Building generally consists of + "configuring" with your desired build options, then using GNU make to build + the application. + + 1. Prerequisites + + * All x86 targets require the Yasm[1] assembler be installed[2]. + * All Windows builds require that Cygwin[3] or MSYS2[4] be installed. + * Building the documentation requires Doxygen[5]. If you do not + have this package, the install-docs option will be disabled. + * Downloading the data for the unit tests requires curl[6] and sha1sum. + sha1sum is provided via the GNU coreutils, installed by default on + many *nix platforms, as well as MinGW and Cygwin. If coreutils is not + available, a compatible version of sha1sum can be built from + source[7]. These requirements are optional if not running the unit + tests. + + [1]: http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm + [2]: For Visual Studio the base yasm binary (not vsyasm) should be in the + PATH for Visual Studio. For VS2017 it is sufficient to rename + yasm-<version>-<arch>.exe to yasm.exe and place it in: + Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2017/<level>/Common7/Tools/ + [3]: http://www.cygwin.com + [4]: http://www.msys2.org/ + [5]: http://www.doxygen.org + [6]: http://curl.haxx.se + [7]: http://www.microbrew.org/tools/md5sha1sum/ + + 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. Compiler analyzers + Compilers have added sanitizers which instrument binaries with information + about address calculation, memory usage, threading, undefined behavior, and + other common errors. To simplify building libvpx with some of these features + use tools/set_analyzer_env.sh before running configure. It will set the + compiler and necessary flags for building as well as environment variables + read by the analyzer when testing the binaries. + $ source ../libvpx/tools/set_analyzer_env.sh address + + 5. 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: + + arm64-android-gcc + arm64-darwin-gcc + arm64-darwin20-gcc + arm64-linux-gcc + arm64-win64-gcc + arm64-win64-vs15 + armv7-android-gcc + armv7-darwin-gcc + armv7-linux-rvct + armv7-linux-gcc + armv7-none-rvct + armv7-win32-gcc + armv7-win32-vs14 + armv7-win32-vs15 + armv7s-darwin-gcc + armv8-linux-gcc + mips32-linux-gcc + mips64-linux-gcc + ppc64le-linux-gcc + sparc-solaris-gcc + x86-android-gcc + x86-darwin8-gcc + x86-darwin8-icc + x86-darwin9-gcc + x86-darwin9-icc + x86-darwin10-gcc + x86-darwin11-gcc + x86-darwin12-gcc + x86-darwin13-gcc + x86-darwin14-gcc + x86-darwin15-gcc + x86-darwin16-gcc + x86-darwin17-gcc + x86-iphonesimulator-gcc + x86-linux-gcc + x86-linux-icc + x86-os2-gcc + x86-solaris-gcc + x86-win32-gcc + x86-win32-vs14 + x86-win32-vs15 + x86-win32-vs16 + x86-win32-vs17 + x86_64-android-gcc + x86_64-darwin9-gcc + x86_64-darwin10-gcc + x86_64-darwin11-gcc + x86_64-darwin12-gcc + x86_64-darwin13-gcc + x86_64-darwin14-gcc + x86_64-darwin15-gcc + x86_64-darwin16-gcc + x86_64-darwin17-gcc + x86_64-darwin18-gcc + x86_64-darwin19-gcc + x86_64-darwin20-gcc + x86_64-iphonesimulator-gcc + x86_64-linux-gcc + x86_64-linux-icc + x86_64-solaris-gcc + x86_64-win64-gcc + x86_64-win64-vs14 + x86_64-win64-vs15 + x86_64-win64-vs16 + x86_64-win64-vs17 + 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): + + $ CROSS=mipsel-linux-uclibc- ../libvpx/configure + + 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. + + 6. Configuration errors + If the configuration step fails, the first step is to look in the error log. + This defaults to config.log. This should give a good indication of what went + wrong. If not, contact us for support. + +VP8/VP9 TEST VECTORS: + The test vectors can be downloaded and verified using the build system after + running configure. To specify an alternate directory the + LIBVPX_TEST_DATA_PATH environment variable can be used. + + $ ./configure --enable-unit-tests + $ LIBVPX_TEST_DATA_PATH=../libvpx-test-data make testdata + +CODE STYLE: + The coding style used by this project is enforced with clang-format using the + configuration contained in the .clang-format file in the root of the + repository. + + Before pushing changes for review you can format your code with: + # Apply clang-format to modified .c, .h and .cc files + $ clang-format -i --style=file \ + $(git diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMR '*.[hc]' '*.cc') + + Check the .clang-format file for the version used to generate it if there is + any difference between your local formatting and the review system. + + See also: http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html + +SUPPORT + This library is an open source project supported by its community.
