<br>
from the repositories of ubuntu / xubuntu 14.04, Twinkle 1.4.2 VoIP client<br>
can be installed.<br>
<br>
Coming from Mandriva Linux, me and some colleagues are using Twinkle for<br>
years now, because it is one of the most sophisticated VoIP clients, and<br>
comes along with multi-line support and excellent speech quality.<br>
<br>
So there seems to be no alternative.<br>
<br>
Well, if you install this package, then unfortunately only the CLI version<br>
will work, and no graphical user interface will be started at all.<br>
<br>
Asking why in the ubuntu newsgroup, alt.os.linux.ubuntu, some people tried<br>
to state that Twinkle relies on QT v.3 libraries and is not compatible<br>
with higher versions. This is what I also had to realise when trying to<br>
compile it on Mandriva.<br>
<br>
But: Could Twinkle be compiled with statically linked QT-resources, so<br>
that it can be added to the repository as a fully working package, not<br>
depending on which QT libraries are installed?<br>
<br>
It's a great application and it would hurt a lot no longer having it.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help,<br>
best regards,<br>
