Developing kmt sms functionality

[Stephen Kelly-3]

Hi.

I want to do some work on the sms functionality of kmobiletools. I've
compiled the svn version, and it makes available a 'Fake Engine'. When I
select the engine though the application crashes.

I had some trouble getting kmt to compile. I didn't want to compile all of
kdepim, so I did something like:

svn co kdepim
cd kdepim
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR

and then did a make install in kmobiletools, libkdepim, akonadi. I don't
remember exactly what I did. I think there was a few makeobj commands in
there.

What is the simplest way to get kmobiletools compiling and working for
development?

Steve.

Hey Steve,

nice to see you working on the sms part :-)
The way you compiled kmobiletools was the right one.You could save time
if you cd'ed into kmobiletools before building. Some additional time
could be saved if you created a soft link from the kmobiletools
libraries in $KDEDIR/libs to the libraries in the kmobiletools build
dir. Doing this saves you the install time.

Contact me in case of any problem or question.

Best regards
Matthias

Hi,

I compiled kmobiletools again (along with a lot of the rest of kdepim), and
still I get a crash when I select the fake engine. Is this a common crash,
or should I try to provide more info?

Is that what I need to do to get the sms part active so that I can code for
it?

Regards,

Steve.

Hi Steve,



I already noticed that bug while trying out some kde4 live-cd but

unfortunately I didn't resolve it.

So if you can provide a back trace or better a solution, don't hesitate :-)



Did you already start with the sms plugin?



Best regards

Matthias

I didn't resolve the issue either, but I've left it for the moment, and have
just read some of the SMS related code. Looks like it may need some work to
reach a functional state. I may try to rework it too so that it can use
alternative engines. I think at the moment it is tightly coupled with the
AT engine.

Is the original author of this stuff still active?

I have started some work on a new sms plugin for sending webtexts through
kross scripts. It is currently functional as a standalone prototype, and my
next task is to try and integrate it with kmobiletools stuff.


Kind regards,

Steve.
