Re: [Ekiga-devel-list] win32 build

Hi Matthias!

Some good news:

For the first time ever, I was able to produce an ekiga-setup-2.9.exe file!

That "Bus error" was a pretty strange and stupid one. VServers by default have an in-memory 16 MB /tmp partition. That's just too small. A simple umount /tmp will make /tmp a folder in the disk file system, doing away with that bottleneck.

After that, it worked. I am currently downloading the installer file onto my Windows machine for a smoke test. (Installing, starting, hoping to not see any crashes immediately.)

Just to remember what's still open:

1. Find a solution for automake detection.
2. Switch from pinned versions back to HEAD.
3. Deal with that safely ignoreable issues in OpenLDAP and ffmpeg. (They would break any automated nightly build.)
4. I still had to patch that Modern UI System.nsh file for that branding image error.

Well, let's test what we compiled first.

Regards,
Torsten

P.S.: On the subject of a common Linux / Windows (maybe also BSD, Solaris, MacSO, ... build): I haven't analyzed yet what's the conceptual difference between the Win32 and the "normal" build. But without any further investigation, shouldn't something like Gentoo Linux provide some template?
