only 1-2 video images/sec
- most of the known crashes have been fixed

Volker,

thanks for the instructions.


Volker et al...


I tried compiling this on Knoppix 6.0.1

In the end I could not convince Knoppix, apt-get and ekiga's configure
script to see eye-to-eye regarding dbus, and had to configure it with
        --disable-dbus
After that it compiled smoothly enough; the entire configure line was
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/man --disable-dbus --disable-gnome --disable-gconf --disable-avahi --disable-gdu --disable-eds --disable-xcap --disable-kde --disable-kab --disable-gstreamer --disable-static --build=i486-slackware-linux



Problem 1
---------
Unfortunately, it is unable to see any audio or video devices this
way.  Does it use dbus to figure out the a/v devices, or do the
assembled masses think my problem is unrelated to that?



I also compiled it on Slackware 12.2 (an infinitely simpler process
than for Knoppix, as it turns out, using slight mods of the SlackBuild
scripts on www.slackbuild.org).

Problem 2
---------
On Slackware ekiga refuses to see my ov511 web cam, although it is
happy with my Logitech web cam (a pwc-based web cam).  Has ekiga given
up on older web cams?  This web cam works happily with other video
applications on that system.



Problem 3
---------
Ignoring problems 1 and 2, with the Logitech web cam on the Slackware
system, I connected from the Slackware system to the Knoppix system with
        h323:192.168.1.10
Although the call goes through, the video does not show up on the
Knoppix system.  Instead, the gui on the Slackware system goes
berserk, quickly switching between the small moving logo and the
larger (320x240) image from my web cam.  Since they are different
sizes, the window keeps changing size.

If I connect with sip:user@... the Knoppix end sees a small
version of my video, rather than the 320x240.

In both cases it is using Speex and H261.  The Slackware version was
compiled with other codecs, the Knoppix version only has that video codec.


If I connect from Knoppix to Slackware, with sip it works the same as above.
With h323, there is no flashing as above, but the (small version) of
the video is shown at both ends.


Can anyone suggest any solutions to these problems?


Thanks.
                        Jim

The main error is here.  What is the error with dbus enabled?

I think dbus is mandatory for device discovery.  Could someone confirm?

Have you libv4l library installed?  If yes, please send the -d 4 output...

Here is the end of the output from configure:

------------------
checking for XV... yes
checking for DBUS... configure: error: Package requirements (dbus-1 >= 0.36 dbus-glib-1 >= 0.36) were not met:

No package 'dbus-1' found
No package 'dbus-glib-1' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DBUS_CFLAGS
and DBUS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
------------------

OK, I'll just try installing dubs-1:

------------------
sudo apt-get install dbus-1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
Package dbus-1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  dbus
E: Package dbus-1 has no installation candidate
------------------

It may well just be that I am not debian-compliant, but I don't know
what to install, and a (quick) web search did not help me on this one.


If someone can tell me how to make configure happy, I'd be even
happier.  Or tell me which packages to install...


I tried fooling configure by saying
env DBUS_LIB=" " DBUS_CFLAGS=" " ./configure ...
but some compile or link eventually crashed and burned.

I have libv4l-0.5.7 compiled and installed with the Slackware 12.2 slackbuild.

The output is a bit large to include here.  You can get it from
        http://cs.acadiau.ca/~jdiamond/ekiga-d4.out

As I recall, older versions of ekiga (or maybe gnomemeeting) got you
to select V4L or V4L2.  I don't see that choice any more.  The camera
that works required, as I recall, V4L2 whereas this one required V4L.
So maybe the code to deal with V4L vs. V4L2 has an issue.


Thanks.

According to http://slackfind.net/en/packages/search/?name=dbus, on
slackware the package is named simply dbus.

I'll check why ekiga configure shows dbus-1, not dbus...

ptlib and opal compile fine on SuSE 11.1 with gcc 4.3.3.

Ekiga is going very well (after disabling ldap) until:
Making all in help

I've seen this before and could not get around it.  Any fix?

The missing dbus (and devices) are on Knoppix 6.0.1.
Compiling it on Slackware was trivial.

Slackware doesn't show up on the problem parade until #2 :-)

probably if you disable documentation (disable-doc or something like
that, check in configure)

Try installing libdbus-1-3, libdbus-1-dev, libdbus-glib-1-2,
libdbus-glib-1-dev and see if that helps (the exact numbers may differ,
though, 'apt-cache search libdbus' should give information on the exact
names).

No, sorry, there is nothing that works.  I tried
--disable-schemas-install (a listed option); --disable-documentation;
--disable-doc; --disable-help; and --without-help

Chris,

thanks very much for those hints.  It turns out that by installing
those (actually, I think it said I didn't need libdbus-glib-1-2, it
was already there), I was able to get through the configure and compile.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't notice that I have a camera attached
to the system...

It may be the same problem, i.e. missing dev-packages. Perhaps
libv4l-dev is missing on your system. When configuring ptlib, make sure
it recognizes v4l2 in the output of ./configure. Afterwards, configure
and compile ekiga (and opal to be on the safe side) again. Generally, it
is always as good idea to check for missing things during the configure run.
Hope that helps.

Chris

Could you try http://markmail.org/message/xxrsax2lkrutlfbd and
subsequent answers in the list?  They tell to make a modification
related to pkg-config.

You also need to add --enable-v4l in ptlib to enable v4l, since by
default it is not activated (cf.
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compiling_Ekiga#PTLib_2).

It is not. It should work without DBUS too (like the WIN32 release).

Most probably the relevant ALSA and V4L2 plugins are not installed.
