IHU: QT3-based VOIP communication program |
|
http://ihu.sourceforge.net/
Quote: | IHU is a Voice over IP (VoIP) application for Linux (using Qt), that creates an audio stream between two computers easily and with the minimal traffic on the network. |
This has been compiled using qt3 libraries, so needs qt-3.3.8.pet. As well it requires jack, speex, ,libgmp.so.3.4.2 and libgmpxx.so.4.0.2. These last two are included in the ihu .pet.
Run via Menu->Internet->IHU
For usage, please refer to /usr/share/doc/ihu/manual.html.
N.B. Because qt-3.3.8.pet was compiled against openGL, this is also needed for IHU to work. Or, if you want to install the static version of IHU, which doesn't need openGL, jack, speex or QT3 libs, it's available here(2374kbytes): ihu-0.6.0.pet.

Which Puppys have the necessary Qt3 included by default?
I am for looking this -- or something that will do a simple point-to-point call like ihu does -- for Puppy 4.31-based installs. I have already had to install qt4-4.3.2.pet to support a static build of Opera.

Roy,
going on my memory...it was a while back...I think it needs qt-3.3.8.pet.
If you have no luck with this, can you post back & I'll try & work out what it needs?

Wow, muggins! I didn't expect such a quick reply!
I am in the process of moving, so will need a while to get things sorted out before trying this.
As a non-expert (read: dumb end-user), I have a small amount of fear that installing qt3 will break something in the later qt4 puppys (and running full installations, I cannot restore everything as quickly as I would necessarily like).
I'll try to report back when I can.
Thank you.
-Roy

No, installing qt-3.3.8.pet doesn't disrupt qt4.

Muggins, your link to the qt-3.3.8.pet doesn't work for me. There appears to be something wrong with the ibiblio server. Only part of its puppylinux index is working.

Flash,
can you try it again, as it worked for me 1 minute ago. Might be a temporary ibiblio problem?

The first image is the index. Note the question marks to the left of the file names. The second image is what I get when I click on the link.

That worked, at least to download the (3 MB) .pet file. We'll see what happens when I try to install it.

The qt-3.3.8 and ihu.pets appeared to install correctly. When I clicked on IHU VOIP in the Internet category, nothing happened. When I entered ihu in a console I got this:
Quote: | # ihu
ihu: error while loading shared libraries: libjack.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Flash,
yes, as mentioned by ttuuxxx, you need JAck & Speex. There are links to these in the first post.

As i use skype i have installed IHU on a computer running 431 and it appears to open up ok, a couple of libraries were needed so i used the debian ones i have on another computer and all seems to be ok.
All i need now is an ip address to call.

I have succesfully connected two of my computers on my local wireless network using IHU one running 431 and one running Quirky018, allowing port 1793 in the firewall was necessary to stop the call being rejected.
The missing libraries i used were debian ones from one of my other computers, no problems in either builds.
