In your package you use a macro for aclocal-1.7 included in automake package 1.7.

On Suse 9.2 , we are at level 1.9.1 for automake

Impossible to reamize the phase 2 ( make ) of your tarball

Suggest to adapt your package to recent package

Please try CVS version. To get it, type:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/anca login

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/anca co -P anca

Thanks

Ok using your CVS package , the problem persist...

Well I was finally able to compile this nice piece of software.
I encountered many problems basicly due to openh323 and pwlib different versions. Thanks to some patient users I finally made it.
It was necessary to export those so mentioned variables save for the detail that you have to export them after configure. Thus it ended up being like this.
1 - Get openh323 and pwlib (1.12.2 and 1.5.2) to my surprise this take way longer to compile than more recent versions
2 - cd into anca's source and configure (in debian sid I had to use --prefix=/usr --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3
)
3 - export OPENH323DIR=/home/user/src/openh323
export PWLIBDIR=/home/user/src/pwlib
I hope no one sets that same path if its not their real openh323 and pwlib source directory.
4 - enjoy it!!!!

Some other details I experienced:
Having I two v4l devices: video0 bttv and video1 ov511. First time I started it, videoin would recognise bttv perfectly and access it by default. When changing it to point video1 (ov511) it wouldnt be able to open device. I had to reboot, then it made it.
Interface is nice and simple. There are still some details that need improving but not that many.
To the author - Really nice tool, thx for sharing it with us.

This solution does not work for me.
Cannot compile anca.

Get the version 0.9.1. It should help

It seems that anca is having problems compiling on many different machines and distros. Perhaps you should make available a detailed instruction readme including any deps anca may need.

As far as I can tell, I have everything it needs but it still fails to compile.

I tried your exports args and they made it worse. So I made clean and start again with ./configure PREFIX=/usr && make.

If you're interested, here is the session history http://home.earthlink.net/~borgqueen/anca-errors.txt

I'd really like to get this app running. It sounds wonderful I also wouldn't like to see a whole year's effort lost. So if there's anything I can do, within my abilities, I'll do.

Thanks,

The Borg Queen

It's for your information

If you have openh323 version 1.12.2 and pwlib version 1.5.2 somewhere on your disk, then set system variables OPENH323DIR and PWLIBDIR to correct value, eg. export OPENH323DIR=/home/user/src/openh323 (and the same for PWLIBDIR)

Ok , If you cannot accept the last PWLIB version , I consider your application is obsolated .
Suggest to adapt your program for last PWLIB.
I have no intention to return to old version for these libraries.
Sorry
Best regards.
Raoul

Thx for the --with-qt-dir parameter. That made the configure work.
But now I have something else. I had to reinstall openh323 and pwlib in /usr prefix otherwise it would give me errors when trying to access h323.h.
After that it tells me this:

Are you using an old linux distribution?

Because source code don't compil with recent libs versions and recent gcc.

ii gcc 3.3.5-1 The GNU C compiler
ii g++ 3.3.5-1 The GNU C++ compiler
ii libopenh323-1. 1.13.5.4-4 H.323 aka VoIP library
ii libpt-dev 1.6.6.4-5.1 Portable Windows Library development files

No, I use debian sid. But I support just OpenH323 version 1.12.2 and PWLib version 1.5.2. These can be downloaded from www.openh323.org as stable. You can try binary packages that were just released. I'll do my best to support the latest CVS versions of PWLib and OpenH323...

On my system(debian), openh323 include are in /usr/include/openh323

When configuring the sources I get this:
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.2) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!

Which only happens to me in old kde apps sources. (first Kde 3 releases)

If there is something to set differently in the configure script please let us know.

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3/

This works on debian
