[Linphone-developers] Linux build error - 3.5.0 stable

[Rich Chase]

Hello,

I got the following error when trying to compile 3.5.0 stable source
code on Fedora 16.  It seems like an autotools configuration file error
of some kind, but I don't know how to find the exact cause of this
error.  I would just edit the Makefiles, but it seems there is a
stamping system I don't understand that causes a reconfiguration when I
call make. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fedora has a linphone rpm package, but it's an older version, and I want
linphone with srtp support.  I am using GNU Make 3.82, gcc 4.6.2,
autoconf 2.68.

My config options:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-gtk_ui=yes
--enable-notify=yes --enable-ipv6 --enable-truespeech
--enable-nonstandard-gsm --enable-rsvp --enable-ssl --enable-video
--enable-alsa --enable-strict --enable-tunnel=no --with-pic
--with-gnu-ld  --with-osip --with-readline --with-ffmpeg
