Debugging Live555 with VLC Messages window

[ryantheseer]

I'm trying to make a patch to the Live555 API in VLC, but I am currently unable to get debug messages to be forwarded to the VLC Message window. I am trying to set up debug messages inside the Live555 source code like this, for instance in live555/liveMedia/RTSPClient.cpp, I put a line like this:

Code: Select all

envir() << "debug message" << 12345 << "\n";

I know that I'm building my Live555 changes properly with the Make commands because I can introduce an "abort()" call in the Live555 source and it crashes VLC. Any ideas how to get the debug messages?

When I run VLC through a JNI ("VLCJ" project) in Java with Eclipse, I can see the Live555 messages that I'm missing from the Message window, but of course I don't get the Messages window. This might work in the meantime until someone can answer my question.
