Answer 1

Alternative Way:
You can build Openh264 using visual studio in windows. Here are the steps..

• i) Download OpenH264 source code provided by cisco (that already you mentioned https://github.com/cisco/openh264).
• ii) Now you will find two visual studio compatible projects in directory /OpenH264/codec/build/win32/dec and /OpenH264/codec/build/win32/enc.
• iii) You will need to download NASM software from http://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.12.02/
• iv) Install NASM software on the directory C:\NASM or wherever you like.
• v) Then Add NASM executable path to all these visual studio projects.
• vi) Then You can either select static or dynamic library in general options.
• vi) If you are able to perform all these operations successfully, you will have 5 different .lib or .dll files named welsdcore, welsdecplus, welsecore, welsencplus, welsvp and those are usable in any visual studio projects.

Now if you want to get openh264 features, just add all these libraries to your project and enjoy. Hope it will help you.. :)
