Building ircDDBGateway

Windows

To use the ircDDB Gateway software you will first need to build the latest version of wxWidgets (http://www.wxwidgets.org), the version I used was 3.0.4. I also installed it in the default location which is C:\wxWidgets-3.0.4.

For compiling I use Visual C++ 2017 Community Edition downloaded from Microsoft for free. I recommend that you use the same.

To build wxWidgets, you simply need to open Visual Studio 2017 using the File -> Open -> Projects/Solutions and load the wx_vc12.sln file to be found in wxWidgets-3.0.4\build\msw directory and then go into Batch Build and select the DLL Debug and DLL Release entries for every one, this take a little time! Then build them.

The path names for wxWidgets are embedded within the Solution and Project preferences, and will need changing if anything other than these default locations are used. The first pass through the compiler will no doubt tell you all that you need to know if there are problems.

Once you have built the executables, you will need to copy the correct wxWidgets files to the same location as the executables. For 32-bit systems these are wxbase30u_vc_custom.dll, wxmsw30u_adv_vc_custom.dll, and wxmsw30u_core_vc_custom.dll. On 64-bit systems you'll need wxbase30u_vc_x64_custom.dll, wxmsw30u_adv_vc_x64_custom.dll, and wxmsw30u_core_vc_x64_custom.dll

If you are running in debug mode then the required wxWidgets files have the names xxx30ud_xxxx instead. These can be found in the wxWidgets-3.0.4\lib\vc_dll directory.

It is also probable that you'll need to install a copy of the latest Visual C++ run-time libraries from Microsoft, if you are not running the gateway software on the same machine as the development/compilation was done on. You can find the latest versions at https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

Linux

You need to ensure that wxGTK is already installed on your machine.

Debian, Ubuntu:

sudo apt install libwxgtk3.0-dev

Fedora, CentOS, RedHat:

sudo dnf install wxGTK3-devel

To install them from scratch, you need to get wxGTK from http://www.wxwidgets.org. If you do a "make install" on it then they'll be installed in the right places and nothing more needs to be done.

To actually build the software, type "make" in the same directory as this file and all should build without errors, there may be a warning or two though. Once compiled log in as root or use the sudo command, and do "make install".

You can optionally specify some make variables to alter the default behavior:

Parameter Default Description
BUILD debug debug or release
TARGET not set when set to opendv, installs files in legacy locations
DATADIR /usr/share/ircddbgateway where AMBE voice and host lists are kept
LOGDIR /var/log location of log files
CONFDIR /etc location of configuration files
BINDIR /usr/bin program binaries installed here
DESTDIR not set destination for staged build

Example

cd ircDDBGateway
make -j4 BUILD=release CONFDIR=/etc/dstar
sudo make install

This would build and install all the programs in this repo using 4 threads (parallel build jobs), in release mode (no debug symbols) with a modified configuration directory.
