[Opalvoip-devel] Debian unstable and opal

[Alexander S. <ale...@gm...>]

I know that using Debian unstable is a recipe for all kinds of troubles 
but still will be happy to see if Robert advise on situation.
Ubuntu building on Opal quite ok. Works as it should. Debian stable able 
to build Opal but there is crash probably because of compiler specific 
problem.
So I got myself into a problem with building libav oriented plugins 
under newer Debian variant.
But here Opal get a problem with a newer ffmpeg (or its substitution) 
packages:

H263_RFC2190_Encoder::Construct()’:

Same thing goes for h264, h261 and mpeg4 plugins.
Is there anything to help with this situation?
I look inside system-wide libavcodec/version.h and find it have higher 
major version than version header inside Opal:

#define LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MAJOR 55
#define LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MINOR 34
#define LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MICRO 1

#define LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_INT AV_VERSION_INT(LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MAJOR, \
LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MINOR, \
LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MICRO)
#define LIBAVCODEC_VERSION AV_VERSION(LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MAJOR, \
LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MINOR, \
LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_MICRO)
#define LIBAVCODEC_BUILD LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_INT

#define LIBAVCODEC_IDENT "Lavc" AV_STRINGIFY(LIBAVCODEC_VERSION)
