the only problem i have is with farsight2

I tried to compile it but on the ./configre  it asked for gstreamer 0.10.17 and with Gutsy we have the 0.10.14 release

You can either upgrade to hardy (it will be released untill the end of the month anyway), or compile it by hand (not recommended), or what I recommend is to download the 'source' package of hardy, and make a custom package for you to use it in gutsy (this is called backporting).

The main idea is to change the lines of deb-src in your sources.list file (to make it 'hardy' instead of 'gutsy'), the apt-get update to fetch the updated lists.

then you should do

apt-get -b source gstreamer0.10
and
apt-get -b source gst-plugins-base0.10

This will download these two source packages from hardy, and build them (-b) in your gutsy environment.

Of course theremay be some dependency problems (so you may have to do the same in other packages too, to upgrade them to hardy versions).

Unfortunatelly I have upgraded all my ubuntu systems to gutsy, so the only way i can test the procedure is with a gutsy live cd, but i cant find any right now..

Hello All,

I have the same problem, I can't compile farsight2.0.0.2, I have always this error :

fs-rtp-session.c: In function 'fs_rtp_session_class_init':
fs-rtp-session.c:217: erreur: 'GObjectClass' has no member named 'constructed'
make[3]: *** [libfsrtpconference_la-fs-rtp-session.lo] Erreur 1
make[3]: quittant le répertoire « /home/data/farsight2-0.0.1/gst/fsrtpconference »
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Erreur 1

And like the farsight wiki of amsn, I installe gstream, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugin-good, gst-plugins-bad

Please can you help me

[Kalinda]

Woohoo! Thanks KKRT for all your hard work

I, too, got as far as compiling Farsight2 when it yelled at me about not having the proper version of GStreamer. So, if anyone manages to backport the Hardy Gstreamer packages (yeah, you'll probably have to do all the plugin ones, too), could you post them for the rest of us?

I could try it, I spose; I might do that later.

[trv]

i can say that gstreamer can be easily backported looking at it's dependencies, but the same does not apply to the plugins package..

that package depends on a newer libc version that exists on hardy, and we would have to go all the way to backport the whole libc, and i dont know how easy that could be!

untill i find a gutsy livecd to test this, i would recommend to only backport gstreamer, then install / compile farsight2, and then maybe install the gutsy version of gstreamer again...

the other option would be to upgrade to hardy!

[bouriquo]

I compile the newer glib2

but now I have a new error

Hello all!
yeah.. I didn't think that all you guys would need packages prebuilt for you.. all my stuff is custom built, so I never had those issues...
so.. first!
@trv : good advice if you could make a .deb and share it for others, maybe that would help them all out! I might do it later though...
@bouriquo : your first error was because you need at least glib 2.16 and you seemed to have an older version!
I don't know about your last problem but make sure you have at least glib2 version 2.16 or newer (with the -dev package too!)

EDIT: humm.. it seems your second problem is because you have both versions of the lib installed! please make sure you have only one!

I've a problem when i've installed Farsight and all who is needed:

quetzal@helios:~/svn/amsn$ ./utils/farsight/farsight 1 2
**
** ERROR:(utils/farsight/farsight.c:273):main: assertion failed: (conference != NULL)
Abandon (core dumped)

[kakaroto]

you didn't install farsight2 with --prefix /usr... read the wiki please!
you can fix this by doing this before launching amsn :

Code:

export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.10
./amsn

[flomar34]

@trv : good advice Smile if you could make a .deb and share it for others, maybe that would help them all out! Smile I might do it later though...

It should be great  

Thanks a lot for your help

[Quetzal]

I've read the wiki but i've not see the faq in the wiki (i've had some more other problems before getting this problem and I forget to re-read the wiki for the last problem).
But all work now, thanks you ! (first i've not see this topic, i've only see that the svn had been updated and the link to the wiki)

[kakaroto]

@Quetzal : ouhh ouhhh! would you be the first to have it working? :p (apart from me obviously:p)
what do you mean when you say "it all works now"... is it just farsight that works ? or you were able to make an audio call one of your contacts and it worked?
and I'd like to know if you see the SIREN codec in the farsight output..

@flomar34 : I just tried to make debs but as I'm in gutsy, it was crap.. I apparently need a 'lot of dependencies' that I don't have... and I don't want to update to hardy for it.. especially since it will try to update my libc6 which is not a good idea! :p
will edit the control file and try again

[Fabioamd87]

i'm very noob maybe... but im on hardy and I still can compile aMsn...
he tell me that gsteramer or farsight ... but i've installed the packages with apt...

[trv]

I'm trying to get this working in hardy...

make deb produces an error and stops.

i have installed gstreamer-plugin-farsight-siren (made a deb for hardy actually)

and i have installed farsight2 (couldn't make a deb, checkinstall refused to function correctly, so i installed the 'make install' way successfully.

now i configured amsn, found farsight, make was successfull, but make deb produces this error in the dh_shlibdeps part:

dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: no dependency information found for /usr/lib/libgstfarsight-0.10.so.0 (used by debian/amsn/usr/local/amsn/share/amsn/utils/farsight/farsight).
dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512

i'm looking into it as we speak..

[Fabioamd87]

i don't know but maybe this can help us?

that's very interesting... ) i'll test it asap
