If you build with a custom - compiler it will likely introduce non-standard runtime - requirements. There are of course many valid reasons to build with - unbundled compilers, but be aware it is generally unsupported and - left as an exercise to the reader. - -The following general tools are used on various platforms and it is -recommended you use these versions or similar: - - * subversion - 1.5.5 - - * python - Python 2.4.6 - - * curl - curl 7.19.3 (or wget) - - * m4 - GNU M4 1.4.6 - - * make - GNU Make 3.81 - - * patch - Patch 2.5.8 - - * tar - GNU tar 1.15.1 - - * wget - GNU Wget 1.11.4 (or curl) - -The GTK UI introduces some significant extra build requirements.

Upon completion of the following commands you -should have a fresh build of HandBrake. Further instructions are -available beginning with *Note overview:: which describes procedures -suitable for repeating builds. This chapter should be skipped by those -seeking more than a minimalist build. - - svn checkout svn://svn.handbrake.fr/HandBrake/trunk hb-trunk - cd hb-trunk - ./configure --launch - -The special option `--launch' selects launch mode and performs the -following steps: - - * assert scratch directory `build/' does not exist - - * create scratch directory `build/' - - * change to directory `build/' - - * launch `make' - - * capture build output to `build/log/build.txt' - - * echo build output - - * print elapsed time - - * indicate if build ultimately succeeded or failed - -4 Overview -********** - -Linux builds are performed from a terminal. There is no support for -building from any IDEs. - -5 Building via Terminal -*********************** - -5.1 Checkout Sources -==================== - -Checkout HandBrake from the official source-code repository. - - svn checkout svn://svn.handbrake.fr/HandBrake/trunk hb-trunk - cd hb-trunk - -Sources are checked out from the `trunk' branch. This document was -generated from that very branch, and for example purposes, we will use -exactly the same branch. - -If you have write-access to the repository, then you may add the -appropriate login/password information as needed. It is recommended to -use Subversion 1.5.0 or higher. Lower versions should also work. - -5.2 Configure -============= - -Configure the build system. - - ./configure - -Configure will automatically create a scratch build directory `build' -unless you use GNU-style build procedures and first `cd' to a directory -other than top-level source. Additionally you may specify use `--build' -to specify the directory. The name of the directory is arbitrary but it -is recommended to use something which indicates transient files which -are not checked into the repository. - -The `configure' utility accepts many options. It is recommended that -you specify `--help' for the complete list of options. The following -options are also documented here: - -`--help' - List available options. - -`--src=DIR' - Specify top-level source directory for HandBrake sources. - -`--build=DIR' - Specify destination directory for final product install. The - default is to use either `build' if in the top-level source - directory, otherwise `.' - -`--prefix=DIR' - Specify destination directory for final product install. This - defaults to a reasonable platform-specific value. - -`--launch' - All-in-one option which launches the build and logs output - automatically. Useful for novices and quickstart procedures. - -`--disable-xcode' - Disable shunting the build through Xcode. If this option is - applied, `HandBrakeCLI' will be produced in a similare fashion as - it is on other platforms; sans Xcode. Mac OS X only. - -`--disable-gtk' - Disable building the GTK GUI on applicable platforms such as - Linux. - -`--debug=MODE' - Select debug mode. Must be one of `none', `min', `std', `max'. - This generally maps to gcc options `-g0', `-g1', `-g2', `-g3'. - -`--optimize=MODE' - Select optimize mode. Must be one of `none', `speed', `size'. - This generally maps to gcc options `-g0', `-O0', `-O3', `-Os'. - -`--arch=MODE' - Select build architecture. The available architectures vary by - platform. Most platforms support exactly one architecture except - Mac OS X which has support for various universal binary - architectures. The available choices are hard-coded per platform - and no sanity checks for the required tools are performed. - - -Clean-room procedures dictate that when certain factors change, old -builds should be scrapped and new builds configured. This is the main -reason for requiring a scratch directory; to promote consistent, -reliable and clean software builds. The following is a short list of -some of the reasons why someone may choose to scrap an existing build: - - * configure with different options - - * subversion working dir is updated and you want configure to - re-evaluate working dir metadata. - - * build corruption is suspected - -There are generally two methods for scrapping a build. The `build' -directory can be recusrively removed which has the effect of loosing -your existing configuration but does guarantee no residuals are left -behind. The other method is to ask the build system to perform an `make -xclean'. This is known to work well but will leave empty directories -behind. However, the configuration is left intact. - -5.3 Build -========= - -Build main product. All necessary dependencies are also built if -required. - - make - -Parallel builds may optionally be enabled. Be aware that while a -parallel build may save time on systems with additional cores, the -output is often mixed, overlapped and sometimes even corrupted with -binary characters. Thus if you experience a build issue, you should -clean and redo the build in default