When using the static uvg266 library on Windows, macro UVG_STATIC_LIB must be defined. On other platforms it's not strictly required. The needed linker and compiler flags can be obtained with pkg-config. Compiling uvg266 If you have trouble regarding compiling the source code, please make an issue about in Github. Others might encounter the same problem and there is probably much to improve in the build process. We want to make this as simple as possible. CMakeLists.txt assumes that the x86 based CPUs are 64bit and support AVX2 CMake Depending on the platform, some additional tools are required for compiling uvg266 with CMake. For Ubuntu, the required packages are build-essential cmake. Run the following commands to compile and install uvg266. cd build cmake .. make sudo make install Visual Studio natively supports opening the CMakeLists.txt of the CMake build package has been installed. Otherwise CMake-CLI can be used to generate the Visual Studio project files. When building shared library with visual studio the tests will fail to link, the main binary will still work Docker This project includes a Dockerfile, which enables building for Docker. Build using Docker: docker build -t uvg266 . Example usage: docker run -i -a STDIN -a STDOUT uvg266 -i - --input-res=320x240 -o - < testfile_320x240.yuv > out.266 For other examples, see Dockerfile Paper The paper is open access Please cite this paper for uvg266: M.

There is still lots of work to be done. Code documentation You can generate Doxygen documentation pages by running the command "doxygen docs.doxy". Here is a rough sketch of the module structure: uvg266 module hierarchy For version control we try to follow these conventions: * Master branch always produces a working bitstream (can be decoded with VTM). * Commits for new features and major changes/fixes put to a sensibly named feature branch first and later merged to the master branch. * Always merge the feature branch to the master branch, not the other way around, with fast-forwarding disabled if necessary. * Every commit should at least compile. Testing * Main automatic way of testing is with Github Actions. Commits, branches and pull requests are tested automatically. + Uninitialized variables and such are checked with Valgrind. + Bitstream validity is checked with VTM. + Compilation is checked on GCC and Clang on Linux, and Clang on OSX. * Windows msys2 and msvc builds are checked automatically on Appveyor. * If your changes change the bitstream, decode with VTM to check that it doesn't throw checksum errors or asserts. * If your changes shouldn't alter the bitstream, check that they don't. * Automatic compression quality testing is in the works. Unit tests * There are some unit tests located in the tests directory. We would like to have more. * The Visual Studio project links the unit tests against the actual .lib file used by the encoder. There is no Makefile as of yet. * The unit tests use "greatest" unit testing framework. It is included as a submodule, but getting it requires the following commands to be run in the root directory of uvg266: git submodule init git submodule update * On Linux, run make test. Code style We try to follow the following conventions: * C99 without features not supported by Visual Studio 2015 (VLAs). * // comments allowed and encouraged. * Follow overall conventions already established in the code. * Indent by 2 spaces. (no tabs) * { on the same line for control logic and on the next line for functions * Reference and deference next to the variable name. * Variable names in lowered characters with words divided by underscore. * Maximum line length 79 characters when possible. * Functions only used inside the module shouldn't be defined in the module header. They can be defined in the beginning of the .c file if necessary. * Symbols defined in headers prefixed with uvg_ or UVG_. * Includes in alphabetic order.
