TIP after you have installed cygwin, google for a script called create-devices.sh to install your ttys. And don't forget you have to select the gcc development tools in the cygwin setup - its not the default!!
BTW, cygwin is NOT a virtual machine. It is a POSIX portability layer. And Kannel actually runs quite well under it, esp good for using usb type modems, but I feel its multi-threaded behaviour is not quite as "dynamic" as it is under linux. AS every one says, its not production suitable, ie rely on it to traffic 1000s of msg/day. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rodrigo Cremaschi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Abhisek Mohanty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "kannel Users" <users@kannel.org> Sent: Saturday, December 09, 2006 5:58 AM Subject: Re: Windows Version > You will still be able to compile and run Kannel on your machine, using Cygwin. > I think Cygwin is able to access serial ports, so this is feasible. > Take a look at how to obtain & install Cygwin at http://www.cygwin.com/ > Then download Kannel source, compile, configure and run (this is not a > simple task, as you have to get your phone connected to your serial > port and recognised by Cygwin). > Browse the Kannel mail archives to see what problems you may find in > the process. > Regards! > > On 12/8/06, Abhisek Mohanty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Thanks again Rodrigo > > > > But the real problem dat lies with me is that i am using windows for my > > project.And as mentioned by u in ur prior mail i cant use kannel for the > > purpose.Thats really dissapointing. > > Well all that u said regarding fakesmsc or using a GSM phone in my USB port, > > requires Kannel to be installed.Can I do all dat by installing the Kannel in > > a Linux "virtual machine" ? > > > > Regards > > > > Abhisek Mohanty > > Information Technology Dept. > > KIIT-DU,Bhubaneswar > > 0-9337295074(M) > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > > From: Rodrigo Cremaschi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: Abhisek Mohanty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Cc: kannel Users <users@kannel.org> > > Sent: Friday, December 8, 2006 10:40:01 PM > > Subject: Re: Windows Version > > > > > > Hi Abhisek, > > > > Kannel works as an ESME (that is, a client). > > As an SMSC (server) you can use: > > > > 1) A real SMS service, provided by a phone operator (this will cost > > you money, and I suppose you don't want to spend $$$ on it) > > > > 2) Fakesmsc, which is an utility provided with Kannel, for testing the > > bearerbox and smsbox.
