By running:
nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=release-static RTLIBCFG=static OBJDIR=output
the directory output\release-static\(x64|x86)\bin will contain the tools cwebp.exe and dwebp.exe. The directory output\release-static\(x64|x86)\lib will contain the libwebp static library. The target architecture (x86/x64) is detected by Makefile.vc from the Visual Studio compiler (cl.exe) available in the system path.
On platforms with GNU tools installed (gcc and make), running
make -f makefile.unix
will build the binaries examples/cwebp and examples/dwebp, along with the static library src/libwebp.a. No system-wide installation is supplied, as this is a simple alternative to the full installation system based on the autoconf tools (see below). Please refer to makefile.unix for additional details and customizations.
Prerequisites: a compiler (e.g., gcc), make, autoconf, automake, libtool.
On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a minimal build:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc make autoconf automake libtool
When building from git sources, you will need to run autogen.sh to generate the configure script.
./configure make make install
should be all you need to have the following files
/usr/local/include/webp/decode.h /usr/local/include/webp/encode.h /usr/local/include/webp/types.h /usr/local/lib/libwebp.* /usr/local/bin/cwebp /usr/local/bin/dwebp
installed.
Note: A decode-only library, libwebpdecoder, is available using the --enable-libwebpdecoder flag. The encode library is built separately and can be installed independently using a minor modification in the corresponding Makefile.am configure files (see comments there). See ./configure --help for more options.

With CMake, you can compile libwebp, cwebp, dwebp, gif2webp, img2webp, webpinfo and the JS bindings.
Prerequisites: a compiler (e.g., gcc with autotools) and CMake.
On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a minimal build:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake
When building from git sources, you will need to run cmake to generate the makefiles.
mkdir build && cd build && cmake ../ make make install
If you also want any of the executables, you will need to enable them through CMake, e.g.:
cmake -DWEBP_BUILD_CWEBP=ON -DWEBP_BUILD_DWEBP=ON ../
or through your favorite interface (like ccmake or cmake-qt-gui).
Use option -DWEBP_UNICODE=ON for Unicode support on Windows (with chcp 65001).
Finally, once installed, you can also use WebP in your CMake project by doing:
find_package(WebP)
which will define the CMake variables WebP_INCLUDE_DIRS and WebP_LIBRARIES.
The support for Gradle is minimal: it only helps you compile libwebp, cwebp and dwebp and webpmux_example.
Prerequisites: a compiler (e.g., gcc with autotools) and gradle.
On a Debian-like system the following should install everything you need for a minimal build:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential gradle
When building from git sources, you will need to run the Gradle wrapper with the appropriate target, e.g. :
./gradlew buildAllExecutables
To generate language bindings from swig/libwebp.swig at least swig-1.3 (http://www.swig.org) is required.
Currently the following functions are mapped:
Decode:
WebPGetDecoderVersion WebPGetInfo WebPDecodeRGBA WebPDecodeARGB WebPDecodeBGRA WebPDecodeBGR WebPDecodeRGB
Encode:
WebPGetEncoderVersion WebPEncodeRGBA WebPEncodeBGRA WebPEncodeRGB WebPEncodeBGR WebPEncodeLosslessRGBA WebPEncodeLosslessBGRA WebPEncodeLosslessRGB WebPEncodeLosslessBGR
See also the swig documentation for more detailed build instructions and usage examples.
To build the swig-generated JNI wrapper code at least JDK-1.5 (or equivalent) is necessary for enum support. The output is intended to be a shared object / DLL that can be loaded via System.loadLibrary("webp_jni").
To build the swig-generated Python extension code at least Python 2.6 is required. Python < 2.6 may build with some minor changes to libwebp.swig or the generated code, but is untested.
Libwebp can be compiled into a JavaScript decoder using Emscripten and CMake. See the corresponding documentation
