Notes for building asterisk & app_rpt on Debian

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

• Pick up the Acid SVN and Dahdi patches.

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

• Get Dahdi source - 2.9.1.1 currently

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 <code bash> ./configure make sudo make install </code> * 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.
