5) References
You will need to have some packages installed before compile the Asterisk:
Maybe some of these packages you have already installed. To install the rest of them, use YaST:
* subversion - if you want Up-to-day source code
* kernel-source - depend on your running kernel
* gcc
* make
* ncurses
* ncurses-devel
* openssl
* openssl-devel
* zlib
* zlib-devel
* kernel-source - depend on your running kernel
* gcc
* make
* ncurses
* ncurses-devel
* openssl
* openssl-devel
* zlib
* zlib-devel
Maybe some of these packages you have already installed. To install the rest of them, use YaST:
#yast
2) How to get the source of Asterisk
Needful packages are: libpri,zaptel and Asterisk
Latest Asterisk version is 1.2.2 (New from 18.01.2006)
The tarballs could be downloaded from the links below:
The sources could be obtained also from the SVN repository. Below are the steps you have to follow:
For more information please read our tutorial for basic installation information.
Latest Asterisk version is 1.2.2 (New from 18.01.2006)
The tarballs could be downloaded from the links below:
Asterisk-1.2.2
Zaptel-1.2.2
Libpri-1.2.2
Then decompress the archive with the following command:
# tar zxvf package_name-version.tar.gz
Zaptel-1.2.2
Libpri-1.2.2
Then decompress the archive with the following command:
# tar zxvf package_name-version.tar.gz
The sources could be obtained also from the SVN repository. Below are the steps you have to follow:
# mkdir /usr/src/asterisk
# cd /usr/src/asterisk - put all SVN packages in one place.
For the stable version 1.2 use the following commands:
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/libpri/branches/1.2 libpri-1.2
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/branches/1.2 zaptel-1.2
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.2 asterisk-1.2
For the latest SVN Head version use:
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/libpri/trunk libpri
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/trunk zaptel
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk asterisk
# cd /usr/src/asterisk - put all SVN packages in one place.
For the stable version 1.2 use the following commands:
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/libpri/branches/1.2 libpri-1.2
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/branches/1.2 zaptel-1.2
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.2 asterisk-1.2
For the latest SVN Head version use:
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/libpri/trunk libpri
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/trunk zaptel
# svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk asterisk
For more information please read our tutorial for basic installation information.
3) Compiling
In order to get Asterisk working you have to compile these three packages - libpri, zaptel and asterisk.
Important! - the order has to be: libpri, zaptel, asterisk.
We suppose that the source codes are in the /usr/src/asterisk directory.
So first compile libpri. Follow the commands below:
Then it is time for the zaptel package.
And Finally it is time for the Asterisk package.
Important! - the order has to be: libpri, zaptel, asterisk.
We suppose that the source codes are in the /usr/src/asterisk directory.
So first compile libpri. Follow the commands below:
# cd /usr/src/asterisk/libpri
# make clean
# make
# make install
# make clean
# make
# make install
Then it is time for the zaptel package.
# cd /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel
# make clean
# make linux26 - if you using kernel version 2.6. otherwise run only make
# make install
# make clean
# make linux26 - if you using kernel version 2.6. otherwise run only make
# make install
And Finally it is time for the Asterisk package.
# cd /usr/src/asterisk/asterisk
# make clean - It's a good idea to run '# make clean' before recompiling. You can also use it to clean up after installing.
# make mpg123 - it is needed in order to be able to play mp3 files for music on hold (if you want)
* install only the package that come with Asterisk (ver. 0.59r)
# make
# make install
# make samples - this will put the configuration files in the /etc/asterisk/ directory. If there is already such files they will be overwritten and the old ones will be put in a backup directory. If you prefer your own files, edit the Makefile - change OVERWRITE=y to OVERWRITE=n or just not execute this make :-)
# make clean - It's a good idea to run '# make clean' before recompiling. You can also use it to clean up after installing.
for compatibility with VIA motherboards/processors edit the Makefile and uncomment line #PROC=i586
# make mpg123 - it is needed in order to be able to play mp3 files for music on hold (if you want)
* install only the package that come with Asterisk (ver. 0.59r)
# make
# make install
# make samples - this will put the configuration files in the /etc/asterisk/ directory. If there is already such files they will be overwritten and the old ones will be put in a backup directory. If you prefer your own files, edit the Makefile - change OVERWRITE=y to OVERWRITE=n or just not execute this make :-)
4) Idefisk
Idefisk is a graphic application. You need a working X server with some window manager installed. For example Gnome or KDE.
