Install x265 by running the following commands:
mkdir bld && cd bld && cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -W no-dev ../source && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
If downgrading from the bleeding-edge x265-20240812 (it had been
mistakenly used in the BLFS development book for several days),
remove the shared library from x265-20240812 as the root
user:
rm -fv /usr/lib/libx265.so.212
This is for preventing ldconfig from recreating the
symlink libx265.so
with the target
/usr/lib/libx265.so.212
which seems
to be “a newer
version” of libx265.so.209
from x265-3.6.
To install the package, first remove any old library versions.
After installation, remove a static library. As the root
user:
make install && rm -vf /usr/lib/libx265.a
-W no-dev
: This switch is
used to suppress warnings intended for the package developers.
rm -vf /usr/lib/libx265.a: BLFS does not recommend using static libraries.
