Hi Ross, thanks for the follow-up.

Thanks for the overview, Ross. Unfortunately I have not found a solution. Regarding iOS, um, there actually was a config.iphoneos in the archive I downloaded. You might want to apply the "ar vs. libtool" patch there, too. Isn't it great when you forget on how many platforms your own software runs :). -- Thomas _______________________________________________ live-devel mailing list live-devel@lists.live555.com http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel
