[Ekiga-list] Creative Optia problems

[yannick]

Hi,

Fortunately, this has been fixed in CVS of pwlib :
2007-07-01 17:20  dsandras

	* src/: ptlib/common/tinyjpeg.cxx, ptclib/psockbun.cxx: Fixed
	  potential problems with MJPEG-based cameras thanks Matthias
	  Schneider <ma30002000 yahoo de>. Thanks a lot!

Be aware, at the moment opal is broken, compiling SVN version will get you in trouble...

Better wait 2.0.10, or a better opal, or apply yourself...

Regards,
Yannick
