 Hi,

 > ​https://github.com/js-platform/node-webrtc example of linking the
 webrtc library to other projects.

 I've ported my serverless-webrtc app (chat after manual exchange of offer
 and answer) to this node-webrtc library now, so you can share a text or
 binary datachannel between Node<->Node, Node<->Chrome, or Node<->Firefox.
 Here's a blog post with details and instructions:

 http://blog.printf.net/articles/2014/07/01/serverless-webrtc-continued/

 Since node-webrtc wraps the C++ WebRTC Native API, it ''should'' be
 straightforward to go from the node version to a raw C++ app, since it's
 just removing the JS abstractions that node-webrtc introduced.  But the
 Native API is pretty sparsely documented and the sample code in the
 package doesn't actually include the SDP offer/answer exchange, so it
 might be tough.
