If so, you could give us a great hand testing the CVS snapshots debs against DC ;) We currently can only ship DC drivers, but we cannot test them, so you'd be welcome to try =) > > I think I know that error, it was pretty easy to fix and I gotta dig the > > archives.. anyway I'd like to know why this is needed anyway =) > > See above. Gnomemeeting doesn't come with all the > supported features compiled in. well, only until the upcoming version.. i'll try to do some experimental packs (going into experimental instead of sid for now) with the upcoming GNOME2.5 release beta... but as far as this goes you can try with the CVS snaps from http://snapshots.seconix.com/debian/ As I don't really know how good the firewire support in 0.98.5 is working, only 3 comments so far: 1.) you'd need to also compile IEEE1394 into libpt-1.5.2 (GM alone will not be able to set IEEE1394 on go) 2.) it may be a problem with SID to compile 0.98.5 due to recent upgraded packages, i haven't tried for a while, but there was before the debian servers hack. 3.) some of those xdap.c code will give warnings anyway.. so don't expect everything to quiet on STDERR with 0.98.5 *gg* ... just as long as it's only a warning it shouldn't hurt though ;) -- Best regards, Kilian
