Building webrtc native on Ubuntu

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am having a hard time building webrtc-native on ubuntu. The Build instructions for webrtc are wayward and poor. I am following https://webrtc.org/native-code/development/.

Figured that I need to install the depot tools and run fetch v8. Then I did gclient sync. Did apt-get install ninja. Now I am stuck at python webrtc/build/gyp_webrtc. I get the following error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "webrtc/build/gyp_webrtc", line 23, in import gyp_chromium ImportError: No module named gyp_chromium

I badly need help here. Also, it seems that the community doesn't care much about helping to build native apps using webrtc. The focus is on upstream/Web APIs.

Please check https://github.com/HefnySco/node-webrtc-native

I hade very hard time. I used build-webrtc with some tweaks all listed on the above link.

The linked project goes one step forward and build a node component after building the webrtc lib.
