FFmpeg / Web

ffmpeg.org official website

GENERATE THE WEBSITE

lessc is required to generate CSS of the website.[1]

Type make to generate the website. Type make clean to remove the generated files.

GENERATE THE DOCUMENTATION

/!\ None of the generated versions of the website contain the documentation.

To generate the documentation pages, just ./generate-doc.sh <ffmpeg-src>.

In case of a major CSS update, please also update the style.min.css file in the main FFmpeg repo $ cp htdocs/css/{bootstrap.min.css,style.min.css} /path/to/ffmpeg/doc/

WEBSITE DEVELOPERS INSTRUCTIONS

npm, lessc and bower are required to generate the website in development.[2]

Type make DEV=1 to generate the website for development. Type make clean DEV=1 to remove the generated files.

In development mode, the external dependencies are downloaded through bower.

Thanks to lessc, you can edit the *.less sources and see the changes on your browser without having to reload it.

[1] lessc is available on the packages of some distributions. Otherwise, follow the instructions in [2]. lessc depends on lots of stuff including npm, so if you wish to use a lighter version, you might want to check out the C++ version: http://www.vanderkroef.net/clessc.html

[2] Install instructions, 2 methods:

• Install everything globally (root required)

  • Install npm from the packages or the sources: http://nodejs.org/
  • Install lessc and bower using npm: $ sudo npm install -g bower less

• Install only npm globally

  • Install npm from the packages or the sources: http://nodejs.org/
  • Install lessc and bower in the current directory using npm: $ npm install bower less
  • Add the path to your environment: $ export PATH=pwd/node_modules/bower/bin:pwd/node_modules/less/bin:$PATH
