[Ekiga-list] H.264 codec issue fixed?

["Paulo R. Panhoto" <paulo voicetechnology com br>]

Hello,

I built ptlib/opal/ekiga from scratch along with ffmpeg/x264 to enable
the extra codecs. The packages ptlib/opal/ekiga were downloaded from the
website and ffmpeg/x264 were downloaded from version control (latest).
Everything compiled fine and, when I tried to run Ekiga, I've got these
messages:

paulo panhoto-lnx:/usr/lib/opal-3.6.6/codecs/video> ekiga -d 5 2>&1 |

After some web search, I found this link:
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596006>, which relates to
the problem.

What I didn't understand is whether the website sources include the
patch created for this bug or if I should get opal from the VCS.

Thanks for any explanation/information.

Regards,

Paulo.
