| Building WebM component |
| ========================= |
| |
| This document will quickly guide you through how to build the WebM |
| QuickTime component. The instructions below should work in any fairly |
| up-to-date Mac environment, but specifically were tested in Mac OS X |
| 10.6.8 with Xcode 3.2.6. |
| |
| |
| Build prerequisites |
| =================== |
| |
| * Git |
| - download and install Git (http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/) |
| |
| * Yasm (required to build libvpx) |
| - download, build and install Yasm (http://yasm.tortall.net/) |
| |
| |
| Getting source code and dependencies |
| ==================================== |
| |
| Get the component source code (issue from command line): |
| |
| > git clone http://git.chromium.org/webm/webmquicktime.git webmquicktime |
| > cd webmquicktime |
| |
| Pull the dependencies (from within the cloned repository): |
| |
| > git submodule update --init |
| |
| |
| Compiling |
| ========= |
| |
| From command line, just type: |
| |
| > make |
| |
| Or, using Xcode UI open the WebM.xcodeproj and hit the build button. |
| |
| If the compilation finished succesfully, the component bundle should |
| be ready under build/Release directory. |
| |
| |
| Testing |
| ======= |
| |
| Place the component bundle where QuickTime can find it. From the |
| top-level directory of the cloned repository type: |
| |
| > cp -pR build/Release/WebM.component ~/Library/QuickTime/ |
| |
| QuickTime Player 7 now should be able to open *.webm files and export |
| to WebM format. Give it a try. |
