About Me
Ahh... Nothing like a rainy Saturday to get in the mood for some tasks that were delayed for too long!
ALEXANDRE
As I was getting ready to watch the soccer match between FC Porto (my team) and Oliveirense, at Oliveirense's MENDONÇA

stadium, the referee decided that there were no conditions (really bad pitch, also due to the rain) for the game to LISBOA, PORTUGAL

happen... well, I had to do something... :-) Alexandre is a member

of the JBoss Research &
Development (R&D) core team
Installing Seagull (the network traffic generator, useful for my Diameter tests) in my iMac was one of those tasks
currently working on the open
that I could never find the time, and today it seemed a good day. I knew it was not going to be a simple task, as

I've tried sometime ago to install (ie, build from source) under Ubuntu or some other Linux distro and never made Mobicents, mostly involved in
it... but I didn't tried hard either, as there are RHEL/Fedora binaries I just setup a VM with it. JAIN-SLEE and Diameter
development.

OK.. So, first step was to look for someone who had already done the job... couldn't find any, seems like Mac's Alexandre graduated in Computer

The INSTALL.TXT has some instructions on how to build it... the commands to run. I'll do it as I like to: run until it PROFILE
crashes and see what's wrong after. First instruction is:

MOBICENTS MEETING @
Checking the referred y.tab.c I've checked it declared those methods only if some vars (__linux__ OR ANTALYA
__CYGWIN__) were declared. This should be some compiler info as my friend grep didn't found any reference 10 months ago

on the seagull sources. Googled a little bit and just found what it was and so I checked it should be __APPLE__
for my system.

A previous message showed that this y.tab.c file was being generated and, so, with the help of grep I managed
to find out that it came from ./xml-parser/xml_definition.y, at line 38. Changed

#if defined(__linux__) || defined(__CYGWIN__)

to

#if defined(__linux__) || defined(__CYGWIN__) || defined(__APPLE__)

It was almost there... got the binary seagull already linked in the ./bin folder! Good news, but still some required
lib is failing to link:

[Linking /Users/ammendonca/Desktop/seagull/build-1.8.1/libtrans_ip.so]

Boooring! Thought this could be it... so much work and now some weird linkage error was going to throw it all
away. Well.. can't give up, tried some own ideas... then went googling, nothing much useful, every linkage error
seems to have this same output.

Since it referred main, started looking for it.. no sign of it in the files being linked. Hmm.. that makes sense, it's a
library, why would it need to have a main anyway? After checking the flags being used for compilation, just found
out this one for compiling a library was not present: -dynamiclib

So I added it to BUILD_LIB_LD_FLAGS_DARWIN in ./build.conf which now looked like this:

BUILD_LIB_LD_FLAGS_DARWIN="-shared -fPIC -dynamiclib"

Yeah! Everything worked just fine! The install was completed successfully and all the binaries were in the bin
folder. Hurray!

This was a lengthy journey but in the end it was fruitful.. as always, when it works ;-) Seagull v1.8.1 running on
Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Leopard)!

Notes:
1. Apple Dev Tools are required to be installed prior to any of this being made. They can be found in the
Install DVD;
2. I had to run the commands with "sudo" as it required permissions for some operations;
3. Optionally you can run "./install.ksh" to copy Seagull binaries and config files as suggested in
INSTALL.TXT and perform the remaining actions, if needed.

Please let me know if this has been useful for you and/or if something is inaccurate. This has been tested against
Seagull 1.7.0 and 1.8.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.6 (Leopard).

hi,

this post has been useful for me on windows 7. In build.conf, I copied the *_CYGWIN_5_1 variables to *_CYGWIN_6_1
and it worked. I had to install mksh (make a symlink to /bin/ksh manually), bison and flex on cygwin and it worked. I did
not have those link errors.

Thanks for sharing.

Your post was a big help. I am trying to install Seagull 1.8.2 on OSX 10.6.8. I ran into the following errors. You must
have a different environment such that you have the gnu libraries. I have not had any luck finding the libraries.

./octcap_include/OC/oc_config.h:47:47: error: features.h: No such file or directory

./octcap_include/OC/oc_config.h:48:20: error: endian.h: No such file or directory
