Re: [Ekiga-list] Error while opening video device

["J. Paul Bissonnette" <jpaulb eastlink ca>]

There is no finished package for Ubuntu yet. I down loaded the source 
files. I haven't compiled a program in so long, can't even remember how 
to do it.

In the ptlib-2.4.4 package
configure: error: must have pthreads
I have a package called pthreads installed

in the opal-3.4.4 package
this error occurs
configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables

In the ekiga package have dependence problem
checking for PTLIB... configure: error: Package requirements (ptlib >= 
2.4.4) were not met:


All the other dependency issues were cleared up by installing the 
required dev packaged

Kind of stopped until I can resolve these issues.

Is there a howto on compiling?
