# Calls A phone dialer and call handler. ## License Calls is licensed under the GPLv3+. ## Dependencies To build Calls you need to first install the build-deps defined by [the debian/control file](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/calls/blob/master/debian/control#L6) If you are running a Debian based distribution, you can easily install all those the dependencies making use of the following command sudo apt-get build-dep . ## Building We use the meson and thereby Ninja. The quickest way to get going is to do the following: meson -Dprefix=/usr/local/stow/calls-git ../calls-build ninja -C ../calls-build ninja -C ../calls-build install ## Running Calls has a variety of backends. The default backend is "mm", which utilises ModemManager. To choose a different backend, use the -p command-line option. For example, to run with the dummy backend and some useful debugging output: export G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all /usr/local/stow/calls-git/bin/calls -p dummy If using ModemManager, Calls will wait for ModemManager to appear on D-Bus and then wait for usable modems to appear. The UI will be inactive and display a status message until a usable modem appears. ### oFono There is also an oFono backend, "ofono". This was the first backend developed but has been superceded by the ModemManager backend so it may suffer from a lack of attention. The ofono backend depends on oFono Modem objects being present on D-Bus. To run oFono with useful output: sudo OFONO_AT_DEBUG=1 ofonod -n -d The test programs within the [oFono source tree](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ofono/ofono.git) are useful to bring up a modem to a suitable state. For example: cd $OFONO_SOURCE/test ./list-modems ./enable-modem /sim7100 ./online-modem /sim7100 Then run Calls: /usr/local/stow/calls-git/bin/calls -p ofono #### Phonesim One can also make use of the oFono modem simulator, phonesim (in the ofono-phonesim package in Debian): ofono-phonesim -p 12345 -gui /usr/local/share/phonesim/default.xml then, ensuring /etc/ofono/phonesim.conf has appropriate contents like: [phonesim] Address=127.0.0.1 Port=12345 run oFono as above, then: cd $OFONO_SOURCE/test ./enable-modem /phonesim ./online-modem /phonesim And again run Calls.
