The libvpx tarballs are no longer generated by the maintainers. To build from source, the libvpx developers recommend using current git. The source tarball shown above was created by the BLFS team by pulling a git version, and removing .git, .gitattributes and .gitignore. BLFS made no changes to the existing source files.
yasm-1.3.0 (compiling with NASM-2.11.05 is currently broken) and Which-2.20 (so configure can find yasm)
Doxygen-1.8.8 and PHP-5.6.0 (to build the documentation).
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/libvpx
