Build media driver from source code

Environment Preparation

Here will take Ubuntu as the example. For Ubuntu 16.04+

apt install autoconf libtool libdrm-dev xorg xorg-dev openbox libx11-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dev

Equivalents for other distributions should work.

Building & Install

1. Build and install LibVA
2. Build and install GmmLib following GmmLib compatibility
3. Get media repo and format the workspace folder as below (suggest the workspace to be a dedicated one for media driver build):

<workspace>
    |- media-driver

4. Create build_media new folder under your workspace

$ mkdir <workspace>/build_media

Then the workspace looks like below

<workspace>
    |- media-driver
    |- build_media

Then

$ cd <workspace>/build_media
$ cmake ../media-driver
$ make -j"$(nproc)"
$ sudo make install

This will install the following files (e.g. on Ubuntu):

-- Installing: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
-- Installing: /etc/profile.d/intel-media.sh
-- Installing: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/igfxcmrt64.so

For iHD_drv_video.so please export related LIBVA environment variables.

export LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=<path-contains-iHD_drv_video.so>
export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD
