[Summarization]

1. The configuration of live555 has not included how toinstall the header files and libraries. Because they are large number inside, Iignore this step.

2. If readers want to use these libraries, the ‘-I’ and ‘-L’will be used to tell GCC where to find them. As mentioned in the FFMPEGUnderstanding(7. How to solve the issue of searching path?), readers canadd these directories into the environment’s variables: C_INCLUDE_PATH andLIBRARY_PATH to be automatically searched by GCC.

3. I think that live555 will add install command in thefuture. Let’s wait for it:- ).
