Compiling Ekiga from Source

Question

I'm compiling Ekiga from source. Apparently I have installed all the necessary dependencies because I don't get any errors when running ./configure. There is one feature that I can't seem to enable however. The output from ./configure shows mDNS/DNS-SD support : disabled Is there a missing dependency that I should install to enable this feature?

You have to start configure with the AVAHI support, like this.

./configure --enable-avahi

This is what I got from the configure script.

--enable-avahi          enable mDNS support (default is disabled)

But, I suppose, this will not break the installation. You might miss the avahi after installation. Honestly, I don't even know what avahi is.

You can have a look at ekiga's build dependencies on it's packages.ubuntu.com source package page.

From your commandline, you can install build dependencies automatically by using sudo apt-get build-dep ekiga.
