net-misc/h323plus-1.25.0-r1 needs ptlib-config to build, which is no longer present in net-libs/ptlib-2.12.4

With ptlib-2.10.10, it builds fine.

I'll get to this. The actual ptlib-config is not shipped with the new version, but it is just only a bash script with variables that could be easily added to ptlib-2.12.4.

OTOH, it could be nice to see if ptlib-config could be replaced by a call to pkg-config...

Fall back to pkg-config if ptlib-config is not detected

Initial attempt at making h323plus build with ptlib. Still fails due to problems with compiler flags.

Upstream commented on the issue. They have apparently fixed the problem in their VCS already.

neurogeek dropped maintainership of this package

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2015-11-06 15:12:46 UTC]

this package was removed at some point

[Comment 7 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2015-11-06 15:44:40 UTC]

The package still exists and still fails to build against ptlib-2.12.

[Comment 8 Pacho Ramos 2017-07-14 10:59:13 UTC]

finally 2.12 went to nowhere. If finally a newer major version is released, we will work on that one
