# Getting Started

How to get and build the libyuv code.

## Pre-requisites

You'll need to have depot tools installed: https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools
Refer to chromium instructions for each platform for other prerequisites.

## Getting the Code

Create a working directory, enter it, and run:

    gclient config --name src https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv
    gclient sync

Then you'll get a .gclient file like:

    solutions = [
      { "name"        : "src",
        "url"         : "https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv",
        "deps_file"   : "DEPS",
        "managed"     : True,
        "custom_deps" : {
        },
        "safesync_url": "",
      },
    ];

For iOS add `;target_os=['ios'];` to your OSX .gclient and run `gclient sync.`

Browse the Git reprository: https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv/+/master

### Android
For Android add `;target_os=['android'];` to your Linux .gclient

    solutions = [
      { "name"        : "src",
        "url"         : "https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv",
        "deps_file"   : "DEPS",
        "managed"     : True,
        "custom_deps" : {
        },
        "safesync_url": "",
      },
    ];
    target_os = ["android", "linux"];

Then run:

    gclient sync

To get just the source (not buildable):

    git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv

## Building the Library with make

### Linux

    make V=1 -f linux.mk
    make V=1 -f linux.mk clean
    make V=1 -f linux.mk CXX=clang++ CC=clang

## Building the library with cmake

Install cmake: http://www.cmake.org/

### Default debug build:

    mkdir out
    cd out
    cmake ..
    cmake --build .

### Release build/install

    mkdir out
    cd out
    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/lib" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" ..
    cmake --build . --config Release
    sudo cmake --build . --target install --config Release

### Build RPM/DEB packages

    mkdir out
    cd out
    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
    make -j4
    make package

## Building RISC-V target with cmake

### Prerequisite: build risc-v clang toolchain and qemu

If you don't have prebuilt clang and riscv64 qemu, run the script to download source and build them.

    ./riscv_script/prepare_toolchain_qemu.sh

After running script, clang & qemu are built in `build-toolchain-qemu/riscv-clang/` & `build-toolchain-qemu/riscv-qemu/`.

### Cross-compile for RISC-V target
    cmake -B out/Release/ -DUNIT_TEST=ON \
          -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
          -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="./riscv_script/riscv-clang.cmake" \
          -DTOOLCHAIN_PATH={TOOLCHAIN_PATH} \
          -DUSE_RVV=ON .
    cmake --build out/Release/

#### Customized Compiler Flags

Customized compiler flags are supported by `-DRISCV_COMPILER_FLAGS="xxx"`.
If `-DRISCV_COMPILER_FLAGS="xxx"` is manually assigned, other compile flags(e.g disable -march=xxx) will not be appended.

Example:

    cmake -B out/Release/ -DUNIT_TEST=ON \
          -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
          -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="./riscv_script/riscv-clang.cmake" \
          -DRISCV_COMPILER_FLAGS="-mcpu=sifive-x280" \
          .

### Run on QEMU

#### Run libyuv_unittest on QEMU
    cd out/Release/
    USE_RVV=ON \
    TOOLCHAIN_PATH={TOOLCHAIN_PATH} \
    QEMU_PREFIX_PATH={QEMU_PREFIX_PATH} \
    ../../riscv_script/run_qemu.sh libyuv_unittest
