Getting Started

How to get and build the libyuv code.

Pre-requisites

You'll need to have depot tools installed: https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools Refer to chromium instructions for each platform for other prerequisites.

Getting the Code

Create a working directory, enter it, and run:

gclient config --name src https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv
gclient sync

Then you'll get a .gclient file like:

solutions = [
  { "name"        : "src",
    "url"         : "https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv",
    "deps_file"   : "DEPS",
    "managed"     : True,
    "custom_deps" : {
    },
    "safesync_url": "",
  },
];

For iOS add ;target_os=['ios']; to your OSX .gclient and run gclient sync.

Browse the Git reprository: https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv/+/master

Android

For Android add ;target_os=['android']; to your Linux .gclient

solutions = [
  { "name"        : "src",
    "url"         : "https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv",
    "deps_file"   : "DEPS",
    "managed"     : True,
    "custom_deps" : {
    },
    "safesync_url": "",
  },
];
target_os = ["android", "linux"];

Then run:

gclient sync

To get just the source (not buildable):

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/libyuv/libyuv
