Hi Aaron, the red5.sh file will use the already compiled red5.jar that
sits at the top of your red5 directory. red5.jar does not come
pre-created/pre-compiled on the trunk version, but if
I remember well, I think it comes precompiled on the downloadable
0.6rc1, so should run right out of the box.
Hi Aaron,
Sorry for misleading you earlier. Michael told me that all you need to
do is drop your compiled application classes into the red5 webapps
directory and you'll then be up and running.
All you need to do is restart red5.
Basically that answers your question, red5 can run straight out of the
box without recompiling core red5 server code :-) just use the red5.sh
file
There are some nightly builds of the red5.jar file here:
http://www.red5tutorials.net/download/jar_dist/
So you don't always have to compile red5 to start red5 core server.
However, this builds might not always work, as they are in
development.
So probably just grab the latest, download to your red5 directory.
Rename to red5.jar, then run red5.sh straight out of the box with the
default red5 applications.
Now, here comes the problem with this. Whenever you create your own
red5 application, you have to compile ALL of red5 again. This means
you still have to recompile all of
core red5 server to be able to create your new red5 application.
However, the rc2 is set to correct all this with a new application
structure so that hopefully you should be able
to not only run red5 out of the box, but you should be able to create
your new red5 applications without having to recompile the core red5
server again.
That's my current understanding and hope that helps!
*Aaron, did you try directly executing the "red5.sh" file from a Linux
*command prompt? (The file is under the parent Red5 directory). Also, first
make sure the file has 'execute' permission for your user id.
I know that the Windows equivalent ("red5.bat") works perfectly right out
of the box.
