Topic: SME 6.0 & Jabberd 2.0 Project...

[Cruzer]

Summary of Project: INSTALL a CHATSERVER on SME 6.0 and customize / make an Addon for SME Contribs.

Developer: jabberd project
URL: http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/2/
License:  GPL
Platforms:  AIX, *BSD, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris, Windows
Version:  2.0s2
Language:  C
Description:  jabberd 2 is the next generation of the jabberd server. It has been rewritten from the ground up to be scalable, architecturally sound, and to support the latest protocol extensions coming out of the JSF.

LiNUX User of SME v6.0 needs YOUR HELP!
Contribs Team, you have been extreamly helpful in the past and I now need you again for project help! I have been revising, studying and reviewing this daemon called JABBERD. It has MANY GPL Clients for LiNUX, Windowz (freeware too). It allows you to host a full CHATROOM SERVER and IM Server Using Java and FLASH Clients to connect.

PROBLEM: I tried to configure (./configure) the source and receive many errors when running script. Here are some of the errors I'm seeing...
- Directory structure ( /usr/local/var does NOT exisit in SME 6.0) eh.. this can be fixed by manually created needed directories.. (I think)
- C Compiler errors (even with dev-tools installed)

If you would like the ADMIN / Installation Manual (PDF) I will post on my website ( http://www.cruzers.homeip.net ) for you to download and review its setup.

MY PLAN: Once i get this server setup to install / configure scripts like these.. I will (want to as well) compile a general RPM for SME 6.0 for you to use. Also, EVERYONE who helps and contributes will be advertised on the CLIENT SIDE (Coded in the java or flash client) as a THANK YOU for helping..

PROJECT BEING ASKED: Can you review the PDF, and see if you can get the JABBERD to install? And email your RESULTS to me (or here) to webcruzer@sympatico.ca.

** LETS MAKE HISTORY and combine the TALENTS of JABBERD with US (The Contribs Team (yes you)). Together we can make this a JOINT Effort in the LiNUX Community!!!!

Best Regards and THANK YOU for any and all your comments and Help..

Hi cruzer,

A quick test:

- Install dev-tools on 6.0.1-1
- Download latest jabber source
- Unpack jabber source in /usr/src
- Enter unpacked jabber directory
- ./configure
- make
- make check
- make install

Showed me that it compiles and installs just fine.

Trying to install jabber 2.0s4 on SME 6.01.

I downloaded and installed Dev-tools for SME 5.6. Can't find any for 6.01.

When running ./configure I get  C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check.

That's wrong and how do I fix it.
Please, if you can, give me very clear instructions because I'm not a Linux user.

Best Regards

Thanks!

Do I need to uninstall the old dev-tools? If thats the case, how?

If I don't, how to upgrade?

Can't see any nice install script. How do i install?

ehm! As you noticed I'm not a Linux user for sure.

[guest22]

1. Change into the directory containing the rpm's
2. rpm -Uvh --nodeps *.rpm
3. done

I never had any luck with Jabber and SME in the past.

I will test your one soon and let you know the results.
