Indeed, moreover, nobody will escape a full recompilation of pwlib/openh323/gnomemeeting if they want to include H.263, just because no Linux distribution will ship with the H.263-enabled code. So that wouldn't be a big benefit. Finally, we are now moving to OPAL and that code doesn't exist for OPAL yet. -- _ Damien Sandras (o- //\ GnomeMeeting: http://www.gnomemeeting.org/ v_/_ FOSDEM 2006 : http://www.fosdem.org SIP Phone : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ GnomeMeeting-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnomemeeting-list
