Re: [Linphone-users] address@hidden

This worked well....Linphone now opens from the GUI.  Must admit I had 
to give up on MenuLibre as it apparently requires slackware 14.   Vector 
is working on that now.

As to the slow loading, that problem is solved (I took all the "friends" 
out of linphonerc.  However, I now have to copy and paste contact info 
(phone numbers), so that's a bummer.  I am looking at faster ways to do 
this.

As to the problem with "enable self view" I can't tell if that is fixed 
or not (I doubt it) as I no longer have any video codecs in 
preferences.  They are apparently in linphonerc, but don't show in the 
gui window.  I probably don't know how to pass VIDEO=yes to the build 
script.  Here is what I do:

# ./linphone.SlackBuild VIDEO=yes

I then use installpkg to install the SBO file.  Linphone runs when I do 
this but does the Video Input Device is greyed out and no video codecs 
show in Preferences.

You have already done more than enough.  Still, any thoughts you have 
about any of this, are most appreciated.
