Fedora Core

Fedora Core

• Recommendations for installing the OS
• Installing sipXecs on Fedora
• New sipXecs project release area
• Fedora Live CD for sipX
• Developers:
  • Setting up a development environment
  • Building from source
  • Building dependencies - only if your platform is not prebuilt
  • Building RPMs - only if your platform is not prebuilt and you want to redistribute your binaries

64-Bit

64-Bit

sipXecs main (release 3.9 / 3.10) has been ported to 64-bit / x86-64. The source is still in a separate branch available here. We are looking for testers as we would like to merge this branch back into main. Binary builds are not yet available, so you will have to build it yourself. Recommended distribution is Fedora or CentOS.

sipXecs 3.9 / 3.10 has also been ported to PowerPC (ppc) to run on both 64-bit and 32-bit.

Gentoo

Gentoo 2005.1 / 2006.0

The same pcre issue that prevents a successful port to OpenSuSE also plagues the Gentoo port. Apache 2.2 is now available in ~x86 and with that both sipX 3.4 and 3.6 emerge successfully.

Solaris

openSolaris

A binary distribution for Solaris is not yet available, but considered. If you would like to help, please say so on the sipX dev mailing list. Estimates indicate that by moving to the Sun SPARC T1 processor, a three fold increase in performance of the media subsystem of sipX could result.

Sun Solaris 10

Work towards a Sun Solaris 10 port has started. If you'd like to help, please say so on the sipx-dev list.

FreeBSD

FreeBSD

sipXecs release 3.6 has been ported to FreeBSD and is available from the official FreeBSD ports collection under ports/net/sipx... For sipXecs release 3.9 / 3.10 a large number of FreeBSD patches have been accepted into the main sipXecs code base, enhancing overall portability.

Mac OS X

Apple Mac OS X

A binary distribution for Mac OS X is not yet available. If you would like to create one, please say so on the sipX dev mailing list.

Windows

Windows Server 2003

Yes, even Windows! A binary distribution for Windows is not yet available. If you would like to create one, please say so on the sipX dev mailing list. The sipXtapi SIP client SDK works on Windows XP as well as Mac OS X. Since it is based on many of the same libraries, a port to Windows would be quite possible.

VMware

Note: Images are typically configured for dynamic IP address assignment (DHCP). sipX might experience difficulty with setups that are not based on a fixed address where the hostname properly resolves in DNS. You therefore might want to assign a fixed address before using.
