Description André Klapper 2010-06-27 10:31:43 UTC 
For GLib 2.25.5 GDBus D-Bus support was merged, providing an API to replace dbus-glib.

See http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/gdbus.html and http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/ch28.html .

According to a quick grep this module seems to use dbus-glib:

./ekiga/configure.ac:    PKG_CHECK_MODULES([DBUS], [dbus-1 >= 0.36 dbus-glib-1 >= 0.36], [found_dbus=yes])
Comment 1 Snark 2010-06-27 13:56:17 UTC 
Unfortunately :
$ grep configure.ac -e glib-2.0
PKG_CHECK_MODULES([GLIB], [glib-2.0 >= 2.14.0 gmodule-2.0 gobject-2.0 gthread-2.0])

So that means pushing our deps way up.

Notice that we won't do that until most distributions and platforms have that version -- in particular http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html shows 2.24 only for now -- and I only have 2.25.10-1 here because I installed a debian/*experimental* package!

Ekiga is not under active development anymore:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/-/issues/273

Ekiga saw its last release 7 years ago. The last code commits were 4 years ago.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (and transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active Ekiga development again in the future.
