Dear all,

I can not compile QuteCom.
Does one of you has successfully installed QuteCom on Slackware 12.2?
Best,

Eric.

I just tried and it seems to be a very difficult one to compile. I've tried and it doesn't want to. But if you wish to try, I got close. First you need to have qt4 installed, if you don't have it, then install it. You'll also need other dependencies like libsndfile and speex and ffmpeg and more.

I would recommend maybe try to find an rpm and use 'rpm2tgz' and then install it, maybe it'll work. If not, try compiling it and post back if you have problems, I've had to modify the makefile and fix some C code and it still won't compile. As usual, this project code is in a terrible state.

I took a look at the qutecom website and took a stab at getting it to run. I downloaded the 2.2-RC3 version and looked at the INSTALL.txt file. According to this file you need a C++ compiler, QT4, BOOST, and CMake. The C compiler and Cmake should be installed in a full Slackware install and QT4 and Boost can be downloaded and compiled from slackbuilds.org. I did a quick google search and there are some patches to get the RC3 version to compile on Linux. I found the message here and the resulting patches I used to compile QuteCom are here. There are some other packages needed for compiling so make sure you read INSTALL.txt carefully. With that information I compiled QuteCom successfully. I made a slackbuild for QuteCom. If you'd like to use it for reference or to even compile the program then you're welcome to it. My qutecom.SlackBuild is available here.
The only issue I found was when I ran QuteCom from the command line it gave me this message.
During compilation there were several warnings but they didn't seem to interfere with the compile. Since this is a release candidate the warnings seem consistent with this type of release. There are some more patches that could be used but you can apply them yourself. The bugtracker is here.

Thank you for your replies guys,

Actually,

I've successfully compiled it on slackware 12.1. And with the 12.2 I get:


[ 43%] Building C object wifo/phapi/CMakeFiles/phapi.dir/phcodec-avcodec-wrapper.o

I knew about these patches you gave me the references but Idonot know how to use them. Just now I get:


patch -p1 < ../../qutecom_googlebreakpad_64.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

File to patch:


Can you please explain to me?
I've just try your script and the result is


./compile.sh: line 76: (: command not found


Best,

Eric.

Try a different level so, '-p2' or '-p3', and make sure you put the patch in the main source directory.

What I did to get past that error is open '/home/germaneau/soft/qutecom/qutecom-2.2-RC3/wifo/phapi/phcodec-avcodec-wrapper.c' and comment out line 126 using a '//' in front of it.

Thank you very much,

with your script I've apply patches correctly and then after commented out that line the program compiled.
Best,

Eric.

Cool, it really compiled ? Amazing, really. Well, if so, glad to hear that.

Glad it helped. Line 126 was actually deleted with the patch "qutecom_wifo_phapi.patch" file.
