It wouldn't work any other way. If I shut down webcamd the video stops working. Ekiga3 already supported V4L2 but with minor breakage, omiting freebsd from an ifdef with other BSD flavors. That is why the patch was trivial. Am I missing something? The only thing I couldn't figure out is why /usr/local/lib was not in the lib search path, so I fudged and did the setenv thing. > Else your patches look good.

The configure script has a -rpath=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin in the cc command line in one of the tests. This is not recognized and I didn't see an obvious way to fix that cleanly. It also fails on the link if I fix the configure to get past the test. Curtis
