Kopete Jabber Jingle

About Jingle support in Kopete Jabber plugin.

Current status

Voice calls between two Kopete clients or between a Kopete client and a Psi client are possible. Voice calls between a Kopete client and Google's gtalk are also possible.

Anyway, the support is experimental, and can lead to crash if something goes wrong. This is why it is not enabled by default in the stable release.

Please note that the development is currently on hold.

Download

This is included in the Kopete 0.12 releases. get it from http://kopete.kde.org/releases.php You need to add the --enable-jingle flag to the compilation to enable it.

Required Dependencies

Introduction of libjingle require new dependencies to Kopete. Here the list:

oRTP 0.7.1 Any version other than0.7.1 will not work!
expat
glib-2.0 (if you don't have it already for MSN webcam)
speex (>=1.1.6 or 1.0.5 (the versions that have speex_encode_int ))

Optional Dependencies

iLBC

Unofficial packages and other build tips

Unofficial and unstable Fedora Core 4 packages of oRTP and speex can be found here. Unofficial builds of kde-network for Fedora Core 4 with this branch of kopete can be foundhere.

On Mandriva 2006, you could have problems with oRTP : ./configure will not find the library. If you are using bash, you must enter :

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

before ./configure

Concerning SUSE (10.0): glib-2.0 might be in a different location as well (e.g. /opt/gnome/lib). Add this path to PKG_CONFIG_PATH as well.

Todo list

Make libjingle compile in Kopete source

Finish configure checks.

Fix crashing when asking for a voice conversation. (It doesn't reject the call anymore, but a crash can still happen)

Trying a voice conversation using imported Psi classes.

Implement Entities Capabilities support JEP-0115

Remove imported Psi classes and use our own.

Starting to replace some components of libjingle.

Port to libiris native tasks

Etc....

Future: For KDE4

Evaluate if Phonon is suitable for our needs.
