[Linphone-developers] linphone 3.4.0 on debian sid compiled from source: segfault when opening video

[Nextime]

Hello,
in debian linphone is compiled with a patched ffmpeg that drop some video codec
for license/patent cause.

As i need to have h263p support, i've recompiled linphone from sources.

I'm on debian sid, with latest -dev libraries from debian-multimedia, where
ffmpeg doesn't have such limitations.

I've recompiled linphone 3.4.0 latest stable released source, but i have an 
issue 
when i try to start the video ( even without a call, if i enable video
with local loopback video ). It simply crash with segmentation fault.

Running linphone in gdb, event if it isn't compiled with debugging symbols,
it say:

-----------------

I've tryed with both v4l2 and v4l support, and it does segfault even if
i select the "static image" video device.

Of course my cam is working good as expected, and with the linphone from debian 
package
it was working good ( but not usefull for me as it lack h263p support ).


Anyone have an idea on what i can try to do to fix this issue?
