<p>Some parts of Libav cannot be built with version 2.15 of the GNU
assembler which is still provided by a few AMD64 distributions. To
make sure your compiler really uses the required version of gas
after a binutils upgrade, run:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">$(gcc -print-prog-name=as) --version
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>If not, then you should install a different compiler that has no
hard-coded path to gas. In the worst case pass <code>--disable-asm</code>
to configure.
</p>
<a name="Advanced-linking-configuration"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="platform.html#toc-Advanced-linking-configuration">1.1 Advanced linking configuration</a></h2>
<p>If you compiled Libav libraries statically and you want to use them to
build your own shared library, you may need to force PIC support (with
<code>--enable-pic</code> during Libav configure) and add the following option
to your project LDFLAGS:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">-Wl,-Bsymbolic
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>If your target platform requires position independent binaries, you should
pass the correct linking flag (e.g. <code>-pie</code>) to <code>--extra-ldexeflags</code>.
</p>
<a name="BSD"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="platform.html#toc-BSD">1.2 BSD</a></h2>
<p>BSD make will not build Libav, you need to install and use GNU Make
(<code>gmake</code>).
</p>

<h2 class="section"><a href="platform.html#toc-_0028Open_0029Solaris">1.3 (Open)Solaris</a></h2>
<p>GNU Make is required to build Libav, so you have to invoke (<code>gmake</code>),
standard Solaris Make will not work. When building with a non-c99 front-end
(gcc, generic suncc) add either <code>--extra-libs=/usr/lib/values-xpg6.o</code>
or <code>--extra-libs=/usr/lib/64/values-xpg6.o</code> to the configure options
since the libc is not c99-compliant by default. The probes performed by
configure may raise an exception leading to the death of configure itself
due to a bug in the system shell. Simply invoke a different shell such as
bash directly to work around this:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">bash ./configure
</pre></td></tr></table>

<p>The toolchain provided with Xcode is sufficient to build the basic
unacelerated code.
</p>
<p>OS X on PowerPC or ARM (iPhone) requires a preprocessor from
<a href="git://git.libav.org/gas-preprocessor.git">git://git.libav.org/gas-preprocessor.git</a> to build the optimized
assembly functions. Put the Perl script somewhere
in your PATH, Libav’s configure will pick it up automatically.
</p>
<p>OS X on AMD64 and x86 requires <code>yasm</code> to build most of the
optimized assembly functions <a href="http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/">Homebrew</a>,
<a href="http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/prefix/bootstrap-macos.xml">Gentoo Prefix</a>
or <a href="http://www.macports.org">MacPorts</a> can easily provide it.

<p>Libav can be built to run natively on Windows using the MinGW or MinGW-w64
toolchains. Install the latest versions of MSYS and MinGW or MinGW-w64 from
<a href="http://www.mingw.org/">http://www.mingw.org/</a> or <a href="http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/">http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/</a>.
You can find detailed installation instructions in the download section and
the FAQ.
</p>
<p>Notes:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Building natively using MSYS can be sped up by disabling implicit rules
in the Makefile by calling <code>make -r</code> instead of plain <code>make</code>. This
speed up is close to non-existent for normal one-off builds and is only
noticeable when running make for a second time (for example during
<code>make install</code>).
</li><li> In order to compile AVplay, you must have the MinGW development library
of <a href="http://www.libsdl.org/">SDL</a> and <code>pkg-config</code> installed.
</li><li> By using <code>./configure --enable-shared</code> when configuring Libav,
you can build all libraries as DLLs.
</li></ul>

