Hi Alain,
The Linux Mint install is, as you know, 3.6.1, or something like that. I also use Linux Mint. I could install 4.1.1 using flatpak but in the end opted to build linphone-desktop. The flatpack method was slightly different than what is described on Linphone tech info page. There may be some dependencies to install (i didn't note everything down) but here are the steps that i took:
install flatpack with:
sudo apt-get install flatpak
then:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub
https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak --user install --from
https://linphone.org/flatpak/linphone.flatpakref
You can then run Linphone via the Mint menu. Checking the properties of the launcher, you can run linphone/linphonec/linphonecsh/linphone-daemon via the command line with lines such as:
flatpak run --branch=4.1.1 --arch=x86_64 --command=linphone
--file-forwarding com.belledonnecommunications.linphone
flatpak run --branch=4.1.1 --arch=x86_64 --command=linphonec
--file-forwarding com.belledonnecommunications.linphone
get help
flatpak run --branch=4.1.1 --arch=x86_64 --command=linphone
--file-forwarding com.belledonnecommunications.linphone --help
I had never used flatpack before. I you haven't either, be aware that it is separated from your standard file system and saves it's binaries/data/config files, etc. in locations such as ~/.var/app , ~/.config/linphone/ , ~/.local/share/flatpak/app
perhaps other places....
In the end, with the help of Giang on this list, I did the following to build 4.1.1 - and quoting Giang:
qtcontrols2-5-dev
qml-module-qtquick-dialogs
qml-module-qtquick-controls
qml-module-qtquick-controls2 (perhaps previous wasn't necessary)
qml-module-qtquick-layouts
qml-module-qtquick-window2
qml-module-qt-labs-platform
Once you do the config and build steps in the README, and assuming you created a build directory called "build" and cloned the repo in your home directory, the Linphone binaries can be found here:
~/linphone-desktop/build/OUTPUT/bin/
Good luck!
Iain
I am used to use the software manager in Linux Mint to install new softwares but, what is the command line to type to install the latest version of Linphone (the 4.1.1) in Linux?
Thank you for your help.
