Hello,
I just downloaded and installed puppy roaring 3.8.7 and tried to install
program 'sflphone-client-gnome' from roaring repository. It has instlled
but unfortunately with version 1.1 and I really need 1.2 (has auto answer
enabled and is available from Linux Mint 14 repository or by adding extra
repository from maintainer). I also noticed
there is an error when I try to run it so I can't even dial. There are no dial
numbers because of this error. Other sofpthones sucks (ekiga, linphone
...). This sflphone is the best.
So can we make it to be in runable state in roaring puppy and somehow
add its 1.2 version ?
Regards,
Uros

Never heard of sflphone but most SIP clients don't really work all that well in Puppy, I've had good success with Twinkle (though I don't believe it's maintained anymore) and some sucess with Linphone which I belive is pretty nice. However, the main SIP client/softphone used on Puppy is PSIP (Puppy SIP client) which I don't know if it's in Upup Raring by default like most other Puppys since I haven't tried it out yet.

Upup Raring does have PSIP Puppy Phone.
The core of SFLphone is pjsip/pjsua which is the same as PSIP.
The GUI of SFLphone is designed for Gnome (or KDE) and is not ideal for Puppy. We don't have Gnome Icon Theme and there will be lots of dependencies and other headaches.
I installed it from PPM in Raring with all the dependencies and it did run and I could make calls, but there were a few problems. It stored some settings but not my SIP account data. On re-start that was gone. There is no video enabled.
I have managed to compile the latest version (1.2.2) from source in Precise Puppy but still not with video enabled (that needs more stuff tracking down) and it still has the same problems of settings not saved and icons missing. The package with everything included would be very big and it makes no sense.
If the AUTO ANSWER facility is important to you I believe it may be possible to simply add a line to the config file or the launcher script of PSIP to activate this. From the command line in pjsip it is just --auto-answer=200, but will investigate and report back unless someone knows for sure how to do it.

I have compiled version 1.2.2 from source now and have managed to get video enabled. I have also included OPUS codec and ilbc codec and g729 codec. If you want to take a look and don't mind installing all the dependencies then here is what to do.
This is for Precise Puppy. Sorry but it doesn't work in Raring (which is still a very experimental Puppy anyway).
Using PPM with "find" - "examine dependencies" - "download and install":-
1) Install sflphone-gnome with all the dependencies
(This will be the earlier version, don't bother running it)
2) Install libclutter with all dependencies
3) Install libclutter-gtk
4) Install gnome-icon-theme with all dependencies
Then install this .PET which upgrades to Version 1.2.2 with the new features and auto-answer (which I did test and it worked).
SFLphone 1.2.2 precise .pet
download = http://www1.datafilehost.com/d/1bb30410
md5sum = 5499db2c2d964d2d7adae12eacebbf66
Test it out and report any findings.
I might try and do one for Raring later if you are desperate.
