[Ekiga-devel-list] 1st working SVN build Ekiga on FreeBSD

[Matthias Apitz <guru Sisis de>]

Hello,

After a lot of debugging I have now a 1st version of Ekiga build from
SVN on FreeBSD 7.0R which works a bit, 'a bit means':

- it shows the video with V4L and plays sound with OSS
- it connects to 500 ekiga net and echo's my voice correctly

the problems are:

- 8x error messages of this text on boot of Ekiga:
  (ekiga:61309): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_get_bool: assertion `value->type == GCONF_VALUE_BOOL' failed
  I have no idea where they come from and what they mean

- a X11 caused message like:
  2008/03/26 16:43:12.127	  0:09.801	GMDisplayM...0x29bd8d00	X11	Unhandeled X Event MapNotify (19) received

- Ekiga sometimes starts with a complete grey window, no buttons on it;
  'sometimes' let me think in some uninitialized variables;

- I can't terminate a call to 500 ekiga net without killing the
  application; the hang-up button has no affect; mouse-over shows the
  dial tool-tip;
  will dig into this first;

Any comments/hints for the above problems? Thx

I've also already started to write some stuff in the Wiki:
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php?title=Compile_your_own_SVN_version_of_Ekiga_on_FreeBSD
comments/corrections are welcome;

	matthias
