|
|
|
|
configure script.

2. Out-of-tree builds
|
|
|
|
|
Out of tree builds are a supported method of building the application. For
|
|
|
|
|
an out of tree build, the source tree is kept separate from the object
|
|
|
|
|
files produced during compilation. For instance:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
|
|
|
$ ../libvpx/configure <options>
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Configuration options
|
|
|
|
|
The 'configure' script supports a number of options. The --help option can be
|
|
|
|
|
used to get a list of supported options:
|
|
|
|
|
$ ../libvpx/configure --help
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Cross development
|
|
|
|
|
For cross development, the most notable option is the --target option. The
|
|
|
|
|
most up-to-date list of supported targets can be found at the bottom of the
|
|
|
|
|
--help output of the configure script. As of this writing, the list of
|
|
|
|
|
available targets is:

generic-gnu
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The generic-gnu target, in conjunction with the CROSS environment variable,
|
|
|
|
|
can be used to cross compile architectures that aren't explicitly listed, if
|
|
|
|
|
the toolchain is a cross GNU (gcc/binutils) toolchain. Other POSIX toolchains
|
|
|
|
|
will likely work as well. For instance, to build using the mipsel-linux-uclibc
|
|
|
|
|
toolchain, the following command could be used (note, POSIX SH syntax, adapt
|
|
|
|
|
to your shell as necessary):
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-10-07 22:13:36 +04:00
|
|
|
$ CROSS=mipsel-linux-uclibc- ../libvpx/configure
|
2010-05-18 19:58:33 +04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, the executables to be invoked can be overridden by specifying the
|
|
|
|
|
environment variables: CC, AR, LD, AS, STRIP, NM. Additional flags can be
|
|
|
|
|
passed to these executables with CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and ASFLAGS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Configuration errors
|
|
|
|
|
If the configuration step fails, the first step is to look in the error log.
|
|
|
|
|
This defaults to config.err. This should give a good indication of what went
|
|
|
|
|
wrong. If not, contact us for support.
