# Calls
|
|
[](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/calls/commits/master)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
When running from the source tree you can use `CALLS_PLUGIN_DIR` environment
|
|
varible to specify the directroy from where plugins are loaded. To e.g. load
|
|
the dummy plugin from the source tree:
|
|
|
|
export CALLS_PLUGIN_DIR=_build/plugins/dummy/
|
|
_build/src/gnome-calls -p dummy
|
|
|
|
### 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developed but has been superceded by the ModemManager backend so it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.
