The intel-media package provides a VA API driver for Intel GPUs that are provided with Broadwell CPUs and higher. This includes support for a variety of codecs.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

CMake-3.28.1, Intel-gmmlib-22.3.16, libva-2.20.0, and Xorg build environment
Enable the following options in the kernel configuration. Recompile the kernel if necessary:
Device Drivers ---> Graphics support ---> <*/M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) ---> ... [DRM] <*/M> Intel 8xx/9xx/G3x/G4x/HD Graphics [DRM_I915]
This package takes a long time to build because it compiles code specific to each individual generation of Intel GPUs and for a variety of media codecs.
If you know the model of your Intel GPU, you can pass the -D{GEN{8,9,11,12},MTL,ARL}=OFF
option to the cmake command but leaving the option for your GPU out. Note that the “GEN” number here is the generation of the GPU, not the CPU. For example, with an Intel Core i7-1065G7 CPU shipping a 11th-generation Intel GPU, the -D{GEN{8,9,12},MTL,ARL}=OFF
option can be used so the code specific to the other generations of Intel GPUs won't be built.
Install intel-media by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$XORG_PREFIX \ -DINSTALL_DRIVER_SYSCONF=OFF \ -DBUILD_TYPE=Release \ -G Ninja \ -Wno-dev .. && ninja
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
ninja install
