here the needed packages:

1. perl
2. XML::Simple - needed to use providers.xml
3. wget
4. gocr - needed to automatically read a captcha

the GUI need:

1. perl
2. Gtk2::GladeXML
3. Gtk2::TrayIcon - used only by smwgui3 for minimize itself in the trybar

to install them on a ubuntu or debian

$ sudo apt-get install libxml-simple-perl  libgtk2-gladexml-perl gocr  libgtk2-trayicon-perl 

or try with CPAN:

$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'force install XML::Simple'
$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'force install Gtk2'
$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'force install Gtk2::GladeXML'
$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'force install Gtk2::TrayIcon'

i've written this script to autoinstall smw (it download and unpack the tar.gz):

wget http://csms.indivia.net/smw-autoinstall && sh smw-autoinstall

So you will have SMuW on ~/smw/ and a desktop icon of the GUI:


Here the graphical interface:

• From the voice "sito/account" you can choose: a previously created account - a file for SMuW or a wwSMSClient - Client (the last beginning with the double points)
• With the advanced button you can set other variables
• under it, there is an address book (when you tipe a new number click "Aggiungi" to add it to the addressbook, and when you select a recipient click "Elimina" to delete it from the addressboock),
• The button with the yellow arrow search for updates
• The large button with a mail send the SMS

when a captcha is required:
By default, there is not a automatically captcha recognition and it will be shown here:

• Ok: Send the typed code (you can just press Enter)
• Riprova: rrequest another code (if is possible)
• Annulla: abort

• Join the directory smw/confs (e.g. /home/test/smw/confs)
• edit the file smwgun.confs (e.g. /home/test/smw/confs/smwgun.confs)
• Substitute the line pickcode.default=readcode with pickcode.default=ocr
• Set the value of ocr.nretry with the maximun retries before show the captcha code to the user for a manual entry

• SMuW system use wget so you have to configure it
• If you aren't root or you want a standalone configuration: in the file ~/.bashrc add the line export http_proxy='http://username:password@ip:porta'
• To set a proxy o all users, edit the file /etc/environment and add the line http_proxy='http://username:password@ip:porta'

• You can find the new gui in this file: ./smwgui3
