Compiling Av1an
You can natively build Av1an on Linux and Windows. Cross-compilation is not supported.
Compiling on Linux
To compile Av1an from source, you need the following dependencies:
- Rust (version 1.70.0 or higher)
- NASM
- clang/LLVM
- FFmpeg
- VapourSynth
On Arch Linux, you can install these dependencies by running
pacman -S --needed rust nasm clang ffmpeg vapoursynth
Installation instructions on other distros will vary.
After installing the dependencies, you need to clone the repository and start the build process:
git clone https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an && cd Av1an
cargo build --release
The resulting binary will be the file ./target/release/av1an
.
Compiling on Windows
If you just want a current build of Av1an that is newer than the last official release, you can find a pre-built binary of the current master
branch at https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an/releases/tag/latest.
If you want to build the binary yourself, you will need the following dependencies:
- Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools - this is a dependency for Rust
- The Rust toolchain
- VapourSynth (download the portable version; the installed version could also work)
- NASM
- FFmpeg (thanks to gyan for providing these builds)
- LLVM
FFmpeg setup:
- Extract the file
ffmpeg-7.0.2-full_build-shared.7z
to a directory. - Create a new environment variable named
FFMPEG_DIR
and set it to the directory path where you extractedffmpeg-7.0.2-full_build-shared.7z
.- (For example, set
FFMPEG_DIR
toC:\Users\Username\Downloads\ffmpeg-7.0.2-full_build-shared
)
- (For example, set
VapourSynth setup:
- Extract the contents of the portable VapourSynth zip file to a directory.
- Create a new environment variable named
VAPOURSYNTH_LIB_DIR
and set it to the directory path where you extracted the file, appending\sdk\lib64
to the path.- (For example, set
VAPOURSYNTH_LIB_DIR
toC:\Users\Username\Downloads\VapourSynth64-Portable-R70\sdk\lib64
)
- (For example, set
Then, either clone the repository by running
git clone https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an
Or download and extract the source code manually.
Open a command prompt or PowerShell window inside the cloned repository/extracted ZIP folder and run the command cargo build --release
. If this command executes successfully with no errors, av1an.exe
will be in the folder target\release
.
To use av1an.exe
, copy all the .dll
files from ffmpeg-7.0.2-full_build-shared\bin
to the same directory as av1an.exe
, and ensure that ffmpeg.exe
is in a folder accessible via the PATH
environment variable.
