FFmpeg currently uses a custom build system, this text attempts to document
 | 
						|
some of its obscure features and options.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Makefile variables:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
V
 | 
						|
    Disable the default terse mode, the full command issued by make and its
 | 
						|
    output will be shown on the screen.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
DESTDIR
 | 
						|
    Destination directory for the install targets, useful to prepare packages
 | 
						|
    or install FFmpeg in cross-environments.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Makefile targets:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
all
 | 
						|
    Default target, builds all the libraries and the executables.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fate
 | 
						|
    Run the fate test suite, note you must have installed it
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
fate-list
 | 
						|
    Will list all fate/regression test targets
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
install
 | 
						|
    Install headers, libraries and programs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
libavformat/output-example
 | 
						|
    Build the libavformat basic example.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
libavcodec/api-example
 | 
						|
    Build the libavcodec basic example.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
libswscale/swscale-test
 | 
						|
    Build the swscale self-test (useful also as example).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Useful standard make commands:
 | 
						|
make -t <target>
 | 
						|
    Touch all files that otherwise would be build, this is useful to reduce
 | 
						|
    unneeded rebuilding when changing headers, but note you must force rebuilds
 | 
						|
    of files that actually need it by hand then.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
make -j<num>
 | 
						|
    rebuild with multiple jobs at the same time. Faster on multi processor systems
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
make -k
 | 
						|
    continue build in case of errors, this is useful for the regression tests
 | 
						|
    sometimes but note it will still not run all reg tests.
