gossip-voip and the n800

Today, after some hard work, I managed to get up early in the morning (yay!).

I remembered I had put telepathy-voip on my to-test list so I decided to make a good use of the morning checking out Raphael’s gossip-voip branch. Some folks in #telepathy pointed me to bug #414397, there I found a big patch containing the voip bits for gossip.
The problem with this patch was that being one month old it didn’t apply anymore, so I tried (and succeeded) updating it.
The result is attached to the bug, in case you are thinking about trying to build telepathy-voip magic, maybe you can use these tips:

• sudo checkinstall -D(for .deb) --nodocs --pkgversion `date +%Y%m%d` is your friend, but if whatever you are installing uses gconf your package won’t work because of a shared-files chaos (tips wanted)
• This Tapioca wiki page gives you a good general idea of the process. I used the ./configure parameters listed there and I had no problem.
• If you build gst-plugins-farsight you might run into an undeclared stuff problem, to fix it (or at least what I did) you have to:
  • edit gst/rtpjitterbuffer/gstrtpjitterbuffer-marshal.h and s/_marshal_BOXED__UINT/gstrtpjitterbuffer_marshal_BOXED__UINT
  • edit gst/rtpjitterbuffer/gstrtpjitterbuffer-marshal.c and s/_marshal_BOXED__UINT/gstrtpjitterbuffer_marshal_BOXED__UINT
• autoreconf -fi everything that comes from a darcs repo or you’ll be wondering why there are no Makefile.in files
• If you apply the voip patch to gossip remember to do ./autogen.sh
