[Summarization]

1. The configuration of live555 has not included how to install the header files and libraries. Because they are large number inside, I ignore 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 FFMPEG Understanding(7. How to solve the issue of searching path?) , readers can add these directories into the environment’s variables: C_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH to be automatically searched by GCC.

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