They are supposed to work everywhere. Specific implementation is done in
plugins, but those functions are generic.

No, Ekiga is not expecting them, and if I'm not wrong, the configure
script fails before trying to compile ekiga, just when trying to compile
a sample program (which does not implement video).

So your libraries are not correctly compiled/installed.

Sure I could. But Ekiga builds on other platforms.

Sun is providing an OpenSolaris build for each release.
Nobody is maintaining the BSD version anymore.

I don't want to be rude either, but Ekiga is Open Source and I am its
maintainer. That means everybody can help maintaining a version for each
OS. That does not mean I am forced doing it. I simply do not have enough
spare time for that...
