In the world of open-source video codecs, libvpx (maintained by the WebM Project) remains the gold standard reference implementation for VP8, VP9, and AV1. However, as any encoding engineer will tell you, integrating libvpx into a modern, scalable, or cross-platform build system can be a nightmare. Enter Dune .
The real power of "Dune libvpx" is not about replacing ./configure , but about . Once you have a Dune rule that produces libvpx.a , you can version-control that rule, share it across projects, and even publish it as an opam package. dune libvpx
(let ((target (ocaml-config target_triplet))) (cond ((string= target "aarch64-linux-gnu") (run ./configure --target=arm64-linux-gcc ...)) ((string= target "x86_64-w64-mingw32") (run ./configure --target=x86_64-win64-gcc ...)))) libvpx includes many legacy codecs (VP8, VP9 high bit-depth, real-time only modes). Use Dune’s (select ...) to conditionally compile only the features you need. For example, to disable VP8 entirely, pass --disable-vp8-encoder to ./configure . Symbol Hiding for Safer Linking Add this to your libvpx configure step to prevent symbol leaks: In the world of open-source video codecs, libvpx
