Installing the binaries

This is the commands to create the folders and copy the files to the right place.

mkdir -p /sms/{outgoing,checked,incoming}
mkdir /usr/local/bin/
cp init.d/sms3 /etc/init.d/sms3
cp config/smsd.conf /etc/smsd.conf
cp bin/smsd /usr/local/bin/smsd
cp scripts/* /usr/local/bin/

Guide to compiling

This is the guide that i follow to compile the software when there is a update. You need a SD-card connected to your Omega2 to be able to compile the software as gcc taked some space.

Follow the guide to mount your SD-card as a overlay: https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/boot-from-external-storage.html

As gcc is not part of the normal repos you need to add a new repo to your /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf. Uncomment like 2 and 5 and add the following line last in that file src/gz omega2_test http://repo.onion.io/omega2/test/packages.

#src/gz reboot_core http://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01-SNAPSHOT/targets/ramips/mt7688/packages
src/gz reboot_base http://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01-SNAPSHOT/packages/mipsel_24kc/base
#src/gz reboot_onion http://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01-SNAPSHOT/packages/mipsel_24kc/onion
## src/gz reboot_luci http://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01-SNAPSHOT/packages/mipsel_24kc/luci
src/gz reboot_packages http://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01-SNAPSHOT/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages
## src/gz reboot_routing http://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01-SNAPSHOT/packages/mipsel_24kc/routing
## src/gz reboot_telephony http://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01-SNAPSHOT/packages/mipsel_24kc/telephony
src/gz omega2_core http://repo.onion.io/omega2/packages/core
src/gz omega2_base http://repo.onion.io/omega2/packages/base
src/gz omega2_packages http://repo.onion.io/omega2/packages/packages
src/gz omega2_onion http://repo.onion.io/omega2/packages/onion
src/gz omega2_test http://repo.onion.io/omega2/test/packages

Now you have installed a repo where they store gcc as it is named test i guess it isn't stable but it worked ok for me. So lets move on to install gcc and make
```
opkg update
opkg install binutils
opkg install gcc
opkg install make
```

Lets download and unpack the source code from http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/. At the time if writing it is smstools3-3.1.21.tar.gz.

mkdir -p /root/src/
cd /root/src/
wget http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/packages/smstools3-3.1.21.tar.gz
tar -zxvf smstools3-3.1.21.tar.gz
cd smstools3

Before we can build the source we need to make a small fix in the Makefile. We are going to use vim, if you need help on how to edit files with vim please read the guide File Editing on the Omega.
```
vi src/Makefile
```
On line 6 to 9 you will find some stuff for Solaris, we don't run Solaris but we are going to use one of them. Uncomment line 9 as below. This will tell make to use gcc and not cc which is not installed.
```
# Uncomment for Solaris
# CFLAGS += -D SOLARIS
# This might be also needed for Solaris:
CC=gcc
```
Compile the software and install the binaries.
```
make
make install
```
Now it is all compiled and installed now we just need to make a few tweaks to the init.d-script and config. Open /etc/init.d/sms3 and edit line 30 as below
```
NAME=smsd
PSOPT=""
ECHO=echo
```
As default smstools whats to keeps its SMS in /var/spool/sms/, but as /var is a link to /tmp which is a temp filesystem so the files we stored there would get deleted on reboot. Open /etc/smsd.conf and add the following rows to the first half of it
```
outgoing = /sms/outgoing
checked = /sms/checked
incoming = /sms/incoming
```
Now we need to specify which port your modem is on. If you have a Cellular Expansion Board for your Omega2 and it is the only expansion you have connected then try /dev/ttyACM0.
```
[GSM1]
device = /dev/ttyACM0
incoming = yes
```
Turn the key and start the daemon!
```
/etc/init.d/sms3 start
```
