 # Compile

 1. Install [Meson](https://mesonbuild.com/) (0.47 or higher), [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org/), and, for x86\* targets, [nasm](https://nasm.us/) (2.13.02 or higher)

-2. Run `meson build --buildtype release`

-3. Build with `ninja -C build`

+2. Run `mkdir build && cd build` to create a build directory and enter it

+3. Run `meson ..` to configure meson, add `--default-library=static` if static linking is desired

+4. Run `ninja` to compile

 # Run tests

-1. During initial build dir setup or `meson configure` specify `-Denable_tests=true`

-2. In the build directory run `meson test` optionally with `-v` for more verbose output, especially useful

-   for checkasm

-

-# Run testdata based tests

-

-1. Checkout the test data repository

-

-   ```

-   git clone https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d-test-data.git tests/dav1d-test-data

-   ```

-2. During initial build dir setup or `meson configure` specify `-Denable_tests=true` and `-Dtestdata_tests=true`

-

-   ```

-   meson .test -Denable_tests=true -Dtestdata_tests=true

-   ```

-3. In the build directory run `meson test` optionally with `-v` for more verbose output

+1. In the root directory, run `git clone https://code.videolan.org/videolan/dav1d-test-data.git tests/dav1d-test-data` to fetch the test data repository

+2. During meson configuration, specify `-Dtestdata_tests=true`

+3. Run `meson test -v` after compiling
