    tar -xf lame-3.100.tar.gz
    cd lame-3.100
    ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static --enable-nasm
    make -j$(nproc)
    sudo make install-strip
    cd ..

    # x264
    curl -LO https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264/-/archive/master/x264-master.tar.bz2
    tar -xf x264-master.tar.bz2
    cd x264-master
    ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static --enable-lto --enable-pic --enable-strip
    make -j$(nproc)
    sudo make install
    cd ..

    # make shared libraries findable
    if ! grep '/usr/local/lib' /etc/ld.so.conf >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:-} -I/usr/local/include"
        export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:-} -L/usr/local/lib"
        echo 'export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS:-} -I/usr/local/include"' >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"
        echo 'export LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:-} -L/usr/local/lib"' >> "${HOME}/.bashrc"
        echo '/usr/local/lib' | sudo tee --append /etc/ld.so.conf
        sudo ldconfig
    fi

    sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-libva devpkg-libdrm

To build the GTK [GUI](abbr:Graphical User Interface), install the graphical interface dependencies.
