Beyond Linux® From Scratch (systemd Edition) - Version 12.3

Chapter 9. General Libraries

gmmlib-22.5.5

Introduction to gmmlib

The gmmlib package contains the Intel Graphics Memory Management Library, which provides device specific memory and buffer management functions for the Intel Media Driver for VAAPI and the Intel Graphics Computer Runtime for OpenCL (TM).

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.3 platform.

Package Information

[Note]

Note

On GitHub we've forked the upstream repository into our own lfs-book namespace and recreated a tag for the release. This is done to ensure the downloaded tarball file name to be correct and consistent (i.e. it shouldn't change when using the browser instead of a tool like wget). Our tag and the upstream release tag are on the same commit, so we've not introduced any change to the tarball content except the name of its top-level directory (that Git does not track).

gmmlib Dependencies

Required

CMake-3.31.5

Installation of gmmlib

Install gmmlib by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -D BUILD_TYPE=Release        \
      -G Ninja                     \
      -W no-dev ..                 &&
ninja

The test suite is normally run by ninja unless -D RUN_TEST_SUITE=NO is passed to cmake.

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install
