[Live-devel] Porting of live555 Streaming on Windows CE

[Sid Price]

I can confirm the same issues when compiling for Windows Compact 7.

 

The problem with _fileno is that it returns "void *" and
"makeSocketNonBlocking" and "turnOffBackgroundReadHandling"takes a "socket"
parameter that is defined as "int".  The MS compiler for Windows Compact 7
considers this attempt at an implicit cast as an error. Indeed even an
explicit cast is a doubtful fix since depending upon architecture of the
target CPU the size of a pointer and an "int" may not be the same and could
under some circumstances cause the truncation of the value returned by
"fileno".

 

The standard "C" library for Windows Compact 7 does not have functions
"abort" or "read". I have addressed this by creating my own methods.

 

At this time the only resolution I have for the cast issue is to explicitly
cast the return of "fileno". Not ideal from a maintenance perspective but
the only choice at this time. Is it possible to update the code to address
this implicit cast?

 

Thanks,

Sid.

In particular I've used the libce 
library to resolve some compilation
error on the flowing functions:


_fileno: has different signature under WinCE
abort: is not available 
under WinCE
read: is not available under WinCE

 

That's strange.  Several other people have built the code for WinCE, but
nobody else has reported having to modify the supplied code in order to do
so.

 





So I'm wondering if it 
is always available a port on WinCE under LGPL
license, this allow me 
to use the library without change the source
code.

 

I don't understand this question.  The code is licensed under LGPL
(regardiess of the operating system on which you use it).  This means that
if you modify the supplied code, and then release a product based on these
modifications, then you are required to also make your modified source code
available.
