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.

Enable the following options in the kernel configuration. Recompile the kernel if necessary:
Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
<*/M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 ... support) ---> [CONFIG_DRM]
<*/M> Intel 8xx/9xx/G3x/G4x/HD Graphics [CONFIG_DRM_I915]This package takes a long time to build because it compiles code specific to each individual generation of Intel GPUs and for a variety of media codecs.
If you know the model of your Intel GPU, you can pass the
-D{GEN{8,9,10,11,12},MTL}=OFF option
to the cmake
command but leaving the option for your GPU out. Note that the
“GEN” number here is the generation of
the GPU, not the CPU. For example, with an Intel Core i7-1065G7
CPU shipping a 11th-generation Intel GPU, the -D{GEN{8,9,10,12},MTL}=OFF option can be used so
the code specific to the other generations of Intel GPUs won't be
built.
Install intel-media by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$XORG_PREFIX \
-DINSTALL_DRIVER_SYSCONF=OFF \
-DBUILD_TYPE=Release \
-Wno-dev .. &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
