Hi, I maintain the debian packages of ptlib, opal, ekiga, you could probably use the same (or similar) build dependencies. Look at the *.diff.gz files from http://snapshots.ekiga.net/snapshots/debian/?C=S;O=A, the control patch hunk, the Build-Depends field (or just search for Build-Depends). -- Shawn Adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

Just a general note here: that's what you'll be going through if you are installing packages from source. Period. Sure maybe a nice overview about all dependencies would make it a _tad_ faster for you, but in the end you still have to go through the same process of installing / updating everything. Running a recent version of your distro (don't know how old exactly 10.2 is but I know there have been at least two releases after that), and preferably using the packaged versions of course alleviates all these issues - that is the point of having a distribution. Sure, ekiga 3.0 is probably not packaged for many distros yet, hopefully it won't take them too long to catch up. ~David ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
