Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

dav1d-1.5.1 and SVT-AV1-3.1.2 (only supports YUV420)
gdk-pixbuf-2.42.12 and libaom-3.12.1 (for chroma subsampling outside YUV420)
An Internet connection is needed for some tests of this package. The system certificate store may need to be set up with make-ca-1.16.1 before testing this package.
Install libavif by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D AVIF_CODEC_AOM=SYSTEM \
-D AVIF_CODEC_DAV1D=SYSTEM \
-D AVIF_CODEC_SVT=SYSTEM \
-D AVIF_BUILD_GDK_PIXBUF=ON \
-D AVIF_LIBYUV=OFF \
-G Ninja .. &&
ninja
To test the package (note that it will cause the build system to download a copy of gtest and build the test suite with the copy), issue:
cmake .. -D AVIF_GTEST=LOCAL -D AVIF_BUILD_TESTS=ON && ninja && ninja test
Now, as the root user:
ninja install
The AV1 format needs to be added to the loaders cache. As the
root user:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
-D
AVIF_CODEC_{AOM,DAV1D,SVT}=SYSTEM: These switches
enable using the AV1 codec via dav1d, libaom, and SVT-AV1. This
package is useless without and AV1 encoder and decoder.
-D
AVIF_BUILD_GDK_PIXBUF=ON: This switch builds the AVIF
loader for applications which use gdk-pixbuf. Remove it if you have
not installed gdk-pixbuf-2.42.12.
-D AVIF_LIBYUV=OFF: Use this switch if
you have not installed libyuv.
-D AVIF_CODEC_RAV1E=SYSTEM: Use this
switch if you have installed rav1e and wish to use it as a
codec.
