Obtaining SSIP-GST

There are two ways to obtain SSIP-GST Gaim plugin:

• Download a Release. Releases are tar.gz source packages and they have been tested to work in different environments. Download from here.
• CVS Checkout. This method is recommended only for developers interested in bleeding-edge updates.

  $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sofia-sip login
  
  $ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sofia-sip co -P ssip-gst

Installing

First the tar.gz release package needs to be extracted.

$ tar xvzf <ssip-gst package name>

$ cd <ssip-gst package name>

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

$ ./autogen.sh

$ ./configure

$ make

To build with GStreamer support:

$ ./autogen.sh

$ ./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
