Library Dependencies

NOTE (for Ubuntu users):

  • For Ubuntu, use synaptic to find/install packages in systems with a graphic inerface.
  • For Ubuntu terminals, use "apt-cache search [text]" to find packages and "apt-get install [package]" to install the found package. Normally you will need the '-dev' version for all dependent libraries.

whisperLib

Needed:

  • zlib
  • pthreads
  • libaio (component of librt)
  • icu - needed by a modified version of google-url included in the distribution

Highly recommended:

  • libbfd - for stack-trace debugging
  • google-perf-tools - for high performance allocs and some profiling/debugging utilities.

whisperStreamLib

  • whisperLib (see above :)
  • faad
  • mysql++

whisperCast

  • whisperLib
  • whisperStreamLib

whisperMediaLib

Here are a lot of libraries used by the included version of gstreamer.

  • whisperLib
  • whisperStreamLib
  • fftw3
  • gstreamer (a slightly modified version - distributed with the library)

gstreamer dependencies (you need the devel libraries):

  • gtk
  • x11 libraries
  • openssl
  • opengl (mesa)
  • libxml2
  • libbzip2
  • libjpeg
  • libpng
  • lib/gnome-vfs-2.0
  • libmpeg2
  • libogg
  • libraw1394
  • libavc1394
  • libid3tag
  • libiec61883
  • libdv
  • libtheora
  • libflac
  • libspeex
  • libdts
  • x264
  • lib neon
  • liboil

Please note that on Ubuntu 8.04, the mysql++ package is obsolete (so you still need to build and install your own from http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/).

A possible incomplete list we are using on Ubuntu 8.10 (precompiled binary packages).
