[Freeswitch-users] Skypopen failure ?

Following the hint from ThunderZ, I can announce a rough solution (I'll
document it better next week):

1) you install the skype client downloaded by install.pl in a regular
desktop linux
2) you load skypopen.ko and make the /dev/ device as per
start-skype-clients script
3) you start the skype instance on desktop
4) you connect to the skype net with username and password and set the
"login at startup" checkbox
5) you compile the client.c you found in configs dir of the mod_skypopen
source, as per the first line of the client.c file
6) you exec the client.c program you just compiled
7) you give the skype client authorization to be connected from skypopen
application and check the "no ask again" checkbox
8) you exec the client.c program again to be sure it connect no problem
9) you save a copy of the entire ~/.Skype directory
10) you use that copy as a substitute of
/usr/local/freeswitch/skypopen/skype_clients_configuration_dir/skype101 to
skypeN (eg you copy it N times to skype101 skype102 etc)
11) you modify the startup_skype_clients.sh script so it simply launches
the skype client, without username and password on stdin and without
--pipelogin option

It takes a little time and patience, but it works.
