A reminder, if you haven’t already done so, to review:

A good compiler and linker should do this automatically.  (For example, if your application is only a RTSP server  (and not a RTSP proxy server), then its binary should not include the code for the “RTSPClient” class.)  You should not need to modify any of our code to make this happen (and a reminder that we do not support modified versions of our code).

Note that our code was deliberately designed to be useful in embedded or other ‘small footprint’ systems.  (That’s why, for example, we don’t mandate use of the C++ standard library.)
