This directory contains build files for dav1d. The actual library
source is in $TOPSRCDIR/third_party/dav1d/
Any patches or additional configuration to be applied to the
upstream source should be kept here in the media/libdav1d
directory.
To update the library source and build config files, execute
./mach vendor media/libdav1d/moz.yaml
To update to a specific upstream git tag or commit, use
./mach vendor media/libdav1d/moz.yaml -r <commit>
To update to a fork, use
./mach vendor media/libdav1d/moz.yaml --repo <repository url> [-r <commit>]
The rough steps are:
- Execute ./mach vendor media/libdav1d/moz.yaml -r {tag-name} # ex: ./mach vendor media/libdav1d/moz.yaml -r 0.6.0
- Update ./moz.build and ./asm/moz.build to add new files and remove deleted ones using
third_party/dav1d/src/meson.build as a guide (confirm with the diff) (note the
empty .asm file in x86_64)
- Some assembly files (notably avx2-specific ones) will generate no code on win32 builds,
leading to a nasm failure like:
"panic: assertion cv8_state.source_files != NULL failed at output/codeview.c:517"
These files can be identified by the `%if ARCH_X86_64` conditional around the entire contents.
To work around this error, move the sources to the moz.build block with the
`if CONFIG['TARGET_CPU'] == 'x86_64'` conditional.
- Some files will be automatically added to the various autovendored_sources.mozbuild files.
In the case of the asm dir, these may cause build failures on particular platforms which
can be resolved by moving those out of autovendored_sources.mozbuild and into the regular
moz.build which has a condition on CONFIG['TARGET_CPU'].
- Files ending in _tmpl.c may be automatically added to SOURCES, resulting in build failures.
To fix this, the file must be moved to the appropriate bitdepth_basenames list where
generate_source.py will generate the templates into buildable source files. In general,
all *_tmpl.c files require BITDEPTH to be defined.
- Clone the tag from the dav1d repo and build a stand-alone libdav1d following the steps here:
- Copy vcs_version.h from the local build/include/vcs_version.h
to media/libdav1d/vcs_version.h
- Copy version.h from local build/include/dav1d/version.h to
media/libdav1d/version.h
- Add new options, if any, in moz.build or config.h
Tips:
- If you see build failures in build-linux64-base-toolchains (or
similar jobs) dav1d may now require a higher minimum nasm version
than our base toolchains currently support. A bug updating the
minimum nasm version will probably be necessary.
