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

[Eugen Dedu <Eugen Dedu pu-pm univ-fcomte fr>]

You enter opal 3.6.6 directory (not ekiga!)

patch --dry-run -p1 <~/Download/opal-fix_build.patch

--dry-run does not do any modifications, it's just to see if there are
errors.  If no error, execute:

patch -p1 <~/Download/opal-fix_build.patch

Afterwards, make again, make install, and finally re-start ekiga.
