Overview

The reSIProcate repository contains the following C++ libraries and applications:

• resip library: comprehensive (RFC3261) SIP stack
• dum (Dialog Usage Manager) library: high level SIP library for creating SIP user agents (no media stack)
• recon library: high level SIP UA library with media stack integration
• rePro application: SIP Proxy server
• reTurn application: STUN/TURN server
• MOHParkServer appplication: a SIP based Music-on-hold server using recon
• reConServer application: a SIP based B2BUA server with media using recon
• reTurn library: STUN/TURN client library
• tfm library: a SIP based SIP framework

Please see the following wiki for more information: www.resiprocate.org

Note: The minimum required C++ version is currently C++11.

CMake Instructions

Building on *nix Systems

To create an in-tree build: Navigate to git root folder where top level CMakeLists.txt file is

$ cmake .
$ make

To create an out of tree build:

$ mkdir cmake_build # Or any other name
$ cd cmake_build
$ cmake ..
$ make

Once this is built, you can run the unit tests with:

$ ctest

or, for verbose output:

$ ctest -V

If you want to start fresh either delete the out of tree build directory or delete the CMakeCache.txt file.

Tips

• Some linux packages can be hard to track down. If you don't need the features that enabling these packages provides you can disable them in the build. One such package is QPID Proton.

$ cmake -DBUILD_QPID_PROTON=OFF .

The TFM test framework requires Netxx. The old libnetxx-dev package is no longer available on modern distributions, so by default Netxx is built from the copy in the contrib folder (USE_CONTRIB_NETXX=ON). If you have a system copy of Netxx that you would rather use, disable this and it will be located via find_package:

$ cmake -DUSE_CONTRIB_NETXX=OFF .

Alternatively, you can disable the TFM test framework entirely to avoid needing Netxx at all:

$ cmake -DBUILD_TFM=OFF .

Building on Windows Systems

Using Visual Studio GUI

Navigate to git root folder where top level CMakeLists.txt file is.

> cmake .

Or to build recon with sipXtapi media support you need to do the following:

> cmake . -DUSE_SIPXTAPI=ON

Or if you plan on using VS GUI you might want to enable the following to get the full sipXtapi projects into the resip solution file:

> cmake . -DUSE_SIPXTAPI=ON -DSIPXTAPI_PROJS_IN_VS_GUI=ON

• Open resiprocate.sln (from _build folder) in visual studio: Build -> Build Solution
• Note: If you used -DSIPXTAPI_PROJS_IN_VS_GUI=ON then you must build once before the sipXtapi projects are fetched from GitHub. After this reload the resiprocate.sln and build again. This is only needed after initial setting up the build.
• If you want to run the unit tests, then right click on the RUN_TESTS project and Build it.

Using CMake from command line

Navigate to git root folder where top level CMakeLists.txt file is.

> cmake . -B _build

OR to build recon with sipXtapi media support you need to do the following:

> cmake . -B _build -DUSE_SIPXTAPI=ON

To build navigate to git root folder where top level CMakeLists.txt file is.

> cmake --build _build --config Debug --parallel

For unit tests:

> cd _build
> ctest --build-config Debug --output-on-failure

Using Ninja via Visual Studio GUI

• Open the resiprocate folder by using Visual Studio Open Folder feature
• Use CMake GUI for changing CMake build settings and options: Project->CMake Settings for resiprocate
• Build -> Build All

Configuration Flags

CMake "cached" variables are used to specify options such as whether c-ares should be used or not. You can get the list with:

$ cmake -LH

You can set them on the command line like:

$ cmake -DWITH_C_ARES=true .

Future Considerations

Installation Packages

CMake supports rpm/deb?/NSIS to build installable packages using CPack. If this built-in support can not be used we could always specify internal build targets that will run external commands to package the appropriate bundle depending on the platform.
