Serval DNA Build and Test

To build

Run the following commands:

autoreconf -f -i
./configure
make

Supported Targets

The Serval DNA code successfully builds for the following platforms:

• Debian Linux, ix86 and x86_64, kernels 2.6.x and 3.x, gcc 4.4 to gcc 4.7
• Android 2.2 “Froyo”, Arm, Linux kernels 2.6.x and 3.x, gcc 4.4 supplied as part of Android NDK Revision 7b
• Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion”, x86_64, gcc 4.2 available in Xcode 4 3.2.6
• Oracle SunOs 5.10 (Solaris), Sparc, gcc 4.4

Dependencies

The dependencies for build are expressed in configure.in. Most mandatory dependencies are present by default in a conventional Linux development environment.

Mandatory dependencies:

• standard C library libc and standard headers
• standard math library libm and headers <math.h> <float.h>
• network services library libnsl and headers
• socket library libsocket and headers
• dynamic link library libdl and header <dlfcn.h>
• Native Posix Threads Library libpthread and header <pthread.h>
• on Solaris, the realtime library librt (for the nanosleep() function)

Optional:

• Java compiler and SDK (mandatory for Android's libservald.so)
• ALSA sound library and headers (only present on Linux not Android)

Built artifacts

The build process produces the following artifacts:

• servald is the main executable.

• libservald.so is a shared library built only for Android, which is linked into the batphone Java executable at run time to provide the JNI entry points to servald.

• directory_service is the executable for the Serval Infrastructure daemon.

• libmonitorclient.a and libmonitorclient.so are libraries implementing the client end of the monitor interface with the servald daemon. They are linked into the batphone Java executable at run time and contain JNI entry points to functions for managing the client end of a monitor connection with the servald daemon.

Voice call test

If the following packages are present then ./configure will set the HAVE_VOIPTEST macro and build servald with its phone command available for performing voice call testing:

• Port audio
• Secret Rabbit Code (a.k.a. Sample Rate Convert) by Erik de Castor Lopo
• SpanDSP by Steve Underwood
• Codec2 by Dave Rowe of Rowetel

The Codec2 source code can be fetched using Subversion:

svn checkout https://freetel.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freetel/codec2 codec2

The following options can be used to control the HAVE_VOIPTEST macro:

• ./configure --enable-voiptest will set HAVE_VOIPTEST and fail if the necessary packages are not present

• ./configure --disable-voiptest will unset HAVE_VOIPTEST and will not check for presence of the above packages

Test scripts

The scripts in the tests directory require Bash version 3.2.48 or later. To run the tests, build the servald executable natively using GNU make, then invoke them manually:

./tests/config
./tests/directory_service
./tests/dnahelper
./tests/dnaprotocol
./tests/jni
./tests/rhizomeops
./tests/rhizomeprotocol
./tests/rhizomestress
./tests/routing
./tests/server

There are options to run tests concurrently for faster results, and to select subsets of test cases within each script. To see the options, give the --help option to any script:

./tests/server --help

The logs of the most recent test runs are under the testlog directory.
