Hi Michael,
Sorry for the confusion. I thought that ekiga cannot be compiled on
windows at all. Now I understand that it cannot be compiled on
windows-native, but it can be compiled on windows through mingw
environment, is that right? The wiki page then should be modified.
So we have now the Makefile which, through mingw:
- works on debian (well, with a few updates)
- does not work on fedora <-- couldn't it be modified so that it works
here too? I feel the modifications should be pretty simple
- does not work on windows <-- here you said the modifications are more
difficult
This is what I understand, but I can be wrong of course.
