Bug#978616: mediastreamer2: doesn't build correct libraries with cmake?

[Bernhard Schmidt]

Dear Gianfranco,

Thanks for filing this bug report. I’m away for the next couple of days and could not check, but wouldn’t just patching the pkgconfig file (your second option) be a lot easier? Upstream merged both libraries and they probably just forgot to change the pkgconfig file as well.

In the end linphone upstream does not seem to care much about other programs using their library. 

Bernhard
