How to configure and build the code live55 on Windows using VS2008-VS2010
Open the ‘win32config’ file and change the TOOLS32=... variable to your VS2008-vs2010 install directory. For me, it’s TOOLS32=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC In ‘win32config’, modify the LINK_OPTS_0=... line from msvcirt.lib to msvcrt.lib. This fixes the link error: LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'msvcirt.lib' Open the Visual Studio command prompt. From the ‘live’ source directory, run genWindowsMakefiles Now you’re ready to build. Simply run the following commands: cd liveMedia nmake /B -f liveMedia.mak cd ..\groupsock nmake /B -f groupsock.mak cd ..\UsageEnvironment nmake /B -f UsageEnvironment.mak cd ..\BasicUsageEnvironment nmake /B -f BasicUsageEnvironment.mak cd ..\testProgs nmake /B -f testProgs.mak cd ..\mediaServer nmake /B -f mediaServer.mak That’s it. You should be good to go.
