[Linphone-developers] Building a modified linphone for Windows XP

[Jos Huybrighs]

Hi,

 

I got the task to integrate a SIP user agent on an embedded Windows XP machine.

The out-of-the-box linphone package can't be used since there is no user interface on the machine itself (the UI is delivered by a webserver) and so I have to do some development and build a special version of linphone.

 

I have the impression that building a modified linphone is do-able by developing some kind of 'SIPCallController' component, which 'speaks' with a browser (through some eventing concept, e.g. COMET), and which interacts with linphone's core through the available API.

 

To do that, what would be the suggested development environment?

- I hoped to do this with Visual Studio, but the first attempts I made seem to indicate that this will not work (without serious modifications in various header files of linphone, mediastreamer, and oRTP).

- Can I instead use MinGW (with gcc, etc.) in a Windows Eclipse environment? A powerful debugging environment is important for me.

 

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Jos
