How to compile Kopete 0.12.0 final

[Patkos Csaba]

Until yesterday I had kopete 0.12 beta, compiled by myself after a "long war" whith dependencies. Finaly I did it. Yesterday I downloaded Kopete 0.12 final release and ... it doesn't compile. Of course I checked and eventualy reinstalled some packeges required by Kopete 0.12. However, for example, I have the iLBC packeg installed, when I try to compile libjingle it finds it, BUT kopete configure does NOT find it. I even tryed to compile linphone, but it generates some strange errors in gtk-docbook package, and quits after 200 undefined variables - or something like this.

Kopete kompiles everithing but, when it reaches the linphone plugin it crashes with an error message

 

[..........] /linphonemediaengine.cc:152: undefined reference to `pcmu8000'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I tryed installing it with "make -i -k" but the compiled kopete executable crashes when I want to connect to my accounts. Also I find some strange things: ./configure --prefix .... (as described at kopete home page) does configure, BUT make does configure+make, AND "make install" does configure+make+install again ...

 

Please, if someone managed to compile kopete with libjingle support post a reply with a breef description of the compilation procedure (what to install before, how to configure and compile then kopete)

 

Thank you a lot.

I've made a small patch that allows Kopete 0.12.2 to compile with the version of libortp on Ubuntu Dapper (1.2.0). The compilation problem stems from that source requiring version 0.7 of libortp.

 

You can get it here: kopete-0.12.2-libortp1.2.0.patch

I think it requires (for some pretty odd reason) ortp 0.7.1, no newer and no older version!

Of course if you build kopete without jabber support, the above dependency is gone.

I'm using kopete 0.12.2 on Arch Linux, built against ortp 0.7.1 and it compiles just fine, without any issues or patches needed... but it won't for any newer version (latest ortp is 0.9.1, I think).
