Install libavif by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DAVIF_CODEC_AOM=ON \ -DAVIF_BUILD_GDK_PIXBUF=ON \ -G Ninja .. && ninja
This package does come with a test suite, but it requires gtest, which is not part of BLFS.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
The AV1 format needs to be added to the loaders cache. As the root
user:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache
-DAVIF_CODEC_AOM=ON
: This switch enables using the AOM codec. This package is useless without at least one codec built in.
-DAVIF_BUILD_GDK_PIXBUF=ON
: This switch builds the AVIF loader for applications which use gdk-pixbuf. Remove it if you have not installed gdk-pixbuf-2.42.10.
-DAVIF_CODEC_DAV1D=ON
: Use this switch if you have installed libdav1d and wish to use it as a codec.
-DAVIF_CODEC_RAV1E=ON
: Use this switch if you have installed rav1e and wish to use it as a codec.
-DAVIF_CODEC_SVT=ON
: Use this switch if you have installed svt-av1 and wish to use it as a codec.
