Building janus-gateway on Fedora Server

[Amanuel Elhanan]

Hello

I am trying to build and install janus-gateway on Fedora Server 36. I followed the documentation to build from the source, I have installed the dependencies as specified in README.md, most of the dependencies are pre-installed on Fedora.

Finally, when I try to execute ./configure --prefix=/opt/janus I am getting the following error. 

> 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:

Package 'nice', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables JANUS_CFLAGS
and JANUS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

For example, my server does have glib which is pre-installed from the fedora repository.

> Package glib-1:1.2.10-64.fc36.x86_64 is already installed.

Can someone suggest to me things I might miss here? Thank you.

You need the -devel packages of dependencies installed. That's evident when you look at the yum (now dnf) examples we have in the README.

Thank you for replying, unfortunately I did installed -devel packages which didnt work out. For e.g. the error shows this glib-2.0 >= 2.34, and I did tried installing glib-devel for that but when I try to build again the same thing is showing up.

> Package glib-devel-1:1.2.10-64.fc36.x86_64 is already installed.

That's glib1, not glib2.

I am sorry that I didn't mention that, I have installed that too. I spend these 4 days trying my best to fulfill the dependencies needed. Currently, I just used docker even though it's the legacy one (0.x)

In your case configure is complaining about libnice, though, not glib.

I thought this is part of the error that says were not met, glib-2.0 >= 2.34.

[Amanuel Elhanan]

wow thank you so much now after I installed libnice-devel its working now without any error, I thought those messages in bracket were should be fixed first thats why I was sticking to glib.

Thank you again.

Is this the follow up to your question in github?

Here is the updated docker-compose file to which I was referring:

version: '2.1'
services:

  #
  # janus-gateway
  #
  janus-gateway:
    build: github.com/Charles92011/janus-gateway-docker
    command: ['/usr/local/bin/janus', '-F', '/usr/local/etc/janus']
    volumes:
      - '/etc/janus/jcfg:/usr/local/etc/janus'
      - '/var/log/docker:/var/log'
      - '/usr/local/share/janus/recordings/:/usr/local/share/janus/recordings/'
      - '/etc/letsencrypt/live/sub.domain.tld/fullchain.pem:/usr/local/etc/janus/fullchain.pem'
      - '/etc/letsencrypt/live/sub.domain.tld/privkey.pem:/usr/local/etc/janus/privkey.pem'
    restart: always
    network_mode: 'host'

Thank you so much for the help, Charles.

Currently building from the source worked for me so I am going to use that. But thank you so much.
