Compiling smsd on ubuntu feisty

Fyuh.. after tried for 2 days.. finnaly my smsd is running. For you who doesn’t know what smsd it was. It is a daemon (an application always runing on linux) use to check and pick sms message from your cellphone (Nokia Cellphone), and put it to your database.  Here the step- by step how to compile it.

1. For the very first time you must have Gnokii  installed correctly (visit the link beside if you doesn’t know what h**l it is )

2. You must have a MySQL installed correctly. We will be use this to save our sms on the database. Check this link how to install it

3. Ok after your’ re completed all condition above, now we start installing smsd. For the first time switch to the directory where is your smsd source located.

cd smsd

3. Type “make”

4. If some error occur like ” make: *** [mysql.lo] Error 1″, please install  libmysqlclient15-dev_5.0.38 if u are use feisty (find appropriate version for your own ubuntu)

5. After all error fixed, just type “make install” and when everything goin fine you’ll see a message that smsd is installed

To pick and save your SMS from your cellphone to the database, use this following code

smsd -m mysql -u root -d sms

and ….. you’ll see a pretty smsd picked up u’r sms one -by-one to your database….

Ok.. just like that.. if you got any question just gimme your comment.

at the end ….pardon my English
