Build
VVdeC uses CMake to describe and manage the build process. A working CMake installation is required to build the software. In the following, the basic build steps are described. Please refer to the Wiki for the description of all build options.
How to build using CMake?
To build using CMake, create a build directory and generate the project:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. <build options>
To actually build the project, run the following after completing project generation:
cmake --build .
For multi-configuration projects (e.g. Visual Studio or Xcode) specify --config Release to build the release configuration.
How to build using GNU Make?
On top of the CMake build system, convenience Makefile is provided to simplify the build process. To build using GNU Make please run the following:
make install-release <options>
Use the option enable-bitstream-download=1 in the make command to download the VVC conformance bitstreams for testing.
Other supported build targets include configure, release, debug, relwithdebinfo, test, and clean. Refer to the Wiki for a full list of supported features.
