I am trying to build Native WebRTC on Pi2 using the following commands

sudo apt-get install git
sudo git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git /opt/depot_tools

echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/opt/depot_tools" | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/depot_tools.sh
source /etc/profile

mkdir webrtc
cd webrtc
GYP_DEFINES="clang=0" fetch --no-history webrtc

This fails ending with :

________ running '/usr/bin/python src/tools/clang/scripts/update.py --if-needed' in '/home/pi/webrtc/src/chromium'
Error: Command /usr/bin/python src/tools/clang/scripts/update.py --if-needed returned non-zero exit status 1 in /home/pi/webrtc/src/chromium

I tried with many revision, with one gclient revinfo -a says:

src: https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/webrtc.git@bd67f66ebd1ee5a4605ca14b230ec5ee8bf6407e

As uv4l-webrtc use it, it should be possible to build it, but how ?

Native WebRTC use an old sysroot debian_wheezy_arm_sysroot.tgz that is linked to gcc-4.6 and some tools (like chromium-gn) seems not available for arm platform, so I changed my mind and try to cross-compile it.

It is possible to cross-compile on an Ubuntu 14.10 x86_64 system using the following steps :

  1. Install toolchain :

    sudo apt-get install git
sudo git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git /opt/depot_tools
echo "export PATH=/opt/depot_tools:\$PATH" | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/depot_tools.sh
sudo git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools.git /opt/rpi_tools
echo "export PATH=/opt/rpi_tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin:\$PATH" | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/rpi_tools.sh
source /etc/profile

  2. get sources:

    export GYP_DEFINES="target_arch=arm"
fetch --no-history webrtc

This step takes quite long time and it could be needed to run gclient sync if fetch fails.

  1. build :

    pushd src
gn gen arm/out/Release --args='is_debug=false rtc_include_tests=false is_clang=false target_cpu="arm" treat_warnings_as_errors=false rtc_enable_protobuf=false'
ninja -C arm/out/Release
popd

Google WebRTC is not officially supported on ARM Linux (!= Android). I think you will have to patch the code in any case. I tried once, but I gave up.
