Building Google Talk (aka. WebRTC) PeerConnection Example

Question

The WebRTC library getting started guide explains how to compile the library.

The sample programs in ./trunk/talk/examples/peerconnection are not built, however, and there are no make files in those directories to do this.

Can someone explain how to compile this, and perhaps the other Talk example programs on Linux?

Answer 1

I've been able to build them using the ninja build tool. I don't know if building using make is supported as well.

When you've checked out the code, you should have subdirectories trunk/out/Debug and trunk/out/Release. In them, there should be build.ninja files. Just go to one of those directories and type ninja to start the build. The peerconnection executables will be peerconnection_client and peerconnection_server in the Debug or Release directory.

In case the ninja build files need to be regenerated, you can execute gyp_webrtc from the trunk/webrtc/build subirectory
