Build Instructions with GNU Build Systems
Supported Targets
The autoconf based GNU build system can be used to build the libraries/applications for the following targets:
Linux/uC-Linux (i386, Opteron, Itanium, MIPS, PowerPC, etc.),
MacOS X (PowerPC, Intel, Apple M),
FreeBSD and maybe other BSD’s (i386, Opteron, etc.),
RTEMS with cross compilation (ARM, powerpc),
etc.
Requirements
Tools and development libraries
In order to use PJSIP’s GNU build system, these typical GNU tools are needed:
GNU make (other make will not work),
GNU binutils for the target, and
GNU gcc for the target.
In addition, the following libraries are optional, but they will be used if they are present:
Video Support
The following components are needed for video:
SDL version 2.0
For format conversion and video manipulation, you can use one of the following:
For video codecs:
H263: get FFMPEG.
H264: choose one of the following:
VideoToolbox (for Mac and iOS only). Define this in your config_site.h:
#define PJMEDIA_HAS_VID_TOOLBOX_CODEC 1
VP8 and VP9, see VP8 and VP9 (libvpx)
Linux: Video4Linux2 (v4l2) development library.
Optional: Qt development SDK for building the vidgui. We tested with version 4.6 or later.
Note
Without this you can still enjoy video with pjsua console application
Tip
For more information about using the video, see Video User’s Guide
Host requirements
The build system is known to work on the following hosts:
Linux, many types of distributions.
MacOS X 10.2
FreeBSD (must use gmake instead of make)
./configure
Running ./configure.
Using Default Settings
Run “./configure” without any options to let the script detect the appropriate settings for the host:
$ cd pjproject
$ ./configure
Note
The default settings build the libraries in release mode, with default
CFLAGS set to “-O2”. To change the default CFLAGS,
we can use the usual ./configure CFLAGS='-g' construct.
Configure with Video Support
Add this to your config_site.h:
#define PJMEDIA_HAS_VIDEO 1
Video requirements will be detected by the configure script.
Pay attention to the following output (the sample below was taken on a Mac):
...
Using SDL prefix... /Users/pjsip/Desktop/opt
checking SDL availability..... 2.0.1
Using ffmpeg prefix... /Users/pjsip/Desktop/opt
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for python... python pkgconfig.py
checking ffmpeg packages... libavformat libavcodec libswscale libavutil
checking for v4l2_open in -lv4l2... no
checking OpenH264 availability... ok
checking for I420Scale in -lyuv... yes
...
The above output shows the SDL version detected, 2.0.1 in this case. It also found OpenH264, libyuv, and ffmpeg packages (libavformat, libavcodec, etc).
Note
For this particular build, alternative locations (prefixes) are specified
for both SDL and ffmpeg with --with-sdl and -with-ffmpeg options
respectively.
Note
Regarding ffmpeg libraries dependencies:
The pkg-config tool is used to detect the correct compilation settings and library dependency for the ffmpeg packages. The pkg-config is not installed by default on Mac, as the output above shows, hence we use the alternate pkgconfig.py script.
You need to have Python installed to run this script of course, and the configure script detects its availability automatically.
If Python is not available, you will need to supply the correct CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS manually prior to running configure so that it is able to detect
ffmpeg libraries.
For example, if ffmpeg was built with x264 and mp3 encoder support,
you will need to pass additional -lx264 -lmp3lame``flags when linking libavformat.
With manual checking in the configure script, the ``AC_CHECK_LIB(avformat)
would not be able to detect that it needs to add -lx264 -lmp3lame
as the dependency, hence you need to put this in the LDFLAGS prior to
running configure.

Configuring Debug Version and Other Customizations
The configure script accepts standard customization, which details can be obtained
by executing ./configure --help.
Below is an example of specifying CFLAGS in configure:
$ ./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -DNDEBUG -msoft-float -fno-builtin"
Configuring TLS Support
See SSL/TLS
Cross Compilation
General
Cross compilation should be supported, using the usual autoconf syntax:
$ ./configure --host=arm-elf-linux
Since cross-compilation is not tested as often as the “normal” build, please watch
for the ./configure output for incorrect settings (well ideally this should
be done for normal build too).
Please refer to Porting Guide for further information about porting PJ software.
Building for MacOS x86_64 on MacOS M1
Run configure script:
$ CFLAGS="-arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ./configure --host=x86_64-apple-darwin
Building for MacOS M1 on MacOS x86_64
Run configure script:
$ CFLAGS="-arch arm64" LDFLAGS="-arch arm64" ./configure --host=arm-apple-darwin
Running make
Once the configure script completes successfully, start the build process by invoking these commands:
$ cd pjproject
$ make dep
$ make
Note
gmake may need to be specified instead of make for some hosts to invoke GNU make instead of the native make.
Description of all make targets supported by the Makefile’s:
all |
The default (or first) target to build the libraries/binaries. |
dep, depend |
Build dependencies rule from the source files. |
clean |
Clean the object files for current target, but keep the output library/binary files intact. |
distclean, realclean |
Remove all generated files (object, libraries, binaries, and dependency files) for current target. |
Note
make can be invoked either in the top-level PJ directory or in build directory under each project to build only the particular project.
Build Customizations
Build features can be customized by specifying the options when running
./configure as described in Running Configure above.
In addition, additional CFLAGS and LDFLAGS options can be put in user.mak file
in PJ root directory (this file may need to be created if it doesn’t exist).
See an example in user.mak.sample file:
export CFLAGS += -msoft-float -fno-builtin
export LDFLAGS +=
Optional: Installing PJSIP
Run make install to install the header and library files to the target directory.
The default target directory can be customized by specifying --prefix=DIR
option to configure script.
$ make install
