Error compiling PJSIP on Ubuntu

Question

I am trying to compile PJSIP 2.1 with Video support on Ubuntu but I get the following error when running 'make' :

I have installed the required dependencies and have no idea what the problem is. Reading the error messages it looks like it comes from error in the PJSIP code?

EDIT : I renamed enum CodecID to enum AVCodecID according to Getting “field has incomplete type” and "conflicting types" but now i'm getting the following error :

Answer 1

Seems that you miss libavcodec/avcodec.h and, most probably, also libavformat/avformat.h. This should be because ffmpeg include folder is not into gcc's list of directories to look for header files.

From your update seems that pjsip is building against a newer ffmpeg version that the one available in Ubuntu's repositories. As you've built it yourself, you can configure pjsip to use your version by running:

./configure --with-ffmpeg=<YOUR_FFMPEG_FOLDER>

or

#Copy all library ffmpeg library files into one folder 
CFLAGS="-I<YOUR_FFMPEG_FOLDER>" LDFLAGS="-L<YOUR_FFMPEG_LIB_FOLDER>" ./configure 

Answer 2

The answer to the original question :

While compiling PJSIP I find that CodecID enum has been deprecated from ffmpeg. However it's been replaced by AV_CodecID and also the enum values have a leading AV_ added to them.

Thus after changing CodecID to AV_CodecID, please change the enums in ffmpeg_util.c.

For example this is what the table looks like after the change :

/* Conversion table between pjmedia_format_id and CodecID */
static const struct ffmpeg_codec_table_t
{
    pjmedia_format_id   id;
    enum AVCodecID      codec_id;
} ffmpeg_codec_table[] =
{
    {PJMEDIA_FORMAT_H261,       AV_CODEC_ID_H261},
    {PJMEDIA_FORMAT_H263,       AV_CODEC_ID_H263},
    {PJMEDIA_FORMAT_H263P,      AV_CODEC_ID_H263P},
    {PJMEDIA_FORMAT_H264,       AV_CODEC_ID_H264},
    {PJMEDIA_FORMAT_MPEG1VIDEO, AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG1VIDEO},
    {PJMEDIA_FORMAT_MPEG2VIDEO, AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG2VIDEO},
    {PJMEDIA_FORMAT_MPEG4,      AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG4},
    {PJMEDIA_FORMAT_MJPEG,      AV_CODEC_ID_MJPEG}
};
