[Ekiga-devel-list] Compiling current svn version on Debian lenny

["Torsten Schlabach" <TSchlabach gmx net>]

Dear list!

I am currently trying to build the current SVN version of Ekiga on a Debian lenny (testing) system. The system is freshly installed, so it's today's package versions.

My strategy is to use packages where suitable. This worked up to the point where PWLib is needed. I was only able to find a very outdated version even in lenny and sid (1.x versus a recommended 2.1.xx).

So I downloaded PWLib here:

http://www.voxgratia.org/downloads.html

and did

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-plugins --disable-oss --enable-v4l2 && make && make install

as explained here:

http://www.ekiga.org/index.php?rub=3&pos=0&faqpage=x114.html#AEN132

That worked. Just the built and installed version isn't recognized by Ekiga:

...
checking for scrollkeeper-config... /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-config
checking for PWLib includes in /usr/include/...
checking for read in -lpt... no

Any ideas?

Are there any more detailed build instructions recorded anywhere except the five lines in section 4.2 of the doc. They do not exactly cover it ... I would be happy to share my notes, but I did not find any Wiki or any other place where I could put it.

Regards,
Torsten
