Quick and easy task for this day: check which is the status of openwengo since seems that’s the only client providing what skype does, at least in theory…<\/p>\n
Part one, get the source – delivered from the site as a nifty .zip<\/p>\n
– wget + unzip worked as should <\/p>\n
Part two, build the beast.<\/p>\n
– cmake! The worst build system since imake, sadly brought into the fashionable stuff because of KDE4,
\n Now we get something interesting, on a phenom you get:<\/p>\n
qlop -tH cmake
\ncmake: 5 minutes, 12 seconds for 1 merges<\/p>\n
A comparison:
\nperl: 3 minutes, 43 seconds for 1 merges
\nm4: 29 seconds for 1 merges
\nautomake: 14 seconds for 3 merges
\nautoconf: 16 seconds for 2 merges
\nlibtool: 44 seconds for 1 merges
\nmake: 30 seconds for 1 merges
\ncmake: 5 minutes, 12 seconds for 1 merges<\/p>\n
Using something less new makes the whole thing even more interesting. Let’s say that to build something using cmake I need the 3\/2 the time to build perl, just to start.<\/p>\n
gentoo has an ebuild for it so it it’s just getting it, (why cmake needs xmlrpc-c is a question I’ll left unanswered…)<\/p>\n
Now back to openwengo.<\/p>\n
I have to create a build dir and run cmake from there, it obviously finds something wrong with ffmpeg even if supposedly it has its stale internal version (remind: ffmpeg changed the include paths some time ago) as fallback (no, you have to run cmake a first time, have it fail, run ccmake, find the right option and turn it on, start again).<\/p>\n
I’m not sure if this brain damage is due wengo people or cmake, still I find this annoying. The *oh* so despised configure from autotools can be smarter and does not require that many lines if you know what you are doing…<\/p>\n
It still doesn’t take in account that there are different endianess for linux (autotools have a nice builtin for this…)…<\/p>\n
Once the thing built (took a while), I just got more or less the same thing I got last time I tried it, looks like the 2.2 isn’t quite up to date and they are working on the new mayor release =\/<\/p>\n
