Build/Install Intel® Video Processing Library (Intel® VPL) from Source

This document describes how to build from the source code in this repo. Please note: this repo contains only headers, dispatcher, examples. In most cases an implementation must also be installed.

Basic build and install with CMake

The following commands will build the project and install it locally in _vplinstall. Note that the bootstrap script will install dependencies needed to build the project.

Linux:

git clone https://github.com/intel/libvpl
cd libvpl
export VPL_INSTALL_DIR=`pwd`/../_vplinstall
sudo script/bootstrap
cmake -B _build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$VPL_INSTALL_DIR
cmake --build _build
cmake --install _build

Windows cmd prompt:

git clone https://github.com/intel/libvpl
cd libvpl
set VPL_INSTALL_DIR=%cd%\..\_vplinstall
script\bootstrap.bat
cmake -B _build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%VPL_INSTALL_DIR%
cmake --build _build --config Release
cmake --install _build --config Release

Note: bootstrap.bat requires WinGet

Getting an Implementation

The base package is limited to the dispatcher and samples. To use Intel® VPL for video processing you need to install at least one implementation. Current implementations:

• oneVPL-intel-gpu for use on Intel Xe graphics and newer
• Intel® Media SDK for use on legacy Intel graphics

Follow the instructions on the respective repos to install the desired implementation

Remember, applications link to dispatcher and dispatcher forwards function calls to the selected implementation.
