h323plus_2008.sln ============== Files opalvxml.cxx, line 138 and codecs.cxx, line 379 ----------------------------------------------------- codecs.h is a DirectShow/COM internal archive, full of IDL macros, don't be referenced direct. Seens VS ambiguous 'codec.h' from DShow and 'codec.h' in h323plus_2008.sln

Solution #1: Full path reference codecs.h to {path to H323Plus}/include/codecs.h (?) Solution #2: add pragma alias for disambiguation, like: alias("ds_codecs.h", "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include\codecs.h")

File codecs.cxx, line 572 ------------------------- Preprocessor branch "#ifdef H323_VIDEO" but line 787 says: "#endif // NO_H323_VIDEO"

Solution: Correct preprocessor line 572 to "#ifndef NO_H323_VIDEO" (?)

VisualStudio Preprocessor Hell ------------------------------ For some weird reason (or at least strange for me), Visual Studio interprets "#define x" and "#define x 1" completly diferent from each to other for comparsions like "#ifdef x", "#if defined(x)" and "#if x". Because this some files sections are grayed out and don't have some clue if fragment is being compiled or not.

Plugins.sln ======== ffmpeg H.263 Video Codec need the PBooblean definition ------------------------------------------------------

Fast Solution: declare PBolean as BOOL

PTLib_2008.sln =========== vidinput_directx.h, line - -------------------------- There is no "PWLIB_STATIC_LOAD_PLUGIN(DirectShow, PVideoInputDevice);" at the end of file. Probably source of out solutions projects can't find DirectShow PPluginDriver.

Solution: add "PWLIB_STATIC_LOAD_PLUGIN(DirectShow, PVideoInputDevice);"

Hello everybody

I just managed get some time to back to H323Plus code.

Successfully compiled PTLib, H323Plus, Plugins, OpenMCU and SimplePlus near without modification, only one of plugins come with a PBollean type not found but easy fixed, I'll do the compilation again to confirm wich archive is and report back soon.

I'm using a full instalation of Visual Studio 2008 Pro SP1 (embeded Windows SDK 6.0A instaled)

For who having problems, put in the enviroment: PWLIB_CONFIGURE_EXCLUDE_DIRS,  with the paths:

• C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v5.0
• C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\smartdevices\sdk
• C:\Program Files\Windows mobile 5.0 SDK r2

This prevents pre-compilation step, Configure.exe, to search for extensions on wrong paths (Atention! if you are compiling for Windows Mobile remember to remove "C:\Program Files\Windows mobile 5.0 SDK r2" from exclusion search path)

But I figured a behaviour: VideoTest from PTLib can find and use the WebCam with the "DirectShow" and "*" key search string in getDriversDevices. But SimplePlus not. If you start a new Solution to mimic VideoTest you will get the same bahaviour. Because VideoTest is marked dependency on PTLib on the build tree something getting wrong on projects outside PTLib Solution.

I'll investigate, and try search for more clues. Just reporting to see if others having the same issue.
