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

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"
