Re: [Ekiga-list] Compiling Ekiga 3.2.5

Hi,
Once u have installed ptlib and then opal cant be found sounds a little absurd. 
But ptlib is installed already on your system if you followed the right steps mentioned for installing ptlib. 

To verify and let opal find ptlib, please do the following on your Fedora machine:

On the command line, type:
     cd /usr/bin
     pkg-config --list-all | grep ptlib

If ptlib is installed, the above command will list the ptlib from the pkg-config file. After that, type:

     export PKG_CONFIG_PATH= /usr/bin/pkg-config

Now try to install OPAL.

When ptlib gets installed, opal tries to look for it in /usr/local/bin by default. But the pkg-config file is in the /usr/bin directory. So we need to export the path to pkg-config and let opal search the pkg-config file and confirm that ptlib is installed.

I have tried these steps on fedora 9 system and was able to install ekiga and get it running.

PTLIB compiles without any apparent problem.  However, when I try to configure OPAL, I am told PTLIB cannot be found.  I get the same result in both Fedora 11 and Mandriva 2009.1.

I know this stuff is not rocket science, but to a non-coder Ekiga user it is frustrating.  Any step-by-step help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
