Hello .. and questions about minisip

[Philippe Torrelli]

Hello list,

To begin with and comply to the netiquette here are a few word about me :

I’m working in France on a project involving a Sip Session Border
Controller, manageable from a http interface, that can communicate with a
sip-compliant PBX .
We would like to have a minimal soft phone  embedded in the web pages of our
GUI. 
So basically, I try to evaluate how much work – and how well it would work –
to use minisip as a base for a ‘minimal’ sip soft phone activeX .

Willing to learn what could be done starting from minisip, I compiled the
documentation, and the binary,  tried to figure out how to use the framework

 
And plan to experiment with the libminisip to have a better understanding of
how its subsystems communicate.... ( the documentation didn't make it
totally clear to me ).

I’m very early on this job, what I managed to do is cross compile the textui
version  2005 of minisip ( using the buildall_mingw32.sh script).
I then compiled version 2760 ; still text ui  , had to fix a few include
related to zrtp, and obtain a binary version totally not working. 
This was using build.pl + build.local script
 
The binary fails very early, It looks like it doesn’t load directsound
driver ?

Trying to figure out what’s happening, I realised that the revision had
bumped to 2765
 So I prefer to stay vague about the problems I faced when
compiling the 2760 version that is obsolete.

Hence, I’d like to know :
- Is rev 2760 textui supposed to work on win32 ? So that I know if I need to
fix something in the build.local / build environment, or if it’s not probant
).

- Are there revisions known to be stable on win32 systems ? Which one would
you advice me to check out ? 

- Does it make sense to start with textui version ie is it really a working
soft phone - or just more or less a debug aid / proof of concept ?

- Is someone already working on a similar project ? – or is there a win32
build environment available ? – I’m planning to try the build.pl system with
cygwin + mingw

Thanks in advance
