Re: [recon-devel] Windows Release Build of Recon Fails to Find/Load Codecs

[Scott Godin <sgodin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Turns out it was a pretty silly error on my part - the code to set the codec path is embedded in an assert statement - so it was getting completely disabled when compiling in Release mode.  I've commit a fix.  Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks David - I'm glad you found a work around - I'll try and reproduce this issue with Release builds and see what I can find.

Scott,

I played around with this setting and both settings work for the Debug
build but neither or any variations I can think of works for the
Release build.
Because it is a Release build there is very little debug info,
although I could possibly turn it on.
The only way I got the Release build working was to set the
preprocessor setting for sipXmediaLib to:

DEFAULT_CODECS_PATH=.

I then put the codecs in the same directory as the executable for
command line execution.
I spent a lot of time looking at this and my solution is adequate for me.
