Missing the real common install location

[xxzandy]

Can build. Although it doesn't do anything residing in under my home. What's the right location and for what files?

Did you try the steps in the readme under Using Intel® VPL ?

What OS did you build under? What was your CMake installation command line?

Hi, Ubuntu 24.04 noble Linux msrv 6.8.0-31-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Apr 20 00:40:06 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu 13.2.0-23ubuntu4) 13.2.0

https://github.com/intel/libvpl readme.md says: "if you did not install to standard system locations..." giving the impression that install defaults to the right system locations.

https://github.com/intel/libvpl/blob/master/INSTALL.md: "The following commands will build the project and install it locally in _vplinstall"

So there are no instructions what the normal system location would be. I did as in INSTALL.md:

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

Doesn't matter if I run cmake --install with sudo, it still installs in pwd/../_vplinstall

Libva and media-driver-nonfree have install prefix "--libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu". Should the same be used here?

Hi @xxzandy, If you skip providing -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX it will install to default locations. I believe on ubuntu it will install to /usr/local/lib

My understanding is that /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu is intended for libraries installed by your distro package manager. while /usr/local/* is meant for libs that you installed (compiled) yourself.

Having said that there is nothing stopping you from installing anywhere you like. What is important is that the installation location you chose is in the library search path. You can run:

cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*

to see where ld is looking for shared libs, and install in any of those locations

Hi,

Thank you and sorry for not getting back to you immediately. Your suggestion worked (with of course sudo make install). I'm grateful for your help and suggest that you incorporate the info in the general build instructions.

Please go ahead and close the issue. BR andy
