This check in includes quite a lot of clean up and refactoring. Most of the analysis and set up for the different coding options for the segment map (currently simple distribution based coding or temporaly predicted coding), has been moved to one location (the function choose_segmap_coding_method() in segmenation.c). This code was previously scattered around in various locations making integration with other experiments and modification / debug more difficult. Currently the functionality is as it was with the exception that the prediction probabilities are now only transmitted when the temporal prediction mode is selected. There is still quite a bit more clean up work that will be possible when the #ifdef is removed. Also at that time I may rename and alter the sense of macroblock based variable "segment_flag" which indicates (1 that the segmnet id is not predicted vs 0 that it is predicted). I also intend to experiment with a spatial prediction mode that can be used when coding a key frame segment map or in cases where temporal prediction does not work well but there is spatial correlation. In a later check in when the ifdefs have gone I may also move the call to choose_segmap_coding_method() to just before where the bitsream is packed (currently it is in vp8_encode_frame()) to further reduce the possibility of clashes with other experiments and prevent it being called on each itteration of the recode loop.

vpx Multi-Format Codec SDK
README - 19 May 2010
Welcome to the WebM VP8 Codec SDK!
COMPILING THE APPLICATIONS/LIBRARIES:
The build system used is similar to autotools. Building generally consists of
"configuring" with your desired build options, then using GNU make to build
the application.
1. Prerequisites
* All x86 targets require the Yasm[1] assembler be installed.
* All Windows builds require that Cygwin[2] be installed.
* Building the documentation requires PHP[3] and Doxygen[4]. If you do not
have these packages, you must pass --disable-install-docs to the
configure script.

[2]: http://www.cygwin.com
[3]: http://php.net
[4]: http://www.doxygen.org
2. Out-of-tree builds
Out of tree builds are a supported method of building the application. For
an out of tree build, the source tree is kept separate from the object
files produced during compilation. For instance:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../libvpx/configure <options>
$ make
3. Configuration options
The 'configure' script supports a number of options. The --help option can be
used to get a list of supported options:
$ ../libvpx/configure --help
4. Cross development
For cross development, the most notable option is the --target option. The
most up-to-date list of supported targets can be found at the bottom of the
--help output of the configure script. As of this writing, the list of
available targets is:
armv5te-linux-rvct
armv5te-linux-gcc
armv5te-symbian-gcc
armv6-darwin-gcc
armv6-linux-rvct

generic-gnu
The generic-gnu target, in conjunction with the CROSS environment variable,
can be used to cross compile architectures that aren't explicitly listed, if
the toolchain is a cross GNU (gcc/binutils) toolchain. Other POSIX toolchains
will likely work as well. For instance, to build using the mipsel-linux-uclibc
toolchain, the following command could be used (note, POSIX SH syntax, adapt
to your shell as necessary):
$ CROSS=mipsel-linux-uclibc- ../libvpx/configure
In addition, the executables to be invoked can be overridden by specifying the
environment variables: CC, AR, LD, AS, STRIP, NM. Additional flags can be
passed to these executables with CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and ASFLAGS.
5. Configuration errors
If the configuration step fails, the first step is to look in the error log.
This defaults to config.err. This should give a good indication of what went
wrong. If not, contact us for support.
