Library location and contact
----------------------------

Normally, you should be able to download the latest version of the library
from this url: [http://research.edm.uhasselt.be/jori/jrtplib](http://research.edm.uhasselt.be/jori/jrtplib)

Documentation can be found at [jrtplib.readthedocs.io](http://jrtplib.readthedocs.io)

Acknowledgment
--------------

I would like thank the people at the Expertise Centre for Digital Media
for giving me the opportunity to create this rewrite of the library.
Special thanks go to Wim Lamotte for getting me started on the RTP
journey many years ago.

Installation notes
------------------

* Use the [CMake](https://cmake.org/) build system to compile the library.
In case extra include directories or libraries are needed, you can use the
`ADDITIONAL_` CMake variables to specify these. They will be stored in both
the resulting JRTPLIB CMake configuration file and the pkg-config file.

* The library documentation can be generated using Doxygen. An on-line
version can be found at [http://jrtplib.readthedocs.io](http://jrtplib.readthedocs.io)

* For systems with low memory or for applications which will involve only
a few participants at a time:
You can set the `HASHSIZE` defines in `rtpsources.h`, `rtpudpv4transmitter.h`
and `rtpudpv6transmitter.h` to a lower value to avoid memory being wasted.
Note that the library will have to be recompiled.

* Used defines:

- `WIN32`: For compilation on an Win32 platform.

- `_WIN32_WCE`: Define needed for compilation on a WinCE platform

- `RTP_HAVE_SYS_FILIO`: Set if `<sys/filio.h>` exists.

- `RTP_HAVE_SYS_SOCKIO`: Set if `<sys/sockio.h>` exists.

- `RTP_BIG_ENDIAN`: If set, assume big-endian byte ordering.

- `RTP_SOCKLENTYPE_UINT`: Indicates that getsockname used an unsigned int
as its third parameter.

- `RTP_HAVE_SOCKADDR_LEN`: Indicates that struct sockaddr has an sa_len
field.

- `RTP_SUPPORT_IPV4MULTICAST`: Enables support for IPv4 multicasting.

- `RTP_SUPPORT_THREAD`: Enables support for JThread.

- `RTP_SUPPORT_SDESPRIV`: Enables support for RTCP SDES private items.

- `RTP_SUPPORT_PROBATION`: If set, a few consecutive RTP packets are
needed to validate a member.

- `RTP_SUPPORT_GETLOGINR`: If set, the library will use getlogin_r instead
of getlogin.

- `RTP_SUPPORT_IPV6`: If set, IPv6 support is enabled.

- `RTP_SUPPORT_IPV6MULTICAST`: If set, IPv6 multicasting support is enabled.

- `RTP_SUPPORT_SENDAPP`: If set, sending of RTCP app packets is enabled.

- `RTP_SUPPORT_MEMORYMANAGEMENT`: If set, the memory management system is
enabled.

- `RTP_SUPPORT_RTCPUNKNOWN`: If set, sending of unknown RTCP packets is
enabled.

- `RTPDEBUG`: Enables some memory tracking functions and some debug
routines.

Cross-compilation of JThread & JRTPLIB for Android
--------------------------------------------------

**Warning:** When cross-compiling, the configuration defaults to big-endian.
But since most Android systems are little-endian, you should probably change
this setting in the CMake configuration.

The approach I follow for cross-compiling these libraries for the Android
platform is sketched below. The following lines are stored in a file called
`toolchain.cmake` (for example):

set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Android)
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION 21) # API level
set(CMAKE_ANDROID_ARCH_ABI armeabi-v7a)
set(CMAKE_ANDROID_NDK /path/to/ndk-bundle/)
set(CMAKE_ANDROID_STL_TYPE gnustl_static)

set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PACKAGE ONLY)

When starting CMake, first for JThread and afterwards for JRTPLIB, I then manually
add the following entries:

CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE /path/to/toolchain.cmake
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /path/to/installation/directory
CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH /path/to/installation/directory

For example, I like to use the `ccmake` program, which would yield
the following command line:

ccmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/path/to/toolchain.cmake \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/installation/directory \
-DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH=/path/to/installation/directory \
/path/to/main/CMakeLists.txt

After configuring JThread this way, just build and install it. The same CMake
procedure for JRTPLIB should then automatically detect the correct JThread
(so the one that's installed in your cross-compilation installation directory),
after which you can again build and install the RTP library.
(For the original README file, see [README2.md](README2.md))

End of development
==================

I find that this is a difficult decision, and I can't really think of a way
to present all the thoughts that have convinced me that this is a step I
need to make. This library started as my first real open source project way
back in 1999, when I was still very much a student, and it was the first time
I actually shared any kind of code with the outside world. Needless to say,
it will always be linked to many good memories, and as such is hard to let
go.

Times change however, and I feel I haven't been able to give this project the
attention it deserves for quite some time now, even though it probably does
not really require that many interventions. As other things have come along
that captured my interest, and as some health issues have come along that
further captured some time, I think the time has come to make this difficult
decision.

So it is with mixed emotions, both sadness as well as a feeling of relief,
that I say goodbye to JRTPLIB.
