Jeff. Dee. Thanks very much.

Jeff. 
It would be really helpful if you could post a sample CMake program for a basic project with any of the live555 embedded. 
I definitely plan to check this out and others may too.  Thanks again for suggesting this path forward.

Dee.
With the command line makefiles approach. 
The VisualStudio environment doesn’t seem to have the Workspace option in new or open files.

So after generating the .mak files for each of the subdirectories of “live” and for the testProgs, what is the best way to build and run in ViS 2015 ?


Ross. You may wish to consider amending the windows configure page. 
Its not a big deal except for beginners. 
Thanks !

Additional lines here can be helpful.
How to configure and build the code on Windows
Unpack and extract the '.tar.gz' file (using an application such as "WinZip").
For DevStudio: If the 'tools' directory on your Windows machine is something other than "c:\Program Files\DevStudio \Vc", change the "TOOLS32 =" line in the file "win32config”.
For Visual Studio 2015 [..or latest release]: If the 'tools' directory on your Windows machine is something other than "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0[..or latest release]\Vc", change the "TOOLS32 =" line in the file "win32config”. 
In a command shell, 'cd' to the "live" directory, and run
    genWindowsMakefiles
This will generate - in each subdirectory - a "*.mak" makefile suitable for use by (e.g.) Microsoft Visual Studio. 


Thanks again
IR.
