Installation of SVT-AV1

Install SVT-AV1 by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr   \
      -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release    \
      -D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
      -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON        \
      -D BUILD_TESTING=ON            \
      -W no-dev -G Ninja .. &&

ninja

The test suite is very long and doesn't provide meaningful results. If you want to test the results anyway, rebuild the package with -D BUILD_TESTING=ON, then run ninja test. It requires an Internet connection to run.

Now, as the root user:

ninja install

Command Explanations

-D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON: This parameter forces building shared versions of the libraries.

-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON: This switch makes cmake remove hardcoded library search paths (rpath) when installing a binary executable file or a shared library. This package does not need rpath once it's installed into the standard location, and rpath may sometimes cause unwanted effects or even security issues.

-D BUILD_TESTING=ON: This option enables building the unit tests.
