=============================================================== README / SSIP-GST - a RFC3261 compliant SIP/SIMPLE Gaim plugin ===============================================================

Introduction

SSIP-GST Gaim plugin is an open-source SIP/SIMPLE plugin library, compliant with the IETF RFC3261 specification. It can be used with Gaim as a SIP client software for uses such as VoIP, IM and presence. Media support is integrated using GStreamer, and is merged from sofsip-cli command line example client for Sofia-SIP user agent library. SSIP-GST is developed on top of Sofia-SIP, which is based on a SIP stack developed at the Nokia Research Center. SSIP-GST plugin is licensed under the GPL. SSIP-GST aims to leverage features of the cool Gaim UI for Sofia-SIP library usage.

Requirements

Sofia-SIP library is needed before installing SSIP-GST. Please refer to README in Sofia-SIP package about installation. The latest release can be obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sofia-sip.

Required packages for audio support:

• alsa-utils (optional if using OSS)
• libasound2 (optional if using OSS)
• gstreamer0.8-alsa (optional if using OSS)
• gstreamer0.8-misc
• gstreamer0.8-oss (optional if using ALSA)
• gstreamer0.8-tools
• libgstreamer0.8
• libgstreamer0.8-plugins
• gstreamer0.8-gsm
• gstreamer0.8-rtp
• libgsm1

Quick start

SSIP-GST uses GNU autotools. To build without GStreamer support:

$ ./autogen.sh (if building from CVS) $ ./configure $ make

To build with GStreamer support:

$ ./autogen.sh (if building from CVS) $ ./configure --enable-gst $ make

There are two alternative installation options: $ make install-home and $ make install-plugin

The first option "make install-home" will install plugin to $HOME/.gaim/plugins. This is the normal action for non-root users.

The second option "make install-plugin" will install plugin to directory specified by configure flag --with-gaim-libdir and makes it possible to take plugin into use system wide. For example: $ ./configure --enable-gst --with-gaim-libdir=/apps/lib/gaim $ make $ make install-plugin
