@anchor{terminal.configure}
@section Configure
Configure the build system.

@example
./configure
@end example

Configure will automatically create a scratch build directory @file{build} unless you use GNU-style build procedures and first @command{cd} to a directory other than top-level source. Additionally you may use @command{--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 @b{not} checked into the repository.

The @command{configure} utility accepts many options. It is recommended that you specify @command{--help} for the complete list of options. The following options are also documented here:

@table @samp
@item --help
List available options.

@item --src=DIR
Specify top-level source directory for @value{HB.name} sources.

@item --build=DIR
Specify destination directory for final product install. The default is to use either @file{build} if in the top-level source directory, otherwise @file{.} 

@item --prefix=DIR
Specify destination directory for final product install.
This defaults to a reasonable platform-specific value.

@item --launch
All-in-one option which launches the build and logs output automatically.
Useful for novices and quick-start procedures.

@item --disable-xcode
Disable shunting the build through @command{xcodebuild}. If this option is applied, @command{HandBrakeCLI} will be produced in a similar fashion as it is on other platforms; sans Xcode and the Cocoa application will not be produced. @value{OS.osx} only.

@item --disable-gtk
Disable building the GTK GUI on applicable platforms such as @value{OS.linux}.

@item --debug=MODE
Select debug mode. Must be one of @samp{none}, @samp{min}, @samp{std}, @samp{max}.
This generally maps to gcc options @samp{-g0}, @samp{-g1}, @samp{-g2}, @samp{-g3}.

@item --optimize=MODE
Select optimize mode. Must be one of @samp{none}, @samp{speed}, @samp{size}.
This generally maps to gcc options @samp{-g0}, @samp{-O0}, @samp{-O3}, @samp{-Os}.

@item --arch=MODE
Select build architecture. The available architectures vary by platform. Most platforms support exactly one architecture except @value{OS.osx} 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.

@end table

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:

@itemize
@item configure with different options
@item subversion working dir is updated and you want configure to re-evaluate working dir metadata.
@item build corruption is suspected
@end itemize

There are generally two methods for scrapping a build. The @file{build} directory can be recursively 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 @command{make xclean}. This is known to work well but will leave empty directories behind. However, the configuration is left intact.

@c %**-------------------------------------------------------------------------
@anchor{terminal.build}
@section Build
Build main product. All necessary dependencies are also built if required.

@example
make
@end example

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:

@example
make -j4
@end example

@c %**-------------------------------------------------------------------------
@anchor{terminal.targets}
@section 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 @command{make}. Global targets are one-word targets. Scoped targets are usually two-words separated by a period.

@anchor{terminal.targets.global}
@subsection Global

@table @samp
@item make
Alias for @samp{make build}.

@item make build
Build main product. All necessary dependencies are also built if required.

@item make clean
Clean all build output excluding contrib modules. Configuration is retained.

@item make install
Perform final product(s) install.
This will install build products to a standard directory or one specified via @command{configure --prefix} option.

@item make uninstall
Perform final product(s) uninstall.
This will uninstall any products which may have been previously installed.

@item make xclean
Clean all build output including contrib modules. Configuration is retained.

@item make doc
Build auto-generated project documentation. Various articles are produced and may be found in @file{build/doc/articles}.

@item make report.help
Print list of available makefile vars report targets.
These reports detail var definitions and expanded values used by the build system.
@b{For experts only}.

@item make report.all
Convenience target which aggregates all reports.
@b{For experts only}.
@end table

@anchor{terminal.targets.general}
@subsection General Modules

General modules such as @samp{libhb}, @samp{test} and @samp{gtk} have the following scoped targets:

@table @samp
@item make @i{MODULE}.build
Build @i{MODULE}.

@item make @i{MODULE}.clean
Clean build output for @i{MODULE}.
@end table

@anchor{terminal.targets.contrib}
@subsection Contrib Modules

Contrib modules such as @samp{a52dec}, @samp{bzip2}, @samp{faac}, @samp{faad2}, @samp{ffmpeg}, @samp{lame}, @samp{libdca}, @samp{libdvdread}, @samp{libmkv}, @samp{libmp4v2}, @samp{libogg}, @samp{libsamplerate}, @samp{libtheora}, @samp{libvorbis}, @samp{mpeg2dec}, @samp{x264}, @samp{xvidcore} and @samp{zlib} have the following scoped targets:

@table @samp
@item make @i{MODULE}.fetch
Download source tarball from the Internet and save to @file{TOP/downloads} directory. No check-summing is performed.

@item make @i{MODULE}.extract
Extract source tarball into @file{build} tree.

@item make @i{MODULE}.patch
Apply appropriate patches (if any) to module sources.

@item make @i{MODULE}.configure
Configure module sources.
This usually invokes autotool configure.

@item make @i{MODULE}.build
Build module.
This usually invokes autotool build.

@item make @i{MODULE}.install
Install module products such as headers and libraries into @file{build} tree.
This usually invokes autotool install.

@item make @i{MODULE}.uninstall
Uninstall module products; generally the reverse of install.
This usually invokes autotool uninstall.

@item make @i{MODULE}.clean
Clean module; generally the reverse of build.
This usually invokes autotool clean.

@item make @i{MODULE}.xclean
Extra clean module; first invokes uninstall then recursively removes the module build directory.
@end table

@anchor{terminal.targets.contrib.touch}
@subsection 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:

@itemize
@item make @i{MODULE}.extract.touch
@item make @i{MODULE}.extract.untouch
@item make @i{MODULE}.patch.touch
@item make @i{MODULE}.patch.untouch
@item make @i{MODULE}.configure.touch
@item make @i{MODULE}.configure.untouch
@item make @i{MODULE}.build.touch
@item make @i{MODULE}.build.untouch
@item make @i{MODULE}.install.touch
@item make @i{MODULE}.install.untouch
@end itemize

@anchor{terminal.targets.contrib.aggregate}
@subsection Contrib Aggregates
For convenience, the following targets aggregate the all contrib modules' respective targets together:

@itemize
@item make contrib.fetch
@item make contrib.extract
@item make contrib.patch
@item make contrib.configure
@item make contrib.build
@item make contrib.install
@item make contrib.uninstall
@item make contrib.clean
@item make contrib.xclean
@end itemize

@c %**-------------------------------------------------------------------------
@anchor{terminal.customizing}
@section 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; @b{Do not check these files into the repository}:

@table @file
@item _SRC_/custom.defs
Custom makevar definitions @i{outside} @file{build}. Suitable for settings which apply across all builds for a particular checkout; or which survives manual removal of @file{build}.

@item _SRC_/custom.rules
Custom make rules @i{outside} @file{build}. Suitable for rules which apply across all builds for a particular checkout; or which survives manual removal of @file{build}.

@item _BUILD_/GNUmakefile.custom.defs
Custom makevar definitions specific to a @file{build} directory.

@item _BUILD_/GNUmakefile.custom.rules
Custom makevar rules specific to a @file{build} directory.

@end table

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 @command{configure} is invoked; ie: @command{configure} would overwrite @file{GNUmakefile} and any customizations contained therein would be lost. Here is a short example of what the contents of @file{_SRC_/custom.defs} might contain:

@example
## bump to gcc-4.2 in current path
GCC.gcc = gcc-4.2

## replace optimize for 'speed' with more aggressive settings
GCC.args.O.speed = -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -msse4.2
@end example

See also @command{make report.help} which displays a set of reports used to dump makefile vars.
