Gammu lacks Windows builds for quite some time. I'm making source only release, which works fine on Linux or OSX, but I don't have any Windows system to produce Windows binaries. Also I lack experience with Windows toolchain to be able to do this effectively. Thus somebody else is needed to produce the Windows binaries. It should not be hard, the build system is ready, at most it will need some minor adjustments.

I am not sure whether MySQL/PostgreSQL support is present in my current configuration. If not, I will try to add this. The same with any other optional dependency.

I had to make two changes to the code (Armagetron/gammu@ee3ad0d). I have not tested whether they break compilation on other platforms. But if not, I can create a pull request.

If anyone wants to test my binaries, they can be downloaded from: https://armagetron.de/Gammu-64a0c94.tar.bz2
It may be possible that you need the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) for them to work.

Thanks, I think your changes look okay, I've just merged them.

I should add that these changes are for Visual Studio. If anyone wants to build with mingw, the *_s may not be present.

The build with MinGW is even less tested than the MSVC one (I've tested
MSVC myself some time ago, but some recent changes broke that)...

I was generated a Visual Studio 2015 project solution of Gammu 1.37.0 by using cmake, then bulid it with Visual Studio 2015. I open the gammu.sln and then rebuild the project called BUILD_ALL and wait several minute until done. I have nothing error, all is fine.

I just confuse how to replace old files (Gammu 1.33.0) with new one (compiled Gammu 1.37.0).

I got several executeable files and pkgconfig folder with files inside it from each project folders (inside of build folder in each project folders), then copying it into an old Gammu (1.33.0).

The result is, i cannot start the service.

These files was deleted and now i am using Gammu 1.33.0, so i am so sorry cannot give some of screenshoots.

I am stil remember, it generate an error mesage like this :

Error 0 : The service was started successfully
(failed to start gammu service)

Does the program start from commandline? If not, then there are some missing DLLs.

If it does start, then it's most likely problem with finding config file. Anyway this is a bit offtopic in this issue...

@anggalisdiyanto

It cannnot started from command line.
And from Windows's apps services.msc, when i start the service it generate an error message like this :

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

Sorry, but i got this URL's issue after i am ask about Gammu version on Windows from mailing list.
I think, i can discuss about it. Sorry again...

nijel commented Mar 4, 2016

And what's the error from the commandline?

@anggalisdiyanto
Copy link

Error 0 : The service was started successfully
(failed to start gammu service)

From Gammu's documentation, the Error 0 mean is nothing error refference to show.
But not problem, maybe i just using Gammu 1.33.0.
Or if Mr. Nijel did not mind, i will send an URL link of compiled folder here.

I meant without trying to use it as service, starting it directly.

Compiled files won't be any use for me, I don't have Windows ;-).

BTW: You can add bounty on this issue and that might motivate somebody to work on it (eventually it might even motivate me to learn how to do work with Visual Studio and related tools).

@anggalisdiyanto : Did you stop the service before copying the files? As @nijel already asked: does the compiled binary run directly from command-line?

In Visual Studio should be an "Install" target. This should replace the old binaries.

Thanks to AppVeyor I've set up CI solution for Windows. It also produces installer images. Current binaries are available here:

Testing is welcome as I'm doing this completely without Windows :-). Please let me know what is broken there or what is missing. Thanks!

More up to date build (with fixed several Windows specific bugs):

Testsuite now passes, so it should more or less work fine. Maybe some bundled libraries will be missing...

Hi Mr. Nijel.

I tried to compile gammu use cross compile from ubuntu to windows.
I successfully made gammu.exe and gammu-smsd.exe.
But I have not tried is successfully used because I wear a mysql database. Because I'm confused how to include MySQL backend service for windows.

Btw, gammu Installer for Windows version above does not include mysql.
I typed syntax gammu-smsd -v, backend service that appears only odbc
Please add mysql backend to the installer.
Thanks.

Hi @wehaye : You can install the ODBC driver for mysql.

nijel commented Oct 12, 2016

Neither MySQL nor PostgreSQL will not be natively supported in forseable future on Windows. The problem is that each official binary depends on different MSVC runtime and it's not possible to mix them. Also each of them link to different versions of other libraries leading to even bigger dll mess. The option would be to build client libraries ourselves, but that's really too much effort for something which can be solved by installing ODBC driver.

Yes, you are right.
The easiest option is to install the ODBC driver, and I've done. the results are successful. Both gammu.exe and gammu-smsd.exe can run normally.

I gave a little bit of information that if there are people who try to connect gammu-smsd using the ODBC driver ("gammu-smsd -i -c smsdrc" then "gammu-smsd -s -c smsdrc") and got an error message and fail, but when you try gammu-smsd run without install ("gammu-smsd -c smsdrc") succeeds, make sure that you create an ODBC connection via the "system DSN" not "user DSN".

Thank you very much sir Nijel

Can you please improve our ODBC documentation to cover all problems you've faced? It's in https://github.com/gammu/gammu/blob/master/docs/manual/smsd/odbc.rst

Thanks!