<h2 class="section"><a href="platform.html#toc-Microsoft-Visual-C_002b_002b-or-Intel-C_002b_002b-Compiler-for-Windows">4.2 Microsoft Visual C++ or Intel C++ Compiler for Windows</a></h2>
<p>Libav can be built with MSVC 2012 or earlier using a C99-to-C89 conversion utility
and wrapper, or with MSVC 2013 and ICL natively.
</p>
<p>You will need the following prerequisites:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <a href="https://github.com/libav/c99-to-c89/">C99-to-C89 Converter & Wrapper</a>
(if using MSVC 2012 or earlier)
</li><li> <a href="http://code.google.com/p/msinttypes/">msinttypes</a>
(if using MSVC 2012 or earlier)
</li><li> <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MSYS</a>
</li><li> <a href="http://yasm.tortall.net/">YASM</a>
</li><li> <a href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bc.htm">bc for Windows</a> if
you want to run <a href="fate.html">FATE</a>.
</li></ul>
<p>To set up a proper environment in MSYS, you need to run <code>msys.bat</code> from
the Visual Studio or Intel Compiler command prompt.
</p>
<p>Place <code>yasm.exe</code> somewhere in your <code>PATH</code>. If using MSVC 2012 or
earlier, place <code>c99wrap.exe</code> and <code>c99conv.exe</code> somewhere in your
<code>PATH</code> as well.
</p>
<p>Next, make sure any other headers and libs you want to use, such as zlib, are
located in a spot that the compiler can see. Do so by modifying the <code>LIB</code>
and <code>INCLUDE</code> environment variables to include the <strong>Windows-style</strong>
paths to these directories. Alternatively, you can try and use the
<code>--extra-cflags</code>/<code>--extra-ldflags</code> configure options. If using MSVC
2012 or earlier, place <code>inttypes.h</code> somewhere the compiler can see too.
</p>
<p>Finally, run:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">For MSVC:
./configure --toolchain=msvc
For ICL:
./configure --toolchain=icl
make
make install
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>If you wish to compile shared libraries, add <code>--enable-shared</code> to your
configure options. Note that due to the way MSVC and ICL handle DLL imports and
exports, you cannot compile static and shared libraries at the same time, and
enabling shared libraries will automatically disable the static ones.
</p>
<p>Notes:
</p>
<ul>
<li> It is possible that coreutils’ <code>link.exe</code> conflicts with MSVC’s linker.
You can find out by running <code>which link</code> to see which <code>link.exe</code> you
are using. If it is located at <code>/bin/link.exe</code>, then you have the wrong one
in your <code>PATH</code>. Either move or remove that copy, or make sure MSVC’s
<code>link.exe</code> takes precedence in your <code>PATH</code> over coreutils’.
</li><li> If you wish to build with zlib support, you will have to grab a compatible
zlib binary from somewhere, with an MSVC import lib, or if you wish to link
statically, you can follow the instructions below to build a compatible
<code>zlib.lib</code> with MSVC. Regardless of which method you use, you must still
follow step 3, or compilation will fail.
<ol>
<li> Grab the <a href="http://zlib.net/">zlib sources</a>.
</li><li> Edit <code>win32/Makefile.msc</code> so that it uses -MT instead of -MD, since
this is how Libav is built as well.
</li><li> Edit <code>zconf.h</code> and remove its inclusion of <code>unistd.h</code>. This gets
erroneously included when building Libav.
</li><li> Run <code>nmake -f win32/Makefile.msc</code>.
</li><li> Move <code>zlib.lib</code>, <code>zconf.h</code>, and <code>zlib.h</code> to somewhere MSVC
can see.
</li></ol>
</li><li> Libav has been tested with the following on i686 and x86_64:
<ul>
<li> Visual Studio 2010 Pro and Express
</li><li> Visual Studio 2012 Pro and Express
</li><li> Visual Studio 2013 Pro and Express
</li><li> Intel Composer XE 2013
</li><li> Intel Composer XE 2013 SP1
</li></ul>
<p>Anything else is not officially supported.

<h3 class="subsection"><a href="platform.html#toc-Linking-to-Libav-with-Microsoft-Visual-C_002b_002b">4.2.1 Linking to Libav with Microsoft Visual C++</a></h3>
<p>If you plan to link with MSVC-built static libraries, you will need
to make sure you have <code>Runtime Library</code> set to
<code>Multi-threaded (/MT)</code> in your project’s settings.
</p>
<p>You will need to define <code>inline</code> to something MSVC understands:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">#define inline __inline
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Also note, that as stated in <strong>Microsoft Visual C++</strong>, you will need
an MSVC-compatible <a href="http://code.google.com/p/msinttypes/">inttypes.h</a>.
</p>
<p>If you plan on using import libraries created by dlltool, you must
set <code>References</code> to <code>No (/OPT:NOREF)</code> under the linker optimization
settings, otherwise the resulting binaries will fail during runtime.
This is not required when using import libraries generated by <code>lib.exe</code>.
This issue is reported upstream at
<a href="http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12633">http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12633</a>.
</p>
<p>To create import libraries that work with the <code>/OPT:REF</code> option
(which is enabled by default in Release mode), follow these steps:
</p>
<ol>
<li> Open the <em>Visual Studio Command Prompt</em>.
<p>Alternatively, in a normal command line prompt, call ‘<tt>vcvars32.bat</tt>’
which sets up the environment variables for the Visual C++ tools
(the standard location for this file is something like
‘<tt>C:\Program Files (x86_\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat</tt>’).
</p>
</li><li> Enter the ‘<tt>bin</tt>’ directory where the created LIB and DLL files
are stored.
</li><li> Generate new import libraries with <code>lib.exe</code>:
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">lib /machine:i386 /def:..\lib\foo-version.def /out:foo.lib
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Replace <code>foo-version</code> and <code>foo</code> with the respective library names.

