Re: [Ekiga-list] ekiga 2.0.11 Cant find pwlib?

[alex <alex schlossadler net>]

Hi Damien,

I have made some further progress on getting it to build, with a lot of 
hackwork though.

I borrowed /usr/ports/multimedia/v4l_compat/files/videodev.h from a 
FreeBSD machine and copied it over to /usr/include/linux, and rebuilt 
pwlib. I no longer get the message that the library is missing, however, 
that my version of pwlib 1.11.1 doesnt meet the recommended 
requirements, my solution to this is very bad and dirty, but I had no 
choice, pwlib 1.10.10 refuses to build (who can I speak to regarding 
this problem with that version of pwlib?), I had to edit ptbuildopts.h 
and fake the version number to allow the configure script to proceed 
(and also having to symlink libpt_solaris_x86_r.so.1.10.10 to 
libpt_solaris_x86_r.so.1.11.1 to avoid linking issues).

I disabled avahi support - is this a bad idea? What will be missing from 
the program if I do this?

I have one final error that occurs in the build, perhaps you can suggest 
a possible cause:

What does this mean?
