• twinkle-1.4.1.tar.gz

Prerequisites

In order to compile and run Twinkle you need to install the following packages if you do not have them on your system already.

• commoncpp2-1.6.1.tar.gz [GNU Common CPP framework]
• ccrtp-1.6.0.tar.gz [GNU ccRTP]
• libzrtpcpp-1.3.0.tar.gz [ZRTP extension for GNU ccRTP] (optional)
• Qt for open source (3.3.0 or later, but not Qt4)
• libsndfile [WAV file handling]
• Speex (optional)
• ilbc library (optional). For Suse you can get the ilbc package with apt. You can build the library yourself from ilbc-rfc3951.tar.gz provided by linphone
• Boost [C++ libraries]

You have to install the commoncpp2 package before the ccrtp package.

You can find the project page for commoncpp2 and ccrtp here for the latest versions. commoncpp2 and ccrtp are part of the common package published on this project page.

Note: the ilbc library is not GPL'ed. Check the license at www.ilbcfreeware.org to see if it fits your usage. When you have the ilbc library installed on your system, then Twinkle's configure script automically sets up the Makefiles to link against it.

Twinkle is not compatible with Qt4.

Instructions

The procedure to install the *.tar.gz packages is as follows:

1. Unpack the file <name>.tar.gz

tar xzf <name>.tar.gz

2. Enter the directory resulting from unpacking

cd <name>

3. Configure the build environment

./configure

4. Compile the source code

make

5. Install the binaries (must be done with root user permission)

make install

After you installed Twinkle, you can start it with the following command:

twinkle

KDE vs non-KDE

Twinkle can be built on both KDE and non-KDE systems. Without the KDE libraries some functions like the interface to KAddressBook will not be available however.

The configure script checks for the presence of the kde-config script on your system. If it is available, a KDE version will be built, otherwise a non-KDE version will be built.

To force a build of a non-KDE version of Twinkle:

./configure --without-kde

Optional parts

• iLBC support
• Speex support
• ZRTP support

The configure script detects if you have the necessary libraries for the optional parts installed. If you don't have a library, then the associated optional part is automatically disabled. If you have a library isntalled but you still wish to compile Twinkle without an optional part, then you can use the following configure options to disable them.

./configure --without-ilbc
./configure --without-speex
./configure --without-zrtp
