Damien,

I'm not convinced this is the issue after finding this:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ekiga-list/2007-February/msg00125.html

Could it be perhaps that these PVideo functions are only available under 
linux? I am not using linux, I'm not interested in video, I just want to 
use VOIP.
The --disable-video flag in pwlib's configure script doesn't help. Its 
ekiga that is expecting these functions to be available?

How do we go disabling ekiga's dependency on these functions, so that 
people who arn't using linux can build the program without having to resort
to open heart surgery on the code? Perhaps you could integrate this into 
the configure script.

Not meaning to be rude, it would be nice if your program was a bit more 
BSD and Solaris friendly. BTW: The pwlib up on your page (1.10.10) wont 
even build under solaris without hacking up the makefiles. However 
http://www.voxgratia.org/releases/pwlib-v1_11_1-src.tar.gz builds and 
installs straight out of the box with no problems. Hopefully anyone else 
attempting to get ekiga 2.0.11 working on bsd/solaris will see this post 
of mine and it will spare them many hours of grief.

Alex.
