Looking for any active Linpac (Linux based AX.25 Packet radio terminal) users

[David A. Ranch]

Hello Everyone,

I was curious if there are any active Linpac users here on the list. I
(somewhat) recently took over the project from the previous author and
have things working for my uses. I wanted to see what else active
packet users would like to see from this project. I'm also curious what
versions of code people are using if it's the Ncurses interface or the
Java interface.

http://linpac.sourceforge.net/

Linpac is a fantastic AX.25 terminal program and is very feature rich.
It supports multiple concurrent connections, easy Unproto (UI) traffic,
local email and FBB forwarding, etc. It's currently working on
Centos5/6 and Ubuntu so far and I'm looking for any and all help from
people who know aspects of:

- C++, Autoconf/Automake, socket programming, Ncurses, Java
- testers
- documentation


Give it a look and I have patches and .spec files ready to go:

Patches:

SPECS:

Hi David....i think i used it under Ncurses
documentation would be needed for the Java interface

Yikes! No maintainer since 2006! That is a bummer. If I had a little more time...maybe.

I will take a look at it, maybe freshen it up to build on ARM (tablets) and/or OS X (Macs).

Thanks for bring this bit of kit to my attention.

Hello John,

Which version do you have compiling on Ubuntu? I wouldn't mind having a
look.

I actually have BOTH versions compiling. The only Ncurses-only 0.17pre3
works very well (though is has some minor bugs). It's the 1.0pre3
server version either with the Ncurses or Java client that I'm currently
having issues with. I've captured the issue straces here:

http://www.trinityos.com/SCRATCH/Linpac/

Do you have a tarball anywhere with all your patches?

I can post some though I bet your issue is the missing compatibility
libraries as listed in my SPEC file. compat-gcc-34-c++

I understand that the vector.h errors should be avoidable w/o those
compatibility libraries and one of my posted patch files is supposed to
rectify the compile errors (commented out in the SPEC file).
Unfortunately, my patches for all this must be incomplete. I'd love to
have someone set me strait so I can remove those compatibility libs.

Give it a try with the compat libs installed and see if that works for you.
