Notes for building asterisk & app_rpt on Debian

• Forum notes

• Get the kernel header files for your current kernel - uname -r - they must match
  • This is necessary to compile asterisk and dahdi

libslang2-dev:amd64 <none> 2.2.4-15
libnewt-dev:amd64 <none> 0.52.14-11.1
libsqlite3-dev:amd64 <none> 3.7.13-1+deb7u1
libxml2-dev:amd64 <none> 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+nmu2
uuid-dev:amd64 <none> 2.20.1-5.3
libjansson4:amd64 <none> 2.3.1-2
libjansson-dev:amd64 <none> 2.3.1-2

• Pick up the Acid SVN and Dahdi patches.

cd /usr/src
svn co http://svn.ohnosec.org/svn/projects/allstar/astsrc-1.4.23-pre/trunk/

• this creates a trunk directory.
  • I think I only needed to check out trunk/asterisk & trunk/fixed-dahdi-patches

• Source code can be browsed here

http://svn.ohnosec.org/svn/projects/allstar/astsrc-1.4.23-pre/trunk/fixed-dahdi-patches/
http://svn.ohnosec.org/svn/projects/allstar/astsrc-1.4.23-pre/trunk/

• Get Dahdi source (currently 2.9.1.1) from asterisk.org

http://www.asterisk.org/downloads/dahdi

• Create a /usr/src/asterisk and untar the acid svn there.
• create /usr/src/utils/dahdi and untar dahdi there.
• Also untar the dahdi patches and apply them. Readme shows how.

• Compile and install Dahdi - make all, make install, make configure

• You need to have dahdi up and running before you compile asterisk.

• Compile asterisk

./configure
make
sudo make install

• copy the other files from a running asterisk allstar system
  • /etc/asterisk config files,
  • rc.updatenodelist.

• There are many more in between steps and failure points that need to be reconciled.
• In particular there will be errors in compiles because of missing dependencies especially with the asterisk compile.
  • You need to load the dependency and then run ./configure again, then make.
  • After you do the ./configure you can do a make menuselect and see what items are not loading (XXX) because of dependency failures
  • When you cursor to it it shows the requiements at the bottom of the screen.
    • These are not always exactly the name you need to install but they are close.
