That's not needed (see the GnomeMeeting FAQ).

That's not correct.

But you have to do something like this :
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

for both OPENH323 and PWLIB. --enable-plugins is also required for
PWLIB.


Then GnomeMeeting will compile cleanly, even if you remove the source
directories.
