Unable to install Janus completely on ubuntu 20.04

[Gaurav Rozatkar]

Hello All,

I am unable to install janus completely so I have setup janus service on my server and it is running also some of the plugins demoed on janus-gateway are working however it seems that I am unable to convert my recordings from MJR to webm since few libraries are not installed.

I am getting this error whenever i run 

./configure --prefix=/opt/janus --enable-post-processing

on janus-gateway

configure: error: Package requirements ("glib-2.0 >= 2.34

                    gio-2.0 >= 2.34

                    libconfig

                    nice

                    jansson >= 2.5

                    libssl >= 1.0.1

                    libcrypto

                    zlib") were not met:

No package 'nice' found

I have installed them from their official sites/pages but have no luck in configuring still

Please help.

Since the build for libnice has been changed we will need to install the builders first:

pip3 install meson ninja

then we proceed with libnice itself:

git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libnice/libnice
cd libnice
meson --prefix=/usr build && ninja -C build && sudo ninja -C build install

Thanks @Andrei,

I was able to get libnice installed and installed other dependencies also...

after running config and Make 

Now I am getting this error

If you add the --enable-post-processing flag to the configure script you will also need to install some extra packages with:

root@test-janus:~/janus-build/janus-gateway# apt-get install libavutil56 libavcodec58 libavformat58 libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev -y

then

root@test-janus:~/janus-build/janus-gateway# ./configure --prefix=/opt/janus --enable-post-processing ; make; make install

Thanks a lot Brother, It's working now.
