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
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 This was the first backend developed but has been superceded by the ModemManager backend so it may suffer from a lack of attention.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 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.
