I did a fresh install of debian 7.1 and centos 6.4 minimal. Then compiled latest stable kamailio from git, including mi_xmlrpc, xmlrpc and db_mysql modules. I observed bunch of warnings and missing declarations, which i have fixed in attached patch.

I will try out OpenSuse 12.3 and Fedora 19 later today and see if they are OK too with it. If there are any other distros i should test patch with, do let me know.

Thank you.

No, the patch does not update docs or Makefile. It just adds some ifdef to couple of header files which enables / disables or fixes the missing data structures. I am attaching patch here again for your reference.

The version xmlrpc-c installed my production is 1.35.99 which is i guess is git version.

ms11:/usr/src/svn-src# xmlrpc-c-config --version
1.35.99

However, i did test it with wheezy default xmlrpc-c version 1.16.33 on my test machine. Both of these are working with Kamailio v4.0.1 (by manual patching using attached file) and v4.0.4 (patch already included in git source).

I haven't tested it on CentOS yet, I will check that tonight.

Thank you.

Hello,

Did your patch update the module documentation too?
What about the module Makefile?

The module documentation for the devel branch states:
libxmlrpc-c3-dev version 0.9.10 or version 1.06.[10-30].

The module Makefile checks for these same versions and the build process is very noisy if you don't have one of these versions.

CentOS 6 (and CentOS 5) come with xmlrpc-c 1.16.24 and the latest version from SourceForge is 1.25.26.  The versions from the documentation are very old:
  • 0.9.10 is from 2001
  • 1.06.10 is from 2007
  • 1.06.30 is from 2008
I can't believe that the latest Debian is using versions of xmlpc-c that are five years or more old.  Incidently, the module in Git master won't build on CentOS at all.

Regards,

Peter

I send a patch last month which was i think has been merged to trunk and latest stable 4.0. This patch makes it compatible with newer versions of xmlrpc-c library. I tested myself with Debian 7.1 (wheezy).

And yes this patch is useful in a number of ways. For example I have been using it with openxcap to have xcap service running on different machine then sip service. I also have a few monitoring applications using mi_xmlrpc. Therefore, i would request to continue this module. I would be happy to provide any patches needed to keep it up to date with kamailio core and newer Linux distros.

Thank you.

Hello,

I was just looking at the dependencies for this and it requires a specific (and very old) version of xmlrpc-c to run.  Even CentOS (both 5 and 6) contain much newer versions of xmlrpc-c.

This leads me to suspect that no-one is using it on up-to-date systems, and if it is believed not to work with the versions of xmlrpc-c shipping today should it still be supported in Kamailio 4.1.0?

Regards,

peter