</p>
<p>Then configure Libav with the following options:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">./configure --target-os=mingw32 --cross-prefix=i386-mingw32msvc-
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>(you can change the cross-prefix according to the prefix chosen for the
MinGW tools).
</p>
<p>Then you can easily test Libav with <a href="http://www.winehq.com/">Wine</a>.

<a name="Compilation-under-Cygwin"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="platform.html#toc-Compilation-under-Cygwin">4.4 Compilation under Cygwin</a></h2>
<p>Please use Cygwin 1.7.x as the obsolete 1.5.x Cygwin versions lack
llrint() in its C library.
</p>
<p>Install your Cygwin with all the "Base" packages, plus the
following "Devel" ones:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">binutils, gcc4-core, make, git, mingw-runtime, texi2html
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>In order to run FATE you will also need the following "Utils" packages:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">bc, diffutils
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>If you want to build Libav with additional libraries, download Cygwin
"Devel" packages for Ogg and Vorbis from any Cygwin packages repository:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">libogg-devel, libvorbis-devel
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>These library packages are only available from
<a href="http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/">Cygwin Ports</a>:
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">yasm, libSDL-devel, libfaac-devel, libgsm-devel, libmp3lame-devel,
libschroedinger1.0-devel, speex-devel, libtheora-devel, libxvidcore-devel
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>The recommendation for x264 is to build it from source, as it evolves too
quickly for Cygwin Ports to be up to date.

<a name="Crosscompilation-for-Windows-under-Cygwin"></a>
<h2 class="section"><a href="platform.html#toc-Crosscompilation-for-Windows-under-Cygwin">4.5 Crosscompilation for Windows under Cygwin</a></h2>
<p>With Cygwin you can create Windows binaries that do not need the cygwin1.dll.
</p>
<p>Just install your Cygwin as explained before, plus these additional
"Devel" packages:
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">gcc-mingw-core, mingw-runtime, mingw-zlib
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>and add some special flags to your configure invocation.
</p>
<p>For a static build run
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">./configure --target-os=mingw32 --extra-cflags=-mno-cygwin --extra-libs=-mno-cygwin
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>and for a build with shared libraries
</p><table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">./configure --target-os=mingw32 --enable-shared --disable-static --extra-cflags=-mno-cygwin --extra-libs=-mno-cygwin
</pre></td></tr></table>
<a name="Plan-9"></a>
<h1 class="chapter"><a href="platform.html#toc-Plan-9">5. Plan 9</a></h1>
<p>The native <a href="http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9/">Plan 9</a> compiler
does not implement all the C99 features needed by Libav so the gcc
port must be used. Furthermore, a few items missing from the C
library and shell environment need to be fixed.
</p>
<ul>
<li> GNU awk, grep, make, and sed
<p>Working packages of these tools can be found at
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/ports2plan9/downloads/list">ports2plan9</a>.
They can be installed with <a href="http://9front.org/">9front’s</a> <code>pkg</code>
utility by setting <code>pkgpath</code> to
<code>http://ports2plan9.googlecode.com/files/</code>.
</p>
</li><li> Missing/broken <code>head</code> and <code>printf</code> commands
<p>Replacements adequate for building Libav can be found in the
<code>compat/plan9</code> directory. Place these somewhere they will be
found by the shell. These are not full implementations of the
commands and are <em>not</em> suitable for general use.
</p>
</li><li> Missing C99 <code>stdint.h</code> and <code>inttypes.h</code>
<p>Replacement headers are available from
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/plan9front/issues/detail?id=152">http://code.google.com/p/plan9front/issues/detail?id=152</a>.
</p>
</li><li> Missing or non-standard library functions
<p>Some functions in the C library are missing or incomplete. The
<code><a href="http://ports2plan9.googlecode.com/files/gcc-apelibs-1207.tbz">gcc-apelibs-1207</a></code> package from
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/ports2plan9/downloads/list">ports2plan9</a>
includes an updated C library, but installing the full package gives
unusable executables. Instead, keep the files from <code>gccbin.tgz</code>
under <code>/386/lib/gnu</code>. From the <code>libc.a</code> archive in the
<code>gcc-apelibs-1207</code> package, extract the following object files and
turn them into a library:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <code>strerror.o</code>
</li><li> <code>strtoll.o</code>
</li><li> <code>snprintf.o</code>
</li><li> <code>vsnprintf.o</code>
</li><li> <code>vfprintf.o</code>
</li><li> <code>_IO_getc.o</code>
</li><li> <code>_IO_putc.o</code>
</li></ul>
<p>Use the <code>--extra-libs</code> option of <code>configure</code> to inform the
build system of this library.
</p>
</li><li> FPU exceptions enabled by default
<p>Unlike most other systems, Plan 9 enables FPU exceptions by default.
These must be disabled before calling any Libav functions. While the
included tools will do this automatically, other users of the
libraries must do it themselves.
</p>
</li></ul>
