I'm trying to get Gnomemeeting working with my firewire DV camcorder. I'm running FC4 on x86-64.
Here are my problems: 0. My camcorder works great with dvgrab, so I know that there is no fundamental OS problem. But gnomemeeting doesn't recognize the device under the AVC plugin. 1. After some websearching, I discover the 'secret' DC plugin. This is not included in the pwlib RPMs on the gnomemeeting website. Nor is any supplemental plugin available (for Fedora, at least) in RPM form. I don't know for sure if this is what I need to get the camera working, but I can't get hold of it to find out! 2. My only course of action is to download the pwlib source, and to set about compiling it myself. The next problem I encounter is that the source is not ISO C++, and g++ 4.0 refuses to compile it. 3. Next I install the compat-g++32 and compat-gcc32 Fedora packages, so that I can try to compile under g++ version 3.2. Though it ought to be easy, compilation turns out to be a *major* headache. Finally, when all the parts compile, gnomemeeting terminates with a segmentation fault. 4. Having tried manual compilation (the old-fashioned way), it occurs to me that I'm too old-school, and there may be a simpler approach. So I download the source RPMs, and attempt to 'rpmbuild' these. To get rpmbuild to use g++32, I prefix the command line with CXX=g++32. e.g.: CC=gcc32 CXX=g++32 rpmbuild --rebuild pwlib-1.8.4-1.src.rpm But the configure script bombs out with the error: checking for x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu-g++... g++32 checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. I'm tearing my hair out. Can anyone help? For any stage? Thanks so much, -- Dominick -- Dom Layfield _______________________________________________ GnomeMeeting-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnomemeeting-list
