The objective is to find out: is it possible to link -with Osmocom libraries, and thus avail ourselves of their awesome power, -*without* immersing ourselves in the cesspool of autotools? I (Mother Mychaela) -and autotools do not mix! +with Osmocom libraries. Most code in FreeCalypso and Themyscira queendom is +written in Ancient UNIX coding style, K&R C with zero dependencies, thus the +coding universe of Osmocom is very different - but there are certain tasks like +implementing a GSUP-interfaced SMSC where the need to use Osmocom libraries +becomes much stronger. This code repository is a playpen or playground for +implementing small custom programs that aren't Osmocom-traditional, but do need +to link with Osmocom libraries. -Addendum: the linking hurdle has been successfully cleared (see the hand-coded -static Makefiles in subdirectories of this tree), and the new work being done -in this tree is a prototype SMSC for testing the functionality of OS#6135. +The main item of interest in this repository is a prototype SMSC implementation +for the SMS-over-GSUP feature of Osmocom which the Mother is currently working +on in OS#6135 - see doc/Proto-SMSC-testing article.
