Unfortunately not.  There are some not-so-useful ideas at
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/ekiga/tree/HACKING.

According to
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/HowTo_install_Ekiga_packages#F11, the
compilation should work well on F11.

I have not seen this error before.  PVideoFrameInfo is defined by ptlib.
 Maybe you have not installed ptlib's -dev package in F11 (you will need
opal's -dev too)?  Do you compile only ekiga, or ptlib and opal too?
