Skype Call Recorder

Compiling instructions

In order to compile Skype Call Recorder, you will need the following prerequisits:

• A C++ compiler (usually this will be g++)
• make
• cmake, at least version 2.4.8
• Qt 4, at least version 4.3, including D-Bus support
• libmp3lame (liblame)
• libid3 (id3lib)
• libvorbisenc (usually comes with the package libvorbis)
• The development packages for the above libraries, in case they are separate (i.e. libqt4-dev, liblame-dev, libvorbis-dev, etc)

Please read the help resources for your Linux distribution if you're not sure about how to satisfy these prerequisits. Then proceed as follows:

# unpack the tarball

tar -xzvf skype-call-recorder-0.8.tar.gz
cd skype-call-recorder-0.8

# compile

cmake .
make

# install (as root)

make install

You may omit the installation step if you don't want to install it system-wide (in /usr/local/bin/ by default). In that case, you can start it directly out of the build directory, or manually move it to ~/bin/ or anywhere else.
