Fedora Core

Summary

A friend called and asked me for some help installing Asterisk 1.4 on his system so lets begin.

Download the tars from digium

Make yourself a nice little place to place in /usr/src/

mkdir /usr/src/asterisk
cd /usr/src/asterisk

wget http://ftp1.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-1.4.4.tar.gz
wget http://ftp1.digium.com/pub/asterisk/asterisk-addons-1.4.1.tar.gz
wget http://ftp1.digium.com/pub/zaptel/zaptel-1.4.2.1.tar.gz
wget http://ftp1.digium.com/pub/libpri/libpri-1.4.0.tar.gz

Extract the tars

tar zxvf asterisk-1.4.4.tar.gz
tar zxvf asterisk-addons-1.4.1.tar.gz
tar zxvf libpri-1.4.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf zaptel-1.4.2.1.tar.gz

Check the Kernel for compatibility

This is probably the most complex part so pay attention.

You will need the kernel sources to compile zaptel sounds easy right? Wrong with dual core CPUs being so common these days you need to make sure you have either one core or 1< cores.

For those of you with only one core issue this command:

yum install kernel-devel

For those of you with more than one issue this command:

yum install kernel-smp-devel

Compile zaptel (and libpri)

We need to symlink to our kernel source as stated in the Readme.Linux26

/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/

To build for Linux 2.6, first you must be sure that you have a symlink to your linux-2.6 sources in /usr/src/linux-2.6. The 2.6 kernel no longer needs the full sourcecode to build against it. You can create the symlink to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/ and then you can type:

cd /usr/src/asterisk/zaptel*
make
make install

Note that you will also need CRC-CCITT functions compiled with your kernel or as a kernel module. These can be selected from the "Library Routines" submenu during kernel configuration via "make menuconfig"
