Gammu All Mobile Management Utilities - Installation
====================================================


Binaries - Linux
================

Many distributions come with prebuilt Gammu binaries, if you can use
them, it is definitely the easiest thing.


Binaries - Windows
==================

You can download Windows binaries from <http://cihar.com/gammu/>. For
Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0 you will also need ShFolder DLL, which can be
downloaded from Microsoft:

From Sources - Linux
====================

You need CMake from <http://www.cmake.org> for configuring Gammu.

For compatibility reasons, configure like wrapper is provided, if you
don't need much specific tuning, you can use general "./configure; make;
sudo make install" set of commands. The configure wrapper will create
directory build-configure and build all binaries there (nothing is
changed in source tree), for example gammu binary is in
build-configure/gammu directory.

If you need/want to tweak build a bit more than configure wrapper
provides, you have to use CMake directly. For now, only out of source
build is supported, so you have to create separate directory for build:

> mkdir build
> cd build

Then just configure project:

> cmake ..

Build it:

> make

Test that everything is okay:

> make test

And finally install it:

> sudo make install

You can configure build parameters either by command line (see
parameters bellow), or using TUI - ccmake.

Useful cmake parameters:

-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON enables shared library
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug" enables debug build
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr" change installation prefix
-DENABLE_PROTECTION=OFF disables various compile time protections
against buffer overflows and similar attacks
-DBUILD_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.6 changes Python used for build Python
module

You can also disable support for whole set of phones, e.g.:

-DWITH_NOKIA_SUPPORT=OFF disables Nokia phones support
-DWITH_BLUETOOTH=OFF disables Bluetooth support
-DWITH_IRDA=OFF disables IrDA support


From Sources - Windows
======================

You need CMake from <http://www.cmake.org> for configuring Gammu. CMake
is able to generate projects for various tools including Microsoft
Visual Studio, Borland toolchains, Cygwin or Mingw32. Just click on
CMakeLists.txt in project sources and configure CMake to be able to find
optional libraries (see cross compilation section for more information
about getting those). The result should be project for your compiler
where you should be able to work with it as with any other project.

More detailed and up to date information is maintained on the wiki:
http://www.gammu.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gammu:Compiling/installing_in_Windows

Borland toolchain - you can download compiler at
<http://www.codegear.com/downloads/free/cppbuilder>. You need to add
c:/Borland/BCC55/Bin to system path (or manually set it when running
CMake) and add -Lc:/Borland/BCC55/Lib -Ic:/Borland/BCC55/Include
-Lc:/Borland/BCC55/Lib/PSDK to CMAKE_C_FLAGS in CMake (otherwise
compilation fails).

From Sources - Mac OS X
=======================

Gammu should be compilable on Mac OS X, see wiki for up to date
instrucitons:

http://www.gammu.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gammu:Compiling/installing_on_Mac_OS_X


Cross compilation for Windows on Linux
======================================

Only cross compilation using CMake has been tested. You need to install
MinGW cross tool chain and run time. On Debian you can do it by apt-get
install mingw32. Build is then quite simple:

mkdir build-win32
cd build-win32
cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake
make

If your MinGW cross compiler binaries are not found automatically, you
can specify their different names in cmake/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake.

To build just bare static library without any dependencies, use:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake \
    -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
    -DWITH_MySQL=OFF \
    -DWITH_Postgres=OFF \
    -DWITH_GettextLibs=OFF \
    -DWITH_Iconv=OFF \
    -DWITH_CURL=OFF \

To be compatible with current Python on Windows, we need to build
against MSVCR71, to achieve this, libmoldname71 library is needed. It
will be hopefully part of next MinGW release, but for now you can build
it following way:

1. Get moldname.def.in from MinGW-runtime sources.
2. Get MinGW-runtime.
3. Execute following commands (crafted for Debian):

i586-mingw32msvc-ar x /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/libmoldname.a isascii.o iscsym.o iscsymf.o toascii.o  strcasecmp.o  strncasecmp.o wcscmpi.o
i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -DRUNTIME=71 -D__FILENAME__=moldname-71.def  -D__MSVCRT__ -C -E -P -xc-header moldname.def.in >moldname-71.def
i586-mingw32msvc-dlltool -k -U --dllname msvcr71.dll --def moldname-71.def --output-lib libmoldname71.a
i586-mingw32msvc-ar rc libmoldname71.a isascii.o iscsym.o iscsymf.o toascii.o strcasecmp.o strncasecmp.o wcscmpi.o
i586-mingw32msvc-ranlib libmoldname71.a

Information taken from <http://www.pygame.org/wiki/PreparingMinGW>.

Furthermore you need to change specs definition for GCC, on Debian you
can do this by editing /usr/bin/i586-mingw32msvc-gcc and changing line
where you can find -lmoldname (change -lmoldname to -lmoldname71 and
-lmsvcrt to -lmsvcrt71). Be careful not to change length of string!
There are enough spaces to remove.


Third party libraries
---------------------

The easies way to link with third party libraries is to add path to
their installation to cmake/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake or to list these
paths in CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH when invoking cmake.


MySQL
-----

You can download MySQL binaries from <http://dev.mysql.com/>, but then
need some tweaks:

cd mysql/lib/opt
reimp.exe -d libmysql.lib
i586-mingw32msvc-dlltool --kill-at --input-def libmysql.def \
    --dllname libmysql.dll --output-lib libmysql.a

reimp.exe is part of mingw-utils and can be run through wine, I didn't
try to compile native binary from it.


PostgreSQL
----------

You can download PostgreSQL binaries from <http://www.postgresql.org/>,
but then you need to add wldap32.dll library to bin.


Gettext
-------

For Gettext (internationalization support), you need
gettext-0.14.4-bin.zip, gettext-0.14.4-dep.zip, gettext-0.14.4-lib.zip
from <http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/>. Unpack these to same directory.


CURL
----

For CURL support, you need curl-7.19.0-devel-mingw32.zip from
<http://curl.haxx.se/>.


Testing
=======

Gammu comes with testsuite which should be run after build. You can do
this using 'make test'. CMake build system uses for testing CTest, which
also includes option to connect to dashboard and submit test results
there, so that they can be reviewed and fixed by others. To participate
in this testing, you need just to run 'make Experimental'. It will
compile current version, run tests and submit data to dashboard:

http://cdash.cihar.com/index.php?project=Gammu

There are some more options for testing:

- make ExperimentalMemCheck
    This checks memory accesses using valgrind during tests and submits
    report. You need to do this after 'make Experimental' and you can
    submit results using 'make ExperimentalSubmit'.
- coverage reports
    To get test coverage reports, you need to configure project using 
    'cmake -DCOVERAGE=ON'
- nightly testing
    Currently several machines do compile and test Gammu every night. If
    you want to tak part of this, just ensure that your machine executes
    test suite every night (preferably after 3:00 CET). You can select
    either 'make Nightly' to do regullar testing or 'make
    NightlyMemoryCheck' to test with valgrind. Also you can enable
    coverage tests as described above.
