ircDDBGateway/README.md

This is the ircDDB Gateway. It allows a D-Star Repeater to interface into callsign routing via ircDDB and all of the different reflector types. It includes many facilities, including:

* Supports Icom stacks.
* Supports homebrew repeaters.
* Icom DD mode under Linux with Internet access.
* Callsign routing via ircDDB.
* D-Plus REF reflectors.
* DExtra XRF reflectors.
* DCS reflectors.
* XLX reflectors.
* CCS7 routing.
* D-RATS data transfers.
* Gateway DPRS data to APRS-IS.
* Full multi lingual text and voice announcements.
* DTMF or UR call control.
* Remote control interface.
* StarNet server.
* Ability to set policies for reflector usage.
* IPv6 support.

There are many external programs that allow for inserting voice or text messages, as well as remote control operation.

They all build on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux as well as on Windows using Visual Studio 2019 on x86 and x64.

# Build and installing
## Regular build
```shell
make
make -f MakefileGUI #only required if you want to build the GUI programs
sudo make install
```
## Drop-in replacement for dl5di OpenDV packages
This will conpile the program to be used as a drop in replacement for the no longer maintained DL5DI OpenDV packages. Systemd files to run ircddbgatewayd as daemon will also be installed.
```shell
export TARGET=opendv
make
make -f MakefileGUI #only required if you want to build the GUI programs
sudo make install
```
Now you should edit the configuration in the file /etc/ircddbgateway to match your needs.
```shell
sudo systemctl enable ircddbgatewayd.service #enable service
sudo service ircddbgatewayd start
```
