okay, i did that! look for my build instructions here:
http://www.hackdaworld.dyndns.org/filez/projects/rock/ext/pwlib/pwlib.ext
http://www.hackdaworld.dyndns.org/filez/projects/rock/ext/openh323/openh323.ext
http://www.hackdaworld.dyndns.org/filez/projects/rock/ext/gnomemeeting/gnomemeeting.ext

as you can see i took ur patched version of openh323 and also applied the patch to
pwlib.

here are the build logs:
http://www.hackdaworld.dyndns.org/filez/projects/rock/logs/e-pwlib.log
http://www.hackdaworld.dyndns.org/filez/projects/rock/logs/e-openh323.log
http://www.hackdaworld.dyndns.org/filez/projects/rock/logs/e-gnomemeeting.log

well, this all looks good for me. though i am still unable to select a video device
(also tried starting xawtv before - btw, xawtv just displays in b&w colors after
having launched gm - well at least thats what i think ;)

regards, frank
