%general-entities; ]> $Date$ libva The libva package contains a library which provides access to hardware accelerated video processing, using hardware to accelerate video processing in order to offload the central processing unit (CPU) to decode and encode compressed digital video. The VA API video decode/encode interface is platform and window system independent targeted at Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in the X Window System however it can potentially also be used with direct framebuffer and graphics sub-systems for video output. Accelerated processing includes support for video decoding, video encoding, subpicture blending, and rendering. &lfs121_checked; Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): libva Dependencies Required and Recommended Recommended (Runtime) The VA API driver suitable for the hardware in your system: intel-vaapi-driver (for Intel GPUs provided with Haswell CPUs or earlier), intel-media (for Intel GPUs provided with Broadwell CPUs or later), and (providing the r600, radeonsi, and nouveau VA API drivers, for the ATI/AMD Radeon HD 2xxx GPUs and later, and supported NVIDIA GPUs; there is a circular dependency, read the page for information on how to break it) Optional , and intel-gpu-tools Install libva by running the following commands: cd build && meson setup --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --buildtype=release && ninja This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: ninja install First clean the build directory: rm -rf * Install lib32-libva by running the following commands: CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$XORG_PREFIX/lib32/pkgconfig \ meson setup --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX \ --libdir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib32 \ --buildtype=release && ninja Now, as the root user: DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR ninja install cp -vr DESTDIR/$XORG_PREFIX/lib32/* $XORG_PREFIX/lib32 rm -rf DESTDIR ldconfig Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directory None libva-drm.so, libva-glx.so, libva.so, libva-wayland.so, and libva-x11.so $XORG_PREFIX/include/va Short Descriptions libva.so contains API functions which provide access to hardware accelerated video processing libva.so
