I haven't tried it. But it's more than a hack.

From time.h:

/* This is the obsolete POSIX.1-1988 name for the same 
constant.  */
# if !defined __STRICT_ANSI__ && !defined __USE_XOPEN2K
#  ifndef CLK_TCK
#   define CLK_TCK      CLOCKS_PER_SEC
#  endif
# endif

Now grab_partial_image.c does include time.h, so it should 
work as coded.

I've posted a comment to the libdc1394 list.

I will repeat 5 times: Read carefully before hitting Send.

I should have written:

The *opal* spec file just requires pwlib >= 1.8.3. Not so. 
You'll need a newer pwlib to build opal.

I removed gm-1.2.2 and just have gm2.

Ah. No. I'll go google this. What's the right question - 
keywords?

As far as I can see, opal is building these codecs:

configure: Forcing use of system Speex library
checking SIP protocol... enabled
checking H.323 protocol... enabled
checking IAX2 protocol... enabled
checking linux/telephony.h usability... yes

( I have speex 1.0.5 installed)

What about g711, for instance?

Is there soething else I should be doing?
