A long circuitous path, but in the end — sucess!
Started off with darwinports, but that only got us 0.6.8 (current as of this writing was 0.6.27).
Then tried Fink. That got us up to 0.6.13
dating
Tried that version agains a LG phone. It wrked, but the LG phonewasn’t a GSM phome, and thus didnt understand the extended GSM (Ahyes) AT command set. So, no recovery of SMS messages.
Switched to Nokia 6085 phone. Tried 6510 and series40 drivers. Connected just fine, seemed to better understand the –getsms message, but spit out a bunch of errors — and no SMS messages.
Student Jacob was able to quicly install 0.6.27 on a Denebian system, connect to phone via USB, and recover a trial SMS message, all of which suggested we really needed a newer verion on the Mac. Further resaerch suggested that by enabling “unstable” trees of FInk archives and CVS/rsync Source Distributions, we could get version 0.6.26. (http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/gnokii)
This required these steps from Fink FAQ:
run fink configure, answer Yes to “turn on untsable trees”
run fink selfupdate-rsync; fink index; fink scanpackages
then finally
fink install gnokii
Which now told me I needed somethink like 87 prerequisites. Ok, said I. Just do it.
It did, then choked on gtk. But it suggested
You are attempting to build gtk+2 with version 3.1 of Xcode, which
requires an update to your installed version of X11. Please download
and install X11 2.3.0 or later fromhttp://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.3.0
Once you have installed X11 2.3.0, please re-attempt installation of
this package gtk+2.
Hmm. Hadn’t even installed Apple’s X11 yet. So first, I grabbed a Leopard install disk and installed X11. Then I manually got the X11 2.3.0 package installer, installed that. Rebooted. ran fink selfupdate, fink update, and GTK complied. Ran fink install gnokii, and low and behold, gnokii 0.6.26 was alive and well. tested with gnokii –identify and then the all important gnokii –getsms IN 1 1, got the SMS message. Sweet success.
Next step was to rempile the GSMI::Gnokii perl interface. See http://www.agouros.de/gnokii/. Need the “Beta-Test” versions. Had to define GNOKII_DIR with “export GNOKII_DIR=/sw”. Then edit Makefile to remove the “-arch ppc” loader directive.
GSMI mostly works. Do be sure to initialize hash arrays before using. Lot’s of error messages dumped, but in the end — stuff works. here’s a sample:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use GSMI;
use Data::Dumper;
my $smshash={};
my $smscounthash={};
$gsm=GSMI->connect("driver=Gnokii;device=00:22:65:ef:7e:25;options=model:series40,connection:bluetooth,initlength:1,use_locking:no");
$gsm->GetSMSStatus($smscounthash);
print Dumper($smscounthash);
$gsm->GetSMS("IN", 1, $smshash);
#print Dumper($smshash);
print "Message from phone=".$smshash->{'text'}."n";
$gsm->disconnect;
exit;
and outputs…
