Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Building pwlib/openh323 : need to keep source directories for using the libs? (PWLIBDIR/OPENH323DIR issue)

Hello Damien,

Thanks for your help. See my comments inline.

It seems it is. Here is the configure error I get after having 
configured, built and installed pwlib as you advised:
[...]
OpenH323 version is 1.15.3
checking for 
/folk/vrubiolo/Archives/openh323-1.15.3/../pwlib/version.h... no
checking for /folk/vrubiolo/pwlib/include/ptlib.h... no
checking for /usr/local/include/ptlib.h... no
checking for /usr/include/ptlib.h... no
Cannot find pwlib - please install or set PWLIBDIR and try again
[...]

(/folk/vrubiolo/Archives/openh323-1.15.3' is my source tree)

I configured pwlib with the following flags :
$ ./configure --prefix=/folk/vrubiolo/InstalledProgs/pwlib-1.8.4/ 
--enable-plugins

This is what I did. It fails with the abovementioned message. I think 
this is because it expects the library to be installed in /usr/lib, 
which I don't want and cannot anyway (not root access).

True.

I believe you. I suspect the problem is in pwlib/openh323 and not in 
gnomemeeting.
