HOW-TO: Setup Asterisk 1.8/gtalk on Dockstar/Debian

[twinclouds]

Not sure about what is the problem.  For DNS server, one check you can do a "ping google.com".  If it works then it is not DNS problem.  If not, put a line in the resolv.conf "nameserver 208.67.222.222" or any other public DNS server.  Just try and see if it works.  Also check if you have put the gateway statement when you change to the static ip address.

Thanks, twinclouds. I fixed the problem by editing resolv.conf.

Try to build the latest (1.8.7.0) but run into problem at step 8.
When I do "make menuconfig", I got:

Code:

CC="cc" CXX="" LD="" AR="" RANLIB="" CFLAGS="" make -C menuselect CONFIGURE_SILENT="--silent" makeopts
make[1]: Entering directory `/src/asterisk-1.8.7.0/menuselect'
make[1]: `makeopts' is up to date.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/asterisk-1.8.7.0/menuselect'
CC="cc" CXX="" LD="" AR="" RANLIB="" CFLAGS="" make -C menuselect CONFIGURE_SILENT="--silent" nmenuselect
make[1]: Entering directory `/src/asterisk-1.8.7.0/menuselect'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `nmenuselect'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/asterisk-1.8.7.0/menuselect'
CC="cc" CXX="" LD="" AR="" RANLIB="" CFLAGS="" make -C menuselect CONFIGURE_SILENT="--silent" gmenuselect

make[2]: Entering directory `/src/asterisk-1.8.7.0/menuselect'
make[2]: `makeopts' is up to date.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/src/asterisk-1.8.7.0/menuselect'
Terminal must be at least 80 x 27.

menuselect changes NOT saved!
make[1]: Leaving directory `/src/asterisk-1.8.7.0'

Can I do this step another way?
Thanks.

Toolbox123: you simply need to enlarge the window of your SSH terminal.

PIscicelli, Thank you but my build did not work. I found a deb at dslreports and it installed fine on my DockStar.
Will try to rebuild it at another time.

[piscicelli]

Looks ok to me.

The source code (1.8.9.0) does not have __sparc__ in main/utils.c anymore.

Looks like the ARM bug was fixed in Asterisk 1.8.8.0 and Asterisk 10.0.0:

Cool. With things settling into 'stupid easy' I may get off my butt and finish the all-in-one installer script. Wonder if all the Bluetooth stuff I was trying to get working is also fixed now.. Hmm...

Just have to repair my 3rd sheeva's power supply (replace caps) and get it running again. Had to sacrafice its PS for a failed 'in production' unit in the house.

I haven't touch it for quite sometime, Just realized today that those patches are no longer needed.  I think the PROC=arm is still needed, correct?  I will make edits of the original once get changes.
Thanks for everybody's interest and support.

[piscicelli]

Yes, you still need PROC=arm.

[twinclouds]

I did a fresh installation.  All needed is to change to PROC=arm.  Everything seem work fine.  I will revised the original post.  Thanks for everybody's help.

How come Asterisk still needs to be compiled now? There's no "apt-get" for it since the bug is fixed in the official version now?
