[Linphone-users] latest linphone doesn't compile under Ubuntu 11.04 / docs

[allcoms]

Hi list!

I've tried vanilla sources for latest stable release, stable with the
Debian 'experimental' branch patch applied and the latest git and all
failed to compile under Ubuntu Natty.

The git code gets as far as:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/dan/src/linphone/coreapi'
  CC     linphonecall.lo
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
linphonecall.c: In function ‘make_profile’:
linphonecall.c:806:5: error: implicit declaration of function
‘linphone_core_get_upload_ptime’
make[3]: *** [linphonecall.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/src/linphone/coreapi'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/src/linphone/coreapi'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/src/linphone'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Latest stable (3.4.3) + Debian experimental patch ends like so:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/dan/src/linphone-3.4.3/gtk'
  CC     main.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
main.c: In function ‘main’:
main.c:1435:8: error: ignoring return value of ‘chdir’, declared with
attribute warn_unused_result
make[3]: *** [main.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/src/linphone-3.4.3/gtk'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/src/linphone-3.4.3/gtk'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/src/linphone-3.4.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2


One problem with the linphone included with both squeeze and natty
(3.3.2) is that trying to send an IM often causes the GTK linphone to
crash.

I currently can't make outgoing calls to regular people although I can
call echo test numbers and receive calls fine. I suspect it will be my
router firewall settings that need to be adjusted.

Finally, I think the docs on the website are a bit too scant. Some
things that need to be covered include entering your account details
under the desktop version, common troubleshooting (changing
upload/download limits, echo tests, opening ports etc.) and installing
the h264 codec. Once I can make outgoing calls I'd be up for
submitting some more docs if I can get them put up or linked to on
linphone.org.

Thanks!
