I need help to build zfone from Linux source. As long as anybody is experienced with building and installing an open source software would be able to help. There is no installation instruction available. There is only tar file which I can untar. Then, I don't know anything. Should I just run install or make or what? I am using SUSE 10.

This zfone is a voip encryption filter and it makes all the voip call extremely secure. Even if anybody intercepts it nobody in the world can decrypt the calls made applying this filter.

Help will be appreciated.



Here is instruction that was provided:
Notes on how to build Zfone on a Linux platform
-----------------------------------------------
Zfone software is (c) Copyright 2006 Philip Zimmermann. All rights reserved.
Visit the Zfone home page at http://philzimmermann.com/zfone
That page also provides instructions for reporting bugs.

This software was developed by Ukrainian developers under contract with Phil Zimmermann. Portions of the software are from open source sources, notably David McGrew's libSRTP, and Brian Gladman's AES implementation.


For this beta release of Zfone, you must build it yourself from the source code for your particular Linux platform. We assume most Linux geeks can handle this. In a full release of the product, we'll provide separate pre-built binaries for various linux platforms.

Zfone was developed and tested on Gentoo Linux, using gcc 3.3.6.


Before installing Zfone you must add support of ipqueue and iptables into your linux kernel.

Kernel compile-time options:
CONFIG_IP_NF_QUEUE - for ipqueue support
CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES - for iptables support

After that, install iptables to /sbin/iptables (if you have iptables in another place - create link to /sbin dir.).

Then you must install libipq. At this moment libipq.h must be somewhere like /usr/local/include/lipipq/

Then follow these instructions:

1. Go to srtp-1.4.2-aes256ctr, follow instructions in INSTALL there (srtp mast be configured with --enable-aes-256 option)

2. Go to libzfone-1.0.0, follow instructions in INSTALL there

3. Go to zfone-1.0.0 and follow instructions in INSTALL there

If you are building from source, the most common procedure is as follows:

1) Untar the file ( lets call it xyz.tar.gz or xyz.tar)

tar xvzf xyz.tar.gz
or
tar xvf xyz.tar

2) Now change the directory

cd xyz


3) configure the source

./configure

(Note: if you do not have root previlege, you might wanna change the installation directory by passing appropriate parameters to the configure script (e.g. --PREFIX=/home/myname/xyz )

4) The configure script creates a makefile. Now you can start building the source with the following command

make


5) After building is over, run the following to install it either in the default path (needs root previlege) or in the directory you specified to the configure script.

make install


For details, read file named INSTALL or README in the xyz directory. If the installation procedure is different from the one I mentioned it will be mentioned in the README file.


As for iptables, it is usually preinstalled in any standard linux distribution. Make sure that the iptables kernel module is loaded (use lsmod to see all loaded modules, if not loaded, use insmod or modprobe to do so ).

Thank you for the information. I think that will help but I am stuck even before that on Kernel compile option. Could you help on this instruction please?

I already have SUSE 10 installed. How can I compile kernel again or is there a work around?

I realized SUSE free version doesn't come with source. So, I guees I can't compile the kernel. I have the disks for Gentoo Linux. Above instruction also says Zfone was developed and tested on Gentoo. I am going to give it a shot. If you are reading this right now please make suggestions on how to add support for ipqueue and iptables. I need to know when to apply those above given commands.
