[GnomeMeeting-devel-list] how a newbie got gm cvs up - almost

[sean <seandarcy2 gmail com>]

For anyone who tries to do this:

I have Fedora 5, test 1, amd64.

1.  The rpms at 
http://www.linuxsolutions.fi/~johnny/fedora_core_4/src/
are great.

2. I didn't use the binary i386 rpms, since I wanted x86-64 
ones.

3. build and install libdc1394 first. I couldn't get it to 
build until I changed CLK_TCK in grab_partial_image.c to
CLOCKS_PER_SEC.

4. Build and install pwlib next. opal depends on it. The 
pwlib spec file just requires pwlib >= 1.8.3. Not so. You'll 
need a newer one. Johnny Strom has the latest from cvs. I 
used that.

5. Now build and install opal. It's obvious to others, but I 
only figured it out from trolling the list, opal = new 
version of openh323. I don't know if both can co-exist, but 
I removed openh323-1.15.

Now I have gnomemeeting-snapshot running. All seems OK, but 
the PC-to-phone dialog is broken.

I can bring up the dialog Tools->PC-To-Phone Account

I get PC-To-Phone Settings.  I click on the "Get a 
GnomeMeeting PC-To-Phone account"

Nada. Nothing.  Am I supposed to get an email at my 
Preferences address? Is a web page supposed to open up? Is 
there some url I should follow?

Also, Edit->Preferences->Codecs-> Audio Codecs shows 
nothing. Do I need to install something? Did I miscompile?

You all should be congratulated on a great program.