Idefisk depends on the GTK (GTK 2.6 or later) and expat libraries. So you have to install them by using YaST:
1. Download and Install
In order to get the Idefisk version that you prefer, please follow this link.
For the installation use a directory, where you have the rights to write!.
Create a subdirectory inside. For example we will use the home directory of a regular Linux user.
2. Possible errors and solutions
Idefisk depends on the GTK (GTK 2.6 or later) and expat libraries. So you have to install them by using YaST:
# yast -i gtk2 expat
1. Download and Install
In order to get the Idefisk version that you prefer, please follow this link.
For the installation use a directory, where you have the rights to write!.
Create a subdirectory inside. For example we will use the home directory of a regular Linux user.
$ cd ~
$ mkdir idefisk - put the Idefisk arhive inside
$ tar zxvf idefisk.tar.gz
$ sudo cp libiaxclient.so /usr/lib
or
$ su < type your root password >
# cp libiaxclient.so /usr/lib - you may copy libiaxclient.so in /usr/local/lib if you prefer
# ldconfig
# exit
$ ./idefisk
$ mkdir idefisk - put the Idefisk arhive inside
$ tar zxvf idefisk.tar.gz
$ sudo cp libiaxclient.so /usr/lib
or
$ su < type your root password >
# cp libiaxclient.so /usr/lib - you may copy libiaxclient.so in /usr/local/lib if you prefer
# ldconfig
# exit
$ ./idefisk
2. Possible errors and solutions
1) If you get an error like:
First search for the libexpat in the /usr/lib directory
# cd /usr/lib
# ls -l libexpat*
You must see something like this:
If you don't have libexpat.so.<some version> try to install "again" the expat.
Next, create symlink named libexpat.so.1 which to point to libexpat.so.0.5.0 (version numbers may be different). To do this use:
# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libexpat.so.0.5.0 libexpat.so.1
"libexpat.so.1: No such file or directory"
First search for the libexpat in the /usr/lib directory
# cd /usr/lib
# ls -l libexpat*
You must see something like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 160636 2005-09-09 18:58 libexpat.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 706 2005-09-09 18:58 libexpat.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2006-01-13 12:26 libexpat.so -> libexpat.so.0.5.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2006-01-13 12:26 libexpat.so.0 -> libexpat.so.0.5.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 127428 2005-09-09 18:58 libexpat.so.0.5.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 706 2005-09-09 18:58 libexpat.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2006-01-13 12:26 libexpat.so -> libexpat.so.0.5.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2006-01-13 12:26 libexpat.so.0 -> libexpat.so.0.5.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 127428 2005-09-09 18:58 libexpat.so.0.5.0
If you don't have libexpat.so.<some version> try to install "again" the expat.
Next, create symlink named libexpat.so.1 which to point to libexpat.so.0.5.0 (version numbers may be different). To do this use:
# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libexpat.so.0.5.0 libexpat.so.1
2) Audio devices error
To check permissions use ls -l <device name>, /dev/dsp or /dev/mixer
To set permissions of you sound devices use:
To check permissions use ls -l <device name>, /dev/dsp or /dev/mixer
To set permissions of you sound devices use:
# chmod 660 /dev/dsp
or
# chmod 666 /dev/dsp
for mixer device replace /dev/dsp with /dev/mixer
or
# chmod 666 /dev/dsp
for mixer device replace /dev/dsp with /dev/mixer
