Hi there,
I've used the Fedora 10 mingw32 packages to build Ekiga for Windows on
my x86_64 box. It installs and works just like it should on a Windows XP
VM. Awesome work fellas! Now I can dump my VM mingw setup.
I had to grab the nsis package from the unofficial repo, but otherwise
it compiled properly. I had to make a few changes to the Ekiga sources,
but that can be read on the ekiga-devel-list.

Were there any extra libraries or development tools that you had to
port, or does Ekiga just use the libraries that we already have?

GTK, ogg, theora, speex, ffmpeg, and regex were extra dependencies that
were required. It'd be nice if they were in Fedora, too. Well, all
except ffmpeg I suppose.
I see you have a GTK 2.15.x package in the unofficial repo, but I'd
rather be building against the same version of GTK with respect to the
Fedora version I am running. Fedora 10 is using 2.14.7 and I'd like to
use that, which I did in the Ekiga build.

OK ... Nothing can happen to get these into Fedora unless we have
workable patches. Easiest of all for us is if you submit Fedora
Review Requests with working source RPMs. The process is described
here:

We generally aim to keep the versions consistent with the native
Fedora versions. Although we failed in the case of mingw32-gtk2/gtk2.

I didn't have to patch those packages with the exception of ffmpeg. ogg,
theora, and speex should be drop-in packages. I've posted the ptlib
patches to the ekiga-devel-list. Perhaps they will be included upstream,
but it is too early to tell.
I didn't build RPMs for those package, if that was what you thought. If
I find some extra time I could make RPMs for them, but I'm not
guaranteeing anything.

New subject: Keeping packages in sync
In response to this message. I also noticed that:
mingw32-glib2.noarch 2.19.5-2.1.fc10
installed
mingw32-gtk2.noarch 2.15.0-3.fc10
installed
mingw32-atk.noarch 1.25.2-5.fc10
installed
Is out of sync with the Fedora 10 packages:
glib2-2.18.4-1.fc10.i386
gtk2-2.14.7-1.fc10.i386
atk-1.24.0-1.fc10.i386
It would be best if the packages was the same version. Then devel
packages can be done in rawhide.
Is there anyway to downgrade these packages, in the repo ?

No there isn't, at least not without using an Epoch, which would tie
us to using an Epoch forever. I won't do this unless there is some
actual reason why we need to keep those particular packages in synch.
"It would be nice" does not count.
In future we will make more effort to keep packages in synch with
Fedora native versions. Dan has already written the relevant code to
do this, and once we get more packages into the repository we'll be
ready to deploy it.

OK, looking here I see that you have patched ffmpeg, PTLib and Opal:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/ekiga-devel-list/2009-February/msg00042.html
Those are all libraries, and so candidates for inclusion in Fedora, if
you have patches for those.
