2 years ago It depends on what you are planing to do:
- If you simply want to use the library for your own project, then add the Maven dependency shown in the readme to your project.
- You want to extend the native library or want to play around with the demo, then you need to build the whole project.
If you click on the Visual Studio link in the readme, you get an instruction on all tools you need to install with/for Visual Studio.
It's actually a good point to provide the build WebRTC libraries, so you do not need to load and build it again and again. But it is a bad practice to distribute native libraries. It's an trust/security issue, since the provided library can contain malicious code.
Still, if you build the project once, you won't need to compile the WebRTC library again.

It is unclear from the Readme what is needed for the maven install. If I wish to build it on windows, do I need only visual studio build tools and it will work ? Cause currently I am getting a lot of errors, some indicating that the branch has not been downloaded. Is there anyway to get the binaries for the webrtc (windows) and save this 12GB download ?
