Re: [Ekiga-list] How can I get non-free video codecs. ekiga 3.2.7 ubuntu 10.10

Finally, because h263-1998 crashes when using ffmpeg last version, see bugzilla again (bug for H263); however, if you choose a repository for ffmpeg of about 1.5 years ago, it should work, see the same bug report. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606265 I forgot to say that h263 does not crash for me if I compile ffmpeg with some option, see the upstream bug specified in the bug above. I think this is the best option for you, instead of compiling an older ffmpeg. Hi, Compiling ffmpeg with some extra options sounds like an interesting track to work around the h263 crash problem.

[Ekiga-list] ship ekiga with static ffmpeg and x264 libs?
Hi, H263 and H263+ codecs have been broken in ekiga for quite a while (maybe a year?) due to API changes in ffmpeg and x264. I don't know if these codecs will work again with the upcoming 3.3. release, but they're really quite important for me. To avoid these kinds of problems in the future, wouldn't it feasible to ship the required ffmpeg and x264 version with ekiga and link in these libs statically? Or it could be a compile option to use the shipped ffmpeg version or link dynamically to what is installed on the system. Even if the packages would become a bit bigger, I wouldn't care at all, but at least you wouln't have to hold your breath after each ffmpeg update whether these codecs still work or not. regards Gerhard ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

Well it should work, unless his stdint.h is different than mine

or some other black magic happens which makes the define to vanish.
Anyway I didn't see him mentioning that he tried to add
-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS to CXXFLAGS and it still didn't work, unless
that was off the list. So I assume he's using vanilla 3.8.6 which of

for some reason, adding -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS to CXXFLAGS doesn't help. It
seems that something really undefs the

Argh! I missed the thread.
Are you using Kubuntu 9.04? It might be the new notify system they

I'm using openSuse 11.1 with the KDE 4.2.4 packages from the build service.
This seems to happen on some configurations. I suspect when using KDE
and probably using some compile options. Did you compile it yourself? Do
you have any record somewhere of those compile options?
I compiled it all myself, ekiga, opal and ptlib. Here's the build section from
my ekiga spec file:
%build
export CFLAGS=$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -fstack-protector
export CXXFLAGS=$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -fstack-protector
intltoolize --force
autoreconf --force --install
./configure \
--sysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir} \
--prefix=%{_prefix} \
--libdir=%{_prefix}/%_lib \
--mandir=%{_prefix}/share/man \
--disable-schemas-install \
--disable-scrollkeeper \
--enable-dbus \
--enable-kde \
--enable-kab
make %{?jobs:-j %jobs}
The result is the same if I leave --enable-kde and -kab away.
