Has anyone else tried to build libventrilo3 (not the full Mangler system) on the iPhone?

I was able to build something of a version of libventrilo3 (version 1.0.3) successfully (hard to define "success"), but have yet to learn how to design an interface for it. I have an absolute hatred for XCode, as it's a pain in the ass for trying to get everything linked together in Objective-C (when one has never been trained in using it…)

I have uploaded the directory containing the full project, including the built versions of libventrilo3.a in the build/Release-iphoneos directories, to mediafire. If anyone wants to take this up and continue it, please do… I can't stand working alone on this…

I might call this a failed attempt, but I want someone to at least have a head start on it. My best guess would be to use libventrilo3.a after compiling the newer version of it (you'll probably have to add celp support if you overwrite the libventrilo3 files with the newest version in the svn checkout). To use it on the iphone, just add the include files for libventrilo3 (and you might need libgsm, libspeex and libcelp includes) and just call the v3_login() and helper functions. One thing that you'll need to find out if you do want to work on it is how to relate the audio data with CoreAudio. Somehow it should be easy, but I'm not sure how…

I've uploaded the file to my mediafire account, but I don't know how long mediafire holds files. I might work on this in the future, but maybe someone else will have a breakthrough with it. I've heard there is little chance of making a verified application for the app store using libventrilo3 and the GPL, but maybe there's a loophole, or someone might have just been giving me a hard time.

Yep, I was on IRC talking about how to try and get the system up and running. I just felt I might as well leave a post here as well. I tried to get it working, but I can't make interfaces worth a damn. That and linking Objective-C directly to C code left a lot of holes…. (undefined size of arrays, cannot reference structs properly, etc…)

I may try again one day, but I thought if anyone else wants to try, the code is here. Only differences for this code compared to the svn stream is that XCode mangles the locations for headers, so instead of gsm/gsm.h, it had to be <gsm.h> (same with speex). Definitely DO NOT use the headers and files in this for the SVN. It could cause major headaches later on. It's just to see whether an iPhone application "could" possibly be made as of now.

You were able to get it to work without changing any of the codebase for mangler or libventrilo?

If you were able to get the gtkmm interface to work with it, I'll have to retry building it again, a bit more systematically than I did before.

Yeah…

I'll have to aim towards just using libventrilo3 and creating some kind of interface. At least all of the work is taken care of by the libventrilo3 static library and the includes. Just need to wallow through the interface ~_~.
