From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.10) Gecko/20070313 Fedora/1.5.0.10-5.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.10 Description of problem: linphone comes with a local copy of libgsm and links it in statically. Now that libgsm is available as a separate package (see bug 239770), it'd be nice if linphone used it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): linphone-1.7.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build linphone Actual Results: Internal copy of gsm lib is used. Expected Results: System gsm lib should be used. Additional info:
Unfortunately GSM does not exist in Fedora as a separate library. It is in the repository which must not be named. I've been considering for a while whether linphone should move there anyway so that ffmpeg can be used to compile in support for video.
You should read more carefully. I've just told you that it *IS* available in Fedora. In fact, it's just been built. See the bugzilla link I gave above.
Linphone linked against the system GSM library should be available in the next batch of packages.
That was quick! Thank you!
