Voice and Video GSoC Project

[Diego Costantini]

Almost there...

With latest revision and those libraries it configures/compiles with voice
and video support, but when I launch Pidgin I get:

/usr/local/bin/pidgin: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/bin/pidgin:
/undefined symbol: purple_media_manager_get

Are you sure you are actually using it? :D

It looks like you're using an older version than the head revision at
the moment. If you'd pull the latest revision from the monotone
database it would make it a little easier for you.

As far as the packages:
 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 == libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
 farsight2-0.10 == libgstfarsight0.10-dev

Ubuntu has libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev, but not
libgstfarsight0.10-dev. You'll have to download these from the Debian
repository. In order to compile you'll need:
 libgstfarsight0.10-0
<http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libgstfarsight0.10-0>
 libgstfarsight0.10-dev
<http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libgstfarsight0.10-dev>
and in order to run it you'll also need:
 gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight
<http://packages.debian.org/sid/gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight>
and these packages which are in the Ubuntu repository:
 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
 gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
