I would suggest building it yourself (
http://www.readytechnology.co.uk/open/ipp-codecs/doc-svn6.txt).  It is not
that difficult and ensures that it "should" be compatible with your
machine.  Just a little work.

Either that or pay for the legal licensing of G729 and get support through
the appropriate channels.  Using the code for anything other than learning
purposes is illegal, not to mention that licensing is quite inexpensive.

Thanks,
