Cross-linking with BrandMeister[edit]

To create cross-link you need several things:

Patch is available here - https://code.brandmeister.network/r3abm/AutoPatch.git
Patched version of SVXLink is available here = https://github.com/stefansaraev/svxlink/tree/autopatch

Compiling[edit]

# create user and group
groupadd svxlink
useradd -r -g nogroup -s /sbin/nologin -d /opt/SVXLink -c "SvxLink Daemon" svxlink
usermod -G audio,nogroup,svxlink svxlink

# fetch patched sources, compile and install into /opt/SVXLink
cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/stefansaraev/svxlink.git -b autopatch
cd svxlink
./build.sh

# install the systemd unit if you want to run svxlink as systemd service
cp bm/svxlink.service /etc/systemd/system/
systemctl enable svxlink

System configuration[edit]

The supplied patch used to translate callsigns that come from EchoLink into DMR IDs.
