Needed:

Graphics Compiler
Source: https://github.com/intel/intel-graphics-compiler

Compute
Source: https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime

Grab and install the following, as you cannot build these without them:

Graphics Compiler:
intel-igc-core
intel-igc-opencl

Compute:
intel-opencl-icd
libigdgmm


Compile Intel GPU source in order:


libva

Source: https://github.com/intel/libva

Note: remove previous version by using
sudo make uninstall
before installing a new version!

Note: clean make leftovers after uninstalling by using
sudo make clean
before reinstalling a version!

cd libva
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
make -j8
sudo make install


gmmlib

Source: https://github.com/intel/gmmlib

Note: remove previous version by using
(cat install_manifest.txt; echo) | sudo sh -c 'while read i ; do rm "$i" ; rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty -p "${i%/*}" ; done'
before installing a new version!

Note: remove make leftovers after uninstalling by using
sudo rm -R ./* in build [or use exact path within build to be safe]
before reinstalling a version!

cd gmmlib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j8
sudo make install


media-driver

Source: https://github.com/intel/media-driver/

LibVA and GmmLib should be built and installed before media-driver.

Note: remove previous version by using
(cat install_manifest.txt; echo) | sudo sh -c 'while read i ; do rm "$i" ; rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty -p "${i%/*}" ; done'
before installing a new version!

Note: remove make leftovers after uninstalling by using
sudo rm -R ./* in build_media [or use exact path within build_media to be safe]
before reinstalling a version!

cd media-driver
mkdir build_media
cd build_media
cmake ..
make -j8
sudo make install
