Toolchain for TeamTalkLib

3rd party libraries for TeamTalk5 are Git submodules in build folder.

Throughout this document $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT is the root folder of the toolchain Git repository. Typically the toolchain Git repository is initialized as a submodule of Git repository TeamTalk5.

To initialize the submodules in toolchain Git repository go to $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/build and type make prepare.

Note that submodule qt5 is not initialized because it is very big and only needed on Windows. To initialize a single submodule type git submodule update --init ACE to e.g. initialize ACE framework.

Also note that WebRTC is not initialized because it comes with it's own repository and tools. Quite a few manual steps are needed to setup and build WebRTC.

When building TeamTalk's 3rd party libraries they must be built in the following order:

1. openssl (Required by macOS, Windows, iOS and Android)
2. MPC (Required by all platforms)
3. ACE (Required by all platforms)
4. gas-preprocessor (Required by iOS)
5. ffmpeg (Required by Linux, macOS, Android)
6. libvpx (Required by all platforms)
7. ogg (Required by Linux, macOS, Windows, Android)
8. opus (Required by all platforms)
9. opus-tools (Required by Linux, macOS, Windows, Android)
10. portaudio (Required by Linux, macOS, Windows)
11. speex (Required by all platforms)
12. speexdsp (Required by all platforms)
13. tinyxml (Required by Linux, macOS, Windows)
14. zlib (Required by Windows)
15. WebRTC (Required by Linux, macOS, Windows, Android)
16. qt5 (Required by Windows)

Building for Android

Dependencies for Building Android Libraries

For Ubuntu 18.04 download Android NDK r21, android-ndk-r21-linux-x86_64.zip, and unpack it in $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT.

On Ubuntu 18.04 install the following tools:

• For OpenSSL install dependencies

  • sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
  • sudo apt-get install libtinfo5

• For Speex, SpeexDSP, OPUS and OPUS tools install dependencies

  • sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool

Build 3rd Party Libraries for Android

First source toolchain.sh in $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT. Select Android architecture (armeabi-v7a, arm64, x86 or x86_64) and the shell-script will create a toolchain for the archtecture if it doesn't exist already.

Start a new shell and source toolchain.sh for every Android architecture.

Now change to $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/build.

For Android armeabi-v7a architecture type:

make android-armeabi-v7a

make android-arm64

For Android x86 architecture (useful for simulators) type:

make android-x86

For Android x86_64 architecture (useful for simulators) type:

make android-x64

When building a new architecture make sure to run make clean to delete all intermediate files and configurations.

• Required by libvpx

Install CMake from https://cmake.org and place cmake.exe in %PATH%

• Required by PortAudio and OPUS

Install cygwin with make and git packages.

Build 3rd Party Libraries for Windows

Building on Windows is quite different from the other supported platforms. Basically there no make install-type installation on Windows, so headers and libraries are located in the original source build directories.

Start a cygwin shell and source toolchain.sh in $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT. Choose either Win32 or Win64 as architecture.

Now change to $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/build.

Run the following command make command make win.

Copy yasm.exe for x86 to $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/build/libvpx/build_win32 and yasm.exe for x64 to $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/build/libvpx/build_win64.

Now start either a Visual Studio 2019 command prompt, either "x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" for Win32 or "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" for x64 depending on the architecture chosen in the cygwin shell.

In the Visual Studio 2019 command prompt change to same directory as $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/build and run build_win.bat. Follow the instructions on what to build. 'Default' build process is recommended.

Build WebRTC for Windows

Start a Visual Studio 2019 command prompt, either "x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" or "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" depending on the architecture to build for. In the command prompt change to $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/build/webrtc.

Run build_win.bat and follow the instructions.

Building for iOS

Dependencies for Building iOS Libraries

Download Xcode 12.3 from Apple and place it in $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT. Change default Xcode to Xcode 12.3: xcode-select -s $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Build 3rd Party Libraries for iOS

Start a new shell and source toolchain.sh for every iOS architecture, i.e. armv7, arm64, i386 or x86_64.

Now change to $TOOLCHAIN_ROOT/build.

For iOS armv7 architecture type:

make ios-armv7

For iOS arm64 architecture type:

make ios-arm64

For iOS i386 architecture (useful for simulators) type:

make ios-i386

For iOS x86_64 architecture (useful for simulators) type:

make ios-x64

When building a new architecture make sure to run make clean to delete all intermediate files and configurations.
