Aw. Why are you insulting yourself so much in this thread? It's okay to ask questions.

badly need to build and make this type of application (ex: fring, linphone) and i cant figure out where to start.

if i need to pay someone to build that app for me, deal on. (reasonable price ofc)

its a headache mate

As for the answer to these questions, I wouldn't know unfortunately. I just came to say you shouldn't call yourself dumb, just because you don't know something. Questions are made to be asked. They educate. I am more of a creative mindset than a technological innovator. I broadcast the bitcoin currency, so I found a way to become an asset to the community by being myself, really. After all, an existence has no substantial value if it is unnoticed by the public. You have to let people know about it to make profit off of it.

You should move this thread to technical support, if you want technical answers, and not imaginary psychologist bullshit.

The readme file of the project is actually quite helpful. You should read that.

based on the link i provided, which file is the source code?

There is not just one file which contains the actual code, but many. A cursory look over the project shows that the folders console, coreapi, and java all have source code. The codes is written in multiple languages it seems, since the project is for multiple platforms. Files with the .c extension are for C/C++ while files with the .java extension are for Java. Android uses Java.

what software to use to modify the source?

A simple text editor would do, but IDEs (integrated development environments) are better. I would recommend netbeans since it should work for all of the languages in the project.

how to compile it to an exe & apk afterwards?

On a linux system, follow the build instructions in the readme. On windows, follow the instructions in README.mingw.

thanks a lot man. thats great help. at least now i know where to start. cheers buddy

whoever is able to compile it in an .exe for desktop, apk for android and ios and also implement the webRTC, let me know your price.

i will escrow the amount and when you finish you send the escrow the files, links and whatsoever needs to be sent.

escrow checks, verify connection, verify working, notify me, and i make escrow release the funds.

Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition

NOTE : the interface should be different, graphical difference. else all functions should be the same.

Do you have access to an Ubuntu or Debian server?

If not, can you install VMware player, KVM or virtualbox?

Its late in my country, but if you didn't find anybody to help you by tomorrow morning, I'll see if I can give you some tips (I'm not an expert either, but I have compiled some progs on Linux in the past)

Hi, i've got a few more minutes before i'll give you some things to think about:

1) you want to use the sourcecode from github to compile this tool yourself, you even want to pay somebody to compile it for you... But you don't pay somebody to edit the sourcecode. If you're going to use unedited sourcecode, it might be a lot wiser to just download the binary distributions of this tool, if they are available ;-)

2) i would defenately install ubuntu or debian, since the full install procedure is clearly documented for ubuntu, and not for kali linux (ubuntu is free, and if you have vmware running, it won't take you long to install ubuntu on VM => caveat: make sure you allocate enough memory to your VM!!!

3) if you're thinking about editing the sourcecode, go to github.com, create a free acount, go to https://github.com/BelledonneCommunications/linphone and click on 'fork'. Afterwards, install git on your ubuntu (apt-get install git), go to your desired build directory and type in 'git clone http://theurltoyourfork.com'

4) after point 3, you now have the sourcecode on your VM. You can edit it with nano, vi, vim, gedit, jed,... if you want to...

5) it might be a good idear to try out the full build instructions for ubuntu, they're clearly outlined in the readme-file that is included in the sourcecode, and should now be on your VM after you've cloned the repo

6) i've successfully compiled windows exe's on ubuntu using mxe. It might be a good idear to find a small tutorial on this...

7) compiling the windows exe's on windows is not THAT hard, but i find it more difficult than compiling them on linux. If you want to compile them on windows, i would suggest you search this forum for "easywinbuilder". Don't execute the program, but read the .sh-files... If you understand how this guy builds bitcoin core on windows, you should be able to extrapolate how to compile something else ;-)


I know, these are just tips, nothing more nothing less... But like i said: it's late in my country and i'm tired... You can go ahead and try this out, if you have questions, i'll see if i can help you out tomorrow..

BTW: i'd rather help you build your own exe for free, than asking bitcoins to do this myself

PS: like i said: i'm no expert myself... I succeeded in building exe's before, but i give no guarantees i'll be able to help you build this tool...
