Title: linphone - update request
Post by: netnomad on December 10, 2011, 07:07:56 AM
hi bmarkus,

linphone is now in version 3.4.3 with lots of improvements.
would you be so kind and update it to the actual version?
i really plan to use linphone extensively with tinycore,
because i want to communicate with friends abroad in the future.
with the actual version in the repository i did not succeed...
does it still work with the actual dependencies?

thanks your help and commitment.

When I tried to update few weeks ago blocking factor was obsolance of few dependencies.

is it difficult so sum up the blocking dependencies?
perhaps it could be solved in some way...

Do not remember, and unfortunately I have no time to deal with linphone due to day job rush, but it os on my todo list.

Work in progress. I'm struggling with missing dependencies of ffmpeg dev extension :(

Let me know if updated version works for you or not. For video telephony you need Xorg-7.6.tcz installed. It is not in .dep as not required for voice-only operation.

hi roberts,

video works just out of the box on differrent kind of hardware...
... and i have no problem to connect and to share webcam-pictures.



my problem is just the normal telephony, the exchange of voice and sound.
i can here my microphone input in my local earphones,
but this input is not transmited by sip.
i guess my trouble is caused by oss and i have to try alsa.
or perhaps i didn“t choose the devices f.e. /dev/dsp0 correctly?

first i will try to config a stable alsa-soundsystem...

Good to hear that video is OK. Lack of sound can be can be either local sound system issue or a codec, codec negotiation too. Check linphone sound input device in preference additionally. BTW, sent a new version with GSM codec added which was missing by accident and present build. Also, SILK codec plugin is submitted.

hi bmarkus,

thank you for your reply.
what sound system do you use?
did you succeed with oss?
i like to keep the system lean and with oss i got the smallest footprint and the highest flexibility on different kind of hardware...
it's the same with xvesa... is there a way to get the video option without xorg?

thank you for sharing your experience.

I did not try OSS. Why it looks promissing, I always end up with some problem with OSS so I use ALSA. Also during compilation one of the dependencies brings ALSA dev, don't remember which one.

Didn't try Xvesa. Running on stock TC in a terminal you can see an error message claimng a missing Xvideo extension and no local camera picture. Xorg is a soft dependency, so you can try current version with Xvesa. Let us share the result.

hi bmarkus,

i want to confirm you a full working live-usbstick-linphone-alsa-xorg-video configuration.
thank you very much for your nice extension and your work.

in the future i want to look for a tiny, lean oss-xvesa-solution as well.
if you can give me hints for reaching this goal, every hint and help is highly appreciated :)

keep on going, thanks for your commitment :)

Video requires Xorg, however it is possible to build a voice only version to eliminate this dependency.

OSS is a good question. While it looks promissing, I always end up with some failures and go back to ALSA to have a working system. Distributions usually install ALSA by deafault for similar reason. All together OSS is out of my interest :(

your actual package works seamless voice-only with xvesa, never mind :)

in the moment i use alsa as my standard sound system, too.
but nevertheless on some hardware alsa doesn't work out-of-the-box,
while oss just works on this alsa-problematic hardware :(

one of my goals is a "one size fits all"- or
"one config that just works on almost every hardware"-concept and it's almost possible :)

If there ever will be a tc release for Raspberry Pi I would get one and install linphone.  8)
