EMIPLIB README
(0.11.0)
- INTRODUCTION
The name EMIPLIB means 'EDM Media over IP library'. This library was developed at the Expertise Centre for Digital Media (EDM) (http://www.edm.uhasselt.be), a research institute of the Hasselt University (http://www.uhasselt.be). As the name suggests the goal of the library is to make it easier to stream several kinds of media, including (but not limited to) audio and video. For more detailed information about the library, please refer to the library documentation.
2. LICENSE
The license that applies to the library is the LGPL. However, it is possible to specify that you wish to use GPL licensed components as well, which then causes the GPL to apply to the entire library. The license texts of these two licenses can be found in the files LICENSE.LGPL and LICENSE.GPL of the source code archive.
Note that when creating an application, you have to take the licenses of other libraries into account too. For example, if your application uses the Qt component and you accepted the GPL license for the Qt library, linking with the Qt library requires your application to be GPL too. Similarly, if your version of libavcodec was compiled as a GPL library, using the libavcodec component of emiplib will require your application to be GPL too, since you'll need to link against your GPL version of libavcodec.
3. INSTALLATION
The library depends on the JThread and JRTPLIB libraries, which can be
found at the following sites:
http://research.edm.uhasselt.be/jori/jthread/jthread.html
http://research.edm.uhasselt.be/jori/jrtplib/jrtplib.html
3.1 Unix-like platforms
Use the configure script and make to build the library. Run the configure script with option '--help' to see which options can be specified.
3.2 Win32/WinCE
Project files for MS Visual Studio 8 are included in the library archive. Take a look at the file 'mipconfig_win.h' to enable or disable components. You may have to tune the project settings to make sure the right locations of other include files are set.
If you want to compile the Qt component, you'll need to generate the file mipqtoutput.moc manually. To do this, go to the subdirectory src/components/output and run the command moc -o mipqtoutput.moc mipqtoutput.cpp
4. CONTACT
The library home page can be found at the following location: http://research.edm.uhasselt.be/emiplib/
There is a mailing list available for EMIPLIB. To subscribe to it, just send an e-mail with the text subscribe emiplib as the message body (not the subject!) to majordomo@edm.uhasselt.be and you'll receive additional instructions.
If you don't like to post your question to the mailing list, you can also send a more private mail to emiplibinfo@edm.uhasselt.be.
