Build SVP for ubuntu 20.04

How to build SVP for Ubuntu 20.04

This was the script I used to compile MPV. As many non-free softwares, compiling is usually hard and requires a lot of time.

last update : 01/04/2020 but worth to try if you read this message 3+ years after. Don't hesitate to leave a commentor contact me if there is any updates to do

IMPORTANT :

• No matter what you would do, SVP won't run in WSL2 !!
• You need at least approx. 1GB of space
• Always read carefully a shell script before executing it. In mine, there are no viruses, but I have dropped some notes in comments.

## this installs dependancies used to get the dependancies and some sources + build tools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y beignet-opencl-icd
sudo apt-get install mediainfo
sudo apt-get install libqt5concurrent5 libqt5svg5 libqt5qml5
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rvm/smplayer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install smplayer smplayer-themes smplayer-skins
sudo apt-get install g++ make autoconf automake libtool pkg-config nasm git

## this compiles zimg
git clone https://github.com/sekrit-twc/zimg.git
cd zimg 
./autogen.sh
./configure
make -j4
sudo make install

## this compiles vapoursynth
cd ..
sudo apt-get install cython3
git clone --branch R50 https://github.com/vapoursynth/vapoursynth.git
cd vapoursynth
./autogen.sh
./configure
make -j4
sudo make install

## this prepares the compilation for mpv
cd ..
sudo ldconfig
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/vapoursynth.so /usr/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload/vapoursynth.so
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libfribidi-dev libluajit-5.1-dev libx264-dev xorg-dev libegl1-mesa-dev libfreetype-dev libfontconfig-dev
sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libpulse-dev
sudo apt-get install python-is-python3

# this fixes the bug "The project was not configured: run "waf configure" first!"
sudo apt-get install libharfbuzz-dev
sudo apt-get install python2-minimal

git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build.git
cd mpv-build
echo --enable-libx264 >> ffmpeg_options
echo --enable-vapoursynth >> mpv_options
echo --enable-libmpv-shared >> mpv_options

## This config have to work  
# git checkout abd0009b7a6ecef7ebc8cd956c494c22b77f0dd3
## this fixes a bug in the previous branch (https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build/issues/150) : 
# export LDFLAGS=" $(pkg-config --libs fontconfig harfbuzz fribidi)"


./rebuild -j4
sudo ./install
cd .. 

For ubuntu24 do
git submodule update --init --recursive
