User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libvpx
Install libvpx by running the following commands:
sed -i 's/cp -p/cp/' build/make/Makefile &&
mkdir libvpx-build &&
cd libvpx-build &&
../configure --prefix=/usr \
--enable-shared \
--disable-static &&
make
To test the results, issue: make test. Four tests are known to fail. The test suite downloads several files as part of it's test process.
Now, as the root user:
make install
sed ... : This command corrects ownership and permissions of installed files.
mkdir libvpx-build && cd libvpx-build: The libvpx developers recommend building in a dedicated build directory.
--disable-vp8: This switch prevents
building of VP8 codec support.
--disable-vp9: This switch prevents
building of VP9 codec support.
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
