Hi,
I've managed to actually successfully compile
kannel on 10.1.5. (After installing the Fink packager from
sourceforge.net) (uhm, at least I think it's compiling correctly,
I may be wrong)
Namely, without the Fink packager I couldn't get
libxml2 to install properly on OS X 1.5.1 (I even tried out
installing a binary and also compiling from source). Anyway, now I'm able
to compile kannel without the libxml error. ONE down, millions more to
go!
I'm following your lead and advice, though and have
ordered an upgrade to version 1.2.x from Apple's web site.
However, until I receive the upgrade discs, I need
some pointers to help solving some configuration problems.
After typing ./configure ... as stated in the doc,
I typed the first time around only "make install" and the program ran for a
while and then finished, after the typical verbose dialogs going on for quite
long. It then left me with some "minor" changes to the system (namely in
the /usr/local/sbin) including: wapbox | smsbox |
bearerbox | run_kannel_box | start-stop-daemon
Newbie Q1) Is this the way it should
be?
After going through the documentation (I
wonder why do I always install first and THEN read the doc ;0) I
noticed it stated the use of "make bindir=/path/to/directory install". I
just typed make install.
Newbie Q2) Is this an important step or can I just
dismiss it and go ahead with what I have installed?
ANYWAY, after copying the kannel.conf file from the
gateway-1.2.0 install folder to my PATH, using it as a
starting point I'm trying to "fill in the blank" or
uncomment all the relevant information to get the tools up and running.
THIS is where I'm at, at the moment, basically
without a clue what to do next to get either the WAPBOX or the SMSBOX up
and running on my system.
For us newbies, I think the doc and FAQ available
on kannel's web site is fairly vague on lots of things. Perhaps, there's a
need for another mailing list aimed at newbies only, so not to disturb you
advanced geezers!
For instance, I understand one need to
setup an SMSC before sending out messages. Where do I start and how
do I install modems? As you've noticed, I haven't got a clue and I'm
sure loads of people out there are in the same boat. I've used both NOKIA,
ERICSSON, and Phone.com's developer gateways in the past so you have to
understand that I'm quite in a "walled garden" when it comes to this. But
I'm willing to learn. And I can pick things up quickly, I
promise!
I'm sorry about the long post.
Please help with some pointers wherever you
can.
Cheers
