[Live-devel] Compiling OpenRTSP with Micrsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition Edition Beta 2

[Ross MacGillivray]

I am attempting to compile OpenRTSP with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express 
Edition Beta 2.

I am using the following instructions (see below).

I am creating a project for each of the components listed in the next 
paragraph using the
   File --> New --> 'Project From Existing Code' option

The import wizard does not automatically import the .mak file for each of 
the
projects, i.e. "UsageEnvironment", "groupsock", "liveMedia", and 
"BasicUsageEnvironment".

What is the recipe for compiling OpenRTSP inside Visual C++ 2005 Express 
Edition Beta 2?

How to configure and build the code on Windows

To configure the code for Windows, first unpack it on a Unix machine.
Then, if your 'tools' directory on your Windows machine is something other 
than "c:\Program Files\DevStudio\Vc", change the "TOOLS32 =" line in the 
file "win32config".
Then, cd to the "live" directory, then run:
    ./genWindowsMakefiles

This will generate - in each subdirectory - a "*.mak" makefile suitable for 
use by Microsoft Visual C++.
Then, copy these subdirectories (in ASCII mode) to a Windows machine (with a 
C++/C development environment, such as Visual Studio).

To use these Makefiles from within Visual Studio, use the "Open Workspace" 
menu command, then (in the file selection dialog) for "Files of type", 
choose "Makefiles (.mak)". Visual Studio should then prompt you, asking if 
you want to use this Makefile to set up a new project. Say "OK".

Note that you will need to build each of the "UsageEnvironment", 
"groupsock", "liveMedia", and "BasicUsageEnvironment" projects first, before 
building "testProgs".

If you wish, you can build the "WindowsAudioInputDevice" project also.

Doug Kosovic notes: Visual C++ 2003 no longer comes with the old I/O Streams 
headers iostreams.h et al, or the corresponding library msvcirt.lib. So 
anybody trying to build the Live.com code with VC++ 2003 might find the 
following useful: A non-sourcecode modification workaround for VC++ 2003 is 
to copy the missing headers and msvcirt.lib from VC++ 2002. In file 
'win32config' add an extra -I switch to COMPILE_OPTS to find the old headers 
and a -LIBPATH: switch to LINK_OPTS_0 to find msvcirt.lib.
