Hi there,
I have installed some applications thru 'apt-get' command. I found that it is much different with Windows where normally the installed program is in one folder while in Ubuntu, the program will located in many folders. I wonder whether I can get the full source code for the application I have installed thru 'apt-get'? Where to locate them?

This is because I have faced problem in using the Kphone installed thru 'apt-get' and installed thru compilation of source code from tarball. I get quite bad voice quality when I called using Kphone SI 'sudo make install' from the source tarball downloaded from sourceforge.net. However, good voice quality is obtained when I used Kphone installed thru 'sudo apt-get' command. Is that the source code different or is that because of Kphone is differs with Kphone SI?

Thank you if anyone can leave a comment for me. ;-)

http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/kphone

Looking in the patch, you will see the differences
from the original. This patch was compiled into the
result / package, you are using.
> > [kphone_4.2-6ubuntu1.diff.gz]

With missing information about version of Ubuntu and
'kphone' : you can find other versions in the above
link.
....

apt-get source package

Can be used as non-root, downloads to your current directory.

Thanks alot.
ya, I successfully downloaded the Kphone source code from http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/kphone and also using the command apt-get source package. I found both source code are the same. However I face problem in compiling it.

In file included from main.cpp:5:
kcallwidget.h:70: error: extra qualification ‘KCallWidget::’ on member ‘setDTMFSender’
In file included from main.cpp:7:
kphoneview.h:57: error: extra qualification ‘KPhoneView::’ on member ‘DoCall’
make[1]: *** [main.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ims07/Desktop/kphone/kphone'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron but the source code I obtained from the website is for Ubuntu 8.10 intrepid. Does this matter which cause the compilation error? I search through the other version of kphone under Hardy but there only provide the package installer (deb).

I never managed to run kphone with sip, to conifgure it with ekiga, ... gizmo accounts ...
it is too complicated

Did you do this before compiling

'gunzip kphone_4.2-6ubuntu1.diff.gz' and

'patch -p0 < kphone_4.2-6ubuntu1.diff'

The patch is to be placed just outside the directory "kphone"

??

ya thanks. I solved the problem already. Previously I have gunzip and patch it. but I didn't realize that it will create other patch files in a new folder where I need to patch all those patch files by myself. So now I manage to compile it successfully. Hopefully no other problem coming up.

hello
plz i want your help to patch the kphone
when i tried to patch it i got such as this lines -->

root@suha-laptop:~/Desktop/kphone/kphone-4.2/debian/patches# patch -p0 < Makefile-nostrip.diff
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

File to patch:




which file is he mean??????
thanx

If you're in the directory of the source code you are patching, you'll likely need to use -p1. If you're one up (where you extracted it) -p0. Assuming that the patch .diff has the same path value.

tar -xzvpf source.tar.gz
zcat patch.gz | patch -p0

or

tar -xjvpf source.tar.bz2
cd source
bzcat patch.bz2 | patch -p1

both do basically the same thing. assuming no failures or that the patch wasn't already applied in the sources that you have.

thanx alot for your help

i got these lines :
