From the build log:

[ 857s] Build with voice and video.... : no And configure verifies (to get to this conclusion): if test "x$enable_gstreamer" != "xno" -a "x$enable_gstinterfaces" != "xno" -a "x$enable_farstream" != "xno"; then AC_DEFINE(USE_VV, 1, [Use voice and video]) Build log also says: [ 849s] checking for GSTREAMER... yes [ 849s] checking for gst_registry_fork_set_enabled in -lgstreamer-1.0... yes [ 849s] checking for FARSTREAM... no => so, GSTreamer is present, farstream not detected. The check from above though is not valid with GStreamer 1.0: gstinterfaces had been deprecated; as a result, it will never be true (one part of the problem: the check in configure is wrong). Another issue is that farstream is being checked for farstream-0.1; which has long been changed to farstream-0.2. Due to configure not having --enable-vv passed, the was based on 'auto detect' and the feature was transparently lost with the update (back in March) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Was actually the 'root of the evil', why the port to GStreamer never caught this as a missing feature. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It only needed five GStreamer packages from Packman (gstreamer gstreamer-utils libgstreamer-1_0-0 gstreamer-devel typelib-1_0-Gst-1_0). translation-update-upstream is incredibly resource intensive. You can bypass it by: export SKIP_TUU=true . It ended up configuring with these options; I'm showing all of them just in case my judgment of what's uninteresting is wrong. /configure --host=x86_64-suse-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-suse-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-static --disable-schemas-install --enable-plugins --enable-cyrus-sasl --enable-dbus --disable-mono --enable-gstreamer --enable-nm --enable-dbus --enable-devhelp --enable-vv <== This is the key item --with-tclconfig=/usr/lib64 --with-tkconfig=/usr/lib64 --with-system-ssl-certs=/etc/ssl/certs ./configure output included these messages among tons of others: checking for GSTVIDEO... yes checking for FARSTREAM... yes checking for IDN... yes The complete configuration summary is: pidgin 2.10.7 Build GTK+ 2.x UI............. : yes Build console UI.............. : yes Build for X11................. : yes Enable Gestures............... : yes Protocols to build dynamically : bonjour gg irc jabber msn myspace mxit novell o scar sametime silc simple yahoo zephyr Protocols to link statically.. : Build with GStreamer support.. : yes Build with D-Bus support...... : yes Build with voice and video.... : yes <=== Key item D-Bus services directory...... : /usr/share/dbus-1/services Build with GNU Libidn......... : yes Build with NetworkManager..... : yes SSL Library/Libraries......... : Mozilla NSS and GnuTLS SSL CA certificates directory. : /etc/ssl/certs Build with Cyrus SASL support. : yes Use kerberos 4 with zephyr.... : no Use external libzephyr........ : no Use external libgadu.......... : yes Install pixmaps............... : yes Old tray icon compatibility... : no Install translations.......... : yes Has you....................... : yes Use XScreenSaver Extension.... : yes Use X Session Management...... : yes Use startup notification...... : yes Build with GtkSpell support... : yes Build with plugin support..... : yes Build with Mono support....... : no Build with Perl support....... : yes Build with Tcl support........ : yes Build with Tk support......... : yes Print debugging messages...... : no Pidgin will be installed in /usr/bin. [End of configuration summary.] The RPMs produced were believable. The one for Pidgin appeared identical to dimstar's package, no surprise, which means it had no recognizable voice-video configuration plugin. There is no sign that anything video-ish was compiled. I did: grep -r -l -i farstream . There were 163 hits. All the makefiles define FARSTREAM_CFLAGS and FARSTREAM_LIBS (useless). Libpurple seems to depend on libfarstream-0.2.so but the code that uses it is not obvious. ./libpurple/mediamanager.c and ./libpurple/media/backend-fs2.c can #include farstream.h or farsight.h according to HAVE_FARSIGHT (which is back-version for us), but I don't see where the included declarations are used. I'm coming to the conclusion that the voice-video plugin would have been built if present, but it is not present in this source package. Sigh. So why does my experience differ from that in comment #7 by Rafal Milecki (2014-03-03)?
