%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ libva-&libva-version; libva Introduction to libva The libva package contains a library which provides access to hardware accelerated video processing, using hardware to accelerate video processing in order to offload the central processing unit (CPU) to decode and encode compressed digital video. VA API video decode/encode interface is platform and window system independent targeted at Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in the X Window System however it can potentially also be used with direct framebuffer and graphics sub-systems for video output. Accelerated processing includes support for video decoding, video encoding, subpicture blending, and rendering. &lfs79_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libva-md5sum; Download size: &libva-size; Estimated disk space required: &libva-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libva-time; libva Dependencies Required Recommended , and Optional There is a circular dependency between and this package. If you need the VAAPI driver provided by , build this package without EGL and GLX support, install MesaLib, then reinstall this package with EGL and GLX support. Runtime Dependency At least one of or the driver shipped within for the Radeon hardware. User Notes: Installation of libva Install libva by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations --disable-egl --disable-glx": Use these two switches in the configure command if you would like to build without EGL and GLX support, e.g. to satisfy the circular dependency with Mesa.
