Previous notes had kdelibs-devel.. since it went missing, I’m installing it the hard way..

apt-get install libacl1-devel libart_lgpl2-devel libattr1-devel libavahi-client-devel libavahi-qt3-devel libaudiofile0-devel libjack-devel libmad0-devel libpcre0-devel libresmgr1-devel

Stuff to install the hard way:

None of these were found on rpm.pbone.net.. so I’d have to track each project down myself. Sigh.

twinkle takes forever to compile. But it all works right out of the damned box. Amazing.

(date not recorded), earlier than 2007-05-30 – 1.0 ∞

apt-get install libsndfile1-devel libqt3-devel libspeex1-devel libboost1-devel kdelibs-devel

libqt3-devel doesn’t exist. Trying libqt4-devel

apt-get install libsndfile1-devel libqt4-devel libspeex1-devel libboost1-devel kdelibs-devel

kdelibs-devel doesn’t exist..

So maybe I have to use a different repository.

This attempt has failed.

Twinkle was, by far, the most arduously dependent-heavy application I’ve ever touched.

And it works. It damned well works. Well. Holy crap.

apt-get install libsndfile1-devel libqt3-devel libspeex1-devel libboost1-devel kdelibs-devel
  • libqt3-devel influences a large list of other applications. =/
  • Boost and its dependencies are 47MB. =(

  • kdelibs-devel is quite influential as well.

This needs an additional installation, for ccrtp:

apt-get install openssl-devel

ccrtp seems a bit grumpy. I had to make install it a second time.

Dunno.. it doesn’t seem to work.

Early notes ∞

Requires Qt for open source (3.3.0 or later, but not Qt4). However, it’s not available, even in their archives.

I looked harder, and found ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/ and I think qt-x11-free-3.3.7.tar.gz is what I want.. but I found something which might work from the PCLinuxOS repository.

Usage ∞

Twinkle and Kaddressbook ∞

Kaddressbook Script-Hook for Twinkle:

twinkle  --call %N
twinkle  --immediate --call %N

Twinkle and a clipboard helper ∞

(xclip)

twinkle --call `xclip -o`

  1. Hi spiralofhope,

    whoever you are (not) ;),

    your remarks about Twinkle and Kaddressbook are *** EXACTLY *** what I was searching for a bloody while this evening because I simply couldn’t find any docs about kaddressbook’s external script-hooks.

    So you’re my hero, at least for today :-)

    BTW: Where did YOU find this piece of information that %N is a variable for the phone #? Any existing docs I’ve missed?

    So thank you very, very, very much for sharing parts of your brain with us,

    kind regards,
    Michael

    • I’m glad to hear you’ve found some use out of my old notes.

      I have no idea where I got %N from. I don’t recall that it was an adventure to learn that. Perhaps my VoIP provider had usage notes.
