Install live55 source code in Linux

The command used in this article is:

First download the source tree (http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/public/live555-latest.tar.gz)

Run the following command:

（1）./genMakefiles linux

（2）make

（3）make install 

Next, you can compile your own application by referring to the example in the testprogs file under the live source code tree.

How to configure and build the code on Unix (including Linux, Mac OS X, QNX, and other Posix-compliant systems)

The source code package can be found (as a ".tar.gz" file) here. Use "tar -x" and "gunzip" (or "tar -xz", if available) to extract the package; then cd to the "live" directory. Then run
    ./genMakefiles <os-platform>  
where <os-platform> is your target platform - e.g., "linux" or "solaris" - defined by a "config.<os-platform>" file. This will generate a Makefile in the "live" directory and each subdirectory. Then run "make".
 
 

  
  
If the "make" fails, you may need to make small modifications to the appropriate "config.<os-platform>" file, and then re-run "genMakefiles<os-platform>". (E.g., you may need to add another "-I<dir>" flag to the COMPILE_OPTS definition.)
  
  
Some people (in particular, FreeBSD users) have reported that the GNU version of "make" - often called "gmake" - works better than their default, pre-installed version of "make". (In particular, you should try using "gmake" if you encounter linking problems with the "ar" command.)
  
  
If you're using "gcc" version 3.0 or greater: You may also wish to add the -Wno-deprecated flag to CPLUSPLUS_FLAGS.
  
  
If no "config.<os-platform>" file exists for your target platform, then try using one of the existing files as a template.
 
 
If you wish, you can also 'install' the headers, libraries, and applications by running "make install".
