I can can confirm successful compilation and bugs. You can find my
Makefile and patches in

Did you try to set HAS_VFW_CAPTURE=1 in ptlib/configure.ac? I admit that
I have not dared to approach the video stuff under Windows
.

My mail  with d4 output was bounced, too long. The d4 was produced by
starting ekiga on WinXP which was configured for my account at ekiga.net
and thereafter shutting it down (crash). When comparing it to other d4
outputs (v3.2 Ubuntu Intrepid, v3.0.2 WinXP, v3.2 Linux Wine, see
http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~mrickma/ekiga/logs-040709.tar.gz ) the Windows
v3.2 outputs lack any reference to the stun server and contain a
conspicous line

That is my IP behind a NAT router.

When I look at the logs the v3.2 WinXP gives up first (after PWLib
Destroyed thread 0x9655cbc VideoPreviewManager) at a point from which
the well behaving v3.2 Ubuntu Intrepid version continues with "Deadlock
potential - avoiding evil bug!" apparently from liborbit2 (Google says
so, no idea).
