If you're system has multiple processors, use: make -jx
where x is the number of processors on you system.
To tell how many processors you have: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l
2) cd to the QnetGateway directory and configure it: cd QnetGateway; ./qnconfig
Make sure you set your callsign in the irc menu and set an mmdvmhost modem
in module A, B or C. Write out the configuration file before you leave qnconfig.
3) Copy the ini file template: cp MMDVM.ini MMDVM.qn

cp MMDVM.ini MMDVM.qn
Edit the MMDVM.qn file. Set your Callsign and Id. Turn off duplex. Enable an
external display, if you have one. Set the Frequency(s). Set the Latitude and
other location info if you want. Change the log levels. I use DisplayLevel=2
and FileLevel=0. Set the Port on your modem. Disable all services except for
D-Star (at least for now). Very important: Set the [D-Star] Module. For UHF
use B and for VHF use C.
5) Let's test it! Start it: ./MMDVMHost MMDVM.qn
6) Key your radio and see if the MMDVMHost responds with an acknowledgment. Then
you'll know that everything on the MMDVM side is fine.
7) Stop the MMDVMHost with a Control-C and edit the MMDVM.qn file again. Change
the [D-Star] AckReply=0
You won't/don't want this reply from MMDVMhost. You want the acknowledgment
from QnetGateway, it's more informative.
We'll come back to MMDVMHost later, but for now let's work on the QnetGateway.

Edit this new YSFGateway.qn file for your system.
10) You need a configuration file called qn.cfg for QnetGateway. Start the
configuration script: ./qnconfig
This script will allow you to change any configuration parameter from its
default value. At a minimum, you need to set your login callsign in the ircddb
section and define at least one module. If you want to use the legacy,
closed-source D-Plus reflectors and repeaters, be sure to enable it in the
D-Plus menu. Be sure to write out your configruation file after you have entered
all your changes, then you can exit the configuration script.
