[Iaxclient-devel] is head broken?

From: John <st...@un...> - 2004-04-19 19:48:10

i was just working on patches for FreeBSD and ran across this from head.

I've been missing around with wxgtk so i'm not completely sure this isn't just
my issue (btw this is on FreeBSD). There are many more errors i just thought
i'd keep is small.

a complete list is up on

oops, sorry it was me. I was testing out compiling wxgtk without dynamic lib
support and things didn't go so well, afterwards i had left over libs. 

Everything is cleaned out and it compiles just fine now.

[Iaxclient-devel] Creating iaxclient .dll for Borland C++

From: Eloy D. <elo...@vo...> - 2004-04-21 10:21:04

Hi All,


I was wondering whether anyone has been able to successfully create
a win32 .dll file for Borland C++ enterprise developer, without altering
the iaxclient lib sources. If so, I would like to know how this was
achieved (project/unit settings, compiler/linker configuration).

I have been able to use iaxclientlib with some success in my IAX2 
softphone client, but I had to modify the iaxclient lib and various
other libraries (gsm, speex, portaudio), in order to compile/link them into
my application. Instead of this, I would prefer a cleaner interface 
between my application and the libiaxclient suite by compiling it into
a .dll (with typelib info). 

Any pointers or info will be appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
Eloy Domingos

Re: [Iaxclient-devel] Creating iaxclient .dll for Borland C++

From: Steve K. <st...@st...> - 2004-04-21 13:27:34

I think that several people are making DLLs from iaxclient, but they all 
use some kind of "glue" file to do it.

As I understand it, it should be relatively straightforward to make the 
iaxclient library functions available when compiled to a DLL (while also 
making sure it can still compile to a static library with different 
options).

The issue for some people (not for you), was that they didn't know how 
(or it may not be possible) to have Visual Basic access the union which 
we're currently using for events:

typedef struct iaxc_event_struct {
        int type;
        union {
                struct iaxc_ev_levels           levels;
                struct iaxc_ev_text             text;
                struct iaxc_ev_call_state       call;
        } ev;
} iaxc_event;

So, making the current API available to Visual Basic is problematic.  We 
could add a couple of simple C functions to do the casting necessary, 
though.  Basically something like this:

struct iaxc_ev_levels *iaxc_extract_levels(struct iaxc_event struct *s) {
    return &(s->levels);
}

etc.

This would allow VB programmers (I think) to get the union members 
without needing to figure out how to make VB access the union.

If we do this, though, I'd like input from the VB and other DLL users 
though, so we can make a solution that works for everyone.

RE: [Iaxclient-devel] Creating iaxclient .dll for Borland C++

From: Paulo M. <pa...@in...> - 2004-04-21 15:44:42

Hi All, I just spent yesterday compiling it under BC++ 6 and generating
a static library. 

The main issue that I encountered was that BC doesn't support arrays of
zero size, used in IAX.C to define the end of the IAX header. Other
issue was that some files in different directories have the same name,
which results in the linker disregarding the second file from the link.

Well ... The point is that we here like borland products very much. 

We could contribute with code snippets with some conditional compilation
for the borland platform.

Who should we send it to?

Yup, I had this problem too. I noticed I *could use* zero size arrays in
structures in C++ files (.cc). So, I decided to #include "iax.c" into a
IAXWrapper.cc file, and to my amazement it now compiles without error.
IMHO this is a Borland C flaw, but it has some considerable and undesirable
side effects...

Apart from the "zero size array within struct" problem, there were a great
many other issues, which prevented me from successfully compiling and linking
a .dll file which suits Borland C++. Problem with wrapping the files is that
you end up wrapping all files in a C++ wrapper, causing a whole bunch of other
errors. One problem which occurred often was C++ choking on less strongly
type-d code. Especially "illegal" pointer conversions, function prototyping
etc..

One reason for some problems which occurred could be that I may have faulty
preproccesing macros. I would like to know which macros you have suppied
to Borland C++ to compile your code.

As I said before, I have been able to compile and link the libiaxclient code
into my application, but I had to do a sh*tload editing on the libiaxclient
stuff (including gsm, portaudio and what not) before I could use it :-(

Somehow, I just feel the port should be possible without so much rework.
There should be a neater way of creating a Borland C++ project, comprising
of several .dll files (say one for each lib (gsm, speex, portaudio, portmixer,
libiaxclient), compiling only those files as C++ as needed by the "zero size
array in struct" problem and compiling the rest with C as would be normally
required.

This way, modifications would not be needed as newer versions of the libs 
are released.


Kind regards,
Eloy Domingos