serial mode to produce a readable -log. The following command allows for up to 4 concurrent jobs via make: - - make -j4 - -5.4 Make Targets -================ - -The build system supports passing many kinds of targets some of which -become very useful in normal development cycles. The targets by -convention are lower-case words passed to `make'. Global targets are -one-word targets. Scoped targets are usually two-words seperated by a -period. - -5.4.1 Global ------------- - -`make' - Alias for `make build'. - -`make build' - Build main product. All necessary dependencies are also built if - required. - -`make clean' - Clean all build output excluding contrib modules. Configuration is - retained. - -`make install' - Perform final product(s) install. This will install build - products to a standard directory or one specified via `configure - --prefix' option. - -`make uninstall' - Perform final product(s) uninstall. This will uninstall any - products which may have been previously installed. - -`make xclean' - Clean all build output including contrib modules. Configuration is - retained. - -`make doc' - Build auto-generated project documentation. Various articles are - produced and may be found in `build/doc/articles'. - -`make report.help' - Print list of available makefile vars report targets. These - reports detail var definitions and expanded values used by the - build system. For experts only. - -`make report.all' - Convenience target which aggregates all reports. For experts only. - -5.4.2 General Modules ---------------------- - -General modules such as `libhb', `test' and `gtk' have the following -scoped targets: - -`make MODULE.build' - Build MODULE. - -`make MODULE.clean' - Clean build output for MODULE. - -5.4.3 Contrib Modules ---------------------- - -Contrib modules such as `a52dec', `bzip2', `faac', `faad2', `ffmpeg', -`lame', `libdca', `libdvdread', `libmkv', `libmp4v2', `libogg', -`libsamplerate', `libtheora', `libvorbis', `mpeg2dec', `x264', -`xvidcore' and `zlib' have the following scoped targets: - -`make MODULE.fetch' - Download source tarball from the Internet and save to - `TOP/downloads' directory. No checksumming is performed. - -`make MODULE.extract' - Extract source tarball into `build' tree. - -`make MODULE.patch' - Apply appropriate patches (if any) to module sources. - -`make MODULE.configure' - Configure module sources. This usually invokes autotool configure. - -`make MODULE.build' - Build module. This usually invokes autotool build. - -`make MODULE.install' - Install module products such as headers and libraries into `build' - tree. This usually invokes autotool install. - -`make MODULE.uninstall' - Uninstall module products; generally the reverse of install. This - usually invokes autotool uninstall. - -`make MODULE.clean' - Clean module; generally the reverse of build. This usually - invokes autotool clean. - -`make MODULE.xclean' - Extra clean module; first invokes uninstall then recursively - removes the module build directory. - -5.4.4 Contrib Touch and Untouch -------------------------------- - -Also available are some very granular targets which help force builds -from specific cycle points. The following targets are available to -touch and untouch the respective module target; this will force the -build system to treat the target as satisfied after a touch or -unsatisfied after an untouch: - - * make MODULE.extract.touch - - * make MODULE.extract.untouch - - * make MODULE.patch.touch - - * make MODULE.patch.untouch - - * make MODULE.configure.touch - - * make MODULE.configure.untouch - - * make MODULE.build.touch - - * make MODULE.build.untouch - - * make MODULE.install.touch - - * make MODULE.install.untouch - -5.4.5 Contrib Aggregates ------------------------- - -For convenience, the following targets aggregate the all contrib -modules' respective targets together: - - * make contrib.fetch - - * make contrib.extract - - * make contrib.patch - - * make contrib.configure - - * make contrib.build - - * make contrib.install - - * make contrib.uninstall - - * make contrib.clean - - * make contrib.xclean - -5.5 Customizing Make -==================== - -If the need arises to override settings in the build system -(essentially gnu-make variables) the recommended method is to create -optional include files which are automatically included if present and -follow this naming convention; Do not check these files into the -respository: - -`_SRC_/custom.defs' - Custom makevar definitions outside `build'. Suitable for settings - which apply across all builds for a particular checkout; or which - survives manual removal of `build'. - -`_SRC_/custom.rules' - Custom make rules outside `build'. Suitable for settings which - apply across all builds for a particular checkout; or which - survives manual removal of `build'. - -`_BUILD_/GNUmakefile.custom.defs' - Custom makevar definitions specific to a `build' directory. - -`_BUILD_/GNUmakefile.custom.rules' - Custom makevar rules specific to a `build' directory. - - -The purpose is to allow a place to store local build settings for -testing, tweaking, and experimenting with build configuration without -losing your settings if `configure' is invoked; ie: `configure' would -overwrite `GNUmakefile' and any customizations contained therein would -be lost. Here is a short example of what the contents of -`_SRC_/custom.defs' might contain: - - ## bump to gcc-4.2 in current path - GCC.gcc = gcc-4.2 - - ## replace optimize for 'speed' with more agressive settings - GCC.args.O.speed = -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -msse4.2 - -See also `make report.help' which displays a set of reports used to -dump makefile vars. - |
