Hi, I am a trainee. They want me to port ekiga to osx. I have about 2 months to do this. Could u people point me at the right direction? I am reading a pdf about porting unix to osx, but it is still kinda abstract how to start on this project. I don't know anything about MacOSX but there is a port of gtk [1] to OSX already, I believe PTLIB and OPAL is (or at least use to be) supported on OSX but there were issues with at least video support from memory but as the latest release of ekiga has at least beta support for audio/video input/output via gstreamer and thanks to songbird and a couple of other projects gstreamer is fully supported on OSX it should be possible.

Well, first you should open your own mail-thread (lookup mail thread etiquette if you don't see what I mean). And then, I guess trying compile ptlib, then opal, then ekiga is a good start.

Fine. But as I said, You get more efficient help here If You write some analysis+design spec together, Trainee. The effort (under)estimation has Your mentor already done for You ;) Don't hesitate to ask for more. y tom Original-Nachricht Betreff: RE: [Ekiga-devel-list] port ekiga to osx Datum: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:16:53 +0100 Von: Hannes De Backer hanne...@hotmail.com An: thomas.scho...@gmail.com I'm sorry They is my mentor at aserver: http://confluence.aserver.com/display/www/Home?co= We won't take disadvantage of the software, if that is you think.

Speculation, he said port, not cross-build, since They have him hiding behind M$ hotmail their management behaviour implies to me they want to convert Ekiga to OSX GUI+A/V-APIs and so I doubt They will contribute to us with any patches nor with a compatible license, will They?

I say this not to discourage you; this will take more than 2 months and even if you could do it in 2 months which would be impressive you'd need some serious infrastructure and help. Even if you just worry about doing everything through gtk and gstreamer. There are many things that would possibly need to be implemented so that everything works properly on the osx stack; of course I need this so i'm willing to help if you are seriously going to roll up your sleeves. There are going to be issues with webcams and possibly the quicktime layer and all of that stuff would need to be rewritten from scratch. On a sidenote, the XMeeting project has already all we need, so we could reuse their video stuff. I think that except video, the rest should work. PTLIB already has native support for Mac Audio (or whatever it is named). -- _ Damien Sandras (o- //\Ekiga Softphone : http://www.ekiga.org/ v_/_ Be IP : http://www.beip.be/ FOSDEM : http://www.fosdem.org/ SIP Phone : sip:dsand...@ekiga.net ___ Ekiga-devel-list mailing list Ekiga-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-devel-list
