1 FFmpeg currently uses a custom build system, this text attempts to document
2 some of its obscure features and options.
6 Build target with verbosity 1, instead of 1, 2 can be used too
7 make SAMPLES=<path to the fate samples> <target>
8 specify the path to the fate samples at make time
11 Useful standard make commands:
13 Touch all files that otherwise would be build, this is useful to reduce
14 unneeded rebuilding when changing headers, but note you must force rebuilds
15 of files that actually need it by hand then.
18 rebuild with multiple jobs at the same time. Faster on multi processor systems
21 continue build in case of errors, this is useful for the regression tests
22 sometimes but note it will still not run all reg tests.
27 Will list all fate/regression test targets
30 Run the fate test suite, note you must have installed it
33 Setting up local fate:
34 use the following command to get the fate test samples
35 rsync -aL rsync://rsync.mplayerhq.hu:/samples/fate-suite/ fate/fate-suite
36 pass --samples=<path to the samples> to configure or pass the path with the
37 SAMPLES variable to make
