Libjingle
1. Introduction
Libjingle is a set of components provided by Google to implement Jingle
protocols XEP-166 (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0166.html) and XEP-167
(http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0167.html). Libjingle is also backward
compatible with Google Talk Call Signaling
(http://code.google.com/apis/talk/call_signaling.html). This package will
create several static libraries you may link to your projects as needed.
-talk - No source files in talk/, just these subdirectories
|-base - Contains basic low-level portable utility functions for
| things like threads and sockets
|-p2p - The P2P stack
|-base - Base p2p functionality
|-client - Hooks to tie it into XMPP
|-session - Signaling
|-phone - Signaling code specific to making phone calls
|-testdata - Samples of RTP voice and video dump
|-tunnel - Tunnel session and channel
|-third_party - Folder for third party libraries
|-libudev - Folder containing libudev.h
|-xmllite - XML parser
|-xmpp - XMPP engine
In addition, this package contains two examples in talk/examples which
illustrate the basic concepts of how the provided classes work.
2. How to Build
2.1 Prerequisites
Libjingle is built with swtoolkit (http://code.google.com/p/swtoolkit/), which
is a set of extensions to the open-source SCons build tool (www.scons.org).
* First, install Python 2.4 or later from http://www.python.org/.
Please note that since swtoolkit only works with Python 2.x, you will
not be able to use Python 3.x.
python --version to confirm that python is in your path, and 2.4 or greater.
* Second, install the stand alone scons-local zip package 2.0.0 or later from
http://www.scons.org/download.php and set an environment variable,
SCONS_DIR, to point to the directory containing SCons.
For example, on Windows, download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scons/files/scons-src/2.0.1/scons-local-2.0.1.zip
Unzip to C:\src\libjingle\scons-local\
set SCONS_DIR=C:\src\libjingle\scons-local\scons-local-2.0.1
* Third, install swtoolkit from http://code.google.com/p/swtoolkit/.
For example, on Windows download
http://code.google.com/p/swtoolkit/downloads/detail?name=swtoolkit.0.9.1.zip
Unzip to C:\src
Optionally add swtoolkit to path. Otherwise call hammer.bat directly.
set PATH_TO_SWTOOLKIT=c:\src\swtoolkit
set PATH=%PATH_TO_SWTOOLKIT%;%PATH%
2.2 libjingle
Libjingle needs to be downloaded and patched
* First, install Libjingle. Since this README lives within Libjingle,
this step is normally already done.
Libjingle home page is here http://code.google.com/p/libjingle/
For example, on Windows, download
http://libjingle.googlecode.com/files/libjingle-0.5.2.zip
unzip to C:\src\
* Second, Libjingle depends on two open-source projects, expat and srtp.
Download expat from http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/ to
talk/third_party/expat-2.0.1/. Download srtp at
http://libjingle.googlecode.com/files/srtp-cvs.zip to
talk/third_party/srtp. Note that srtp-1.4.4 does not work since it misses
the extensions used by Libjingle.
If you put expat or srtp in a different directory, you need to edit
talk/libjingle.scons correspondingly.
rename srtp-cvs to srtp
For example, on Windows, download expat
http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/files/expat/2.0.1/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz
Unzip to C:\src\libjingle-0.5.2\talk\third_party
Download srtp
http://libjingle.googlecode.com/files/srtp-cvs.zip
Unzip to C:\src\libjingle-0.5.2\talk\third_party
rename C:\src\libjingle-0.5.2\talk\third_party\srtp-cvs srtp
* Third, on Windows, copy config.h
copy talk\third_party\srtp\config.hw talk\third_party\srtp\crypto\include\config.h
2.2 Build Libjingle under Linux or OS X
* First, make sure the SCONS_DIR environment variable is set correctly.
* Second, run talk/third_party/expat-2.0.1/configure and
talk/third_party/srtp/configure.
* Third, go to the talk/ directory and run $path_to_swtoolkit/hammer.sh. Run
$path_to_swtoolkit/hammer.sh --help for information on how to build for
different modes.
2.3 Build Libjingle under Windows
* First, make sure the SCONS_DIR environment variable is set correctly and
Microsoft Visual Studio is installed.
dir %SCONS_DIR%
Should show a folder containing Scons\
* Second, go to the talk\ directory and run %PATH_TO_SWTOOLKIT%\hammer.bat.
To get help run:
%PATH_TO_SWTOOLKIT%\hammer.bat --help
different modes. You can run the last step under Visual Studio Command
Prompt if Visual Studio tools are not under the path environment variable.
Example to build call.exe
%PATH_TO_SWTOOLKIT%\hammer.bat
Example to build opt and dbg all programs
%PATH_TO_SWTOOLKIT%\hammer.bat --jobs=6 --verbose --mode=all all_programs
The built binaries are under talk/build/dbg/staging or talk/build/opt/staging,
depending on the build mode. When the build is complete, you can run the
examples, login or call. For the call sample, you can specify the input and
output RTP dump for voice and video. This package provides two samples of input
RTP dump: voice.rtpdump is a single channel, 16Khz voice encoded with G722, and
video.rtpdump is 320x240 video encoded with H264 AVC at 30 frames per second.
These provided samples will inter-operate with Google Talk Video. If you use
other input RTP dump, you may need to change the codecs in call_main.cc, lines
215 - 222.
Libjingle also builds two server tools, a relay server and a STUN server. The
relay server may be used to relay traffic when a direct peer-to-peer connection
could not be established. The STUN Server implements the STUN protocol for
Simple Traversal of UDP over NAT. See the Libjingle Developer Guide at
http://code.google.com/apis/talk/index.html for information about configuring a
client to use this relay server and this STUN server.
To use LinphoneMediaEngine, you need to perform the following additional steps:
* Download and install the "MediaStreamer" library on your
machine.
* Add the following lines into the libjingle.scons file.
In the "talk.Library(env, name = "libjingle",..." section, you need to add:
"HAVE_LINPHONE",
"HAVE_SPEEX",
"HAVE_ILBC",
to the "cppdefines = [".
In the "talk.App(env, name = "call",..." section, you need to add:
"mediastreamer",
to the "libs = [".
* Add the following line into the "srcs = [ ..." section of the
libjingle.scons file.
"session/phone/linphonemediaengine.cc",
