Asterisk 1.6.2.x Problems

[daswars]

Hi

I have a problem

PlugPBX:/usr/src/asterisk-1.6.2.4# make
CC="cc" CXX="g++" LD="" AR="" RANLIB="" CFLAGS="" make -C menuselect CONFIGURE_SILENT="--silent" makeopts
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/asterisk-1.6.2.4/menuselect'
make[1]: `makeopts' is up to date.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/asterisk-1.6.2.4/menuselect'
   [CC] src/add.c -> src/add.o
Assembler messages:
Error: unknown architecture `armv5tel'

Error: unrecognized option -march=armv5tel
src/add.c:1: error: bad value (armv5tel) for -march= switch
make[2]: *** [src/add.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [gsm/lib/libgsm.a] Error 2
make: *** [codecs] Error 2


Update:  Read somewhere to Edit makeopts, find PROC=armv5tejl and change to PROC=arm, save and exit to have error free compilation of Asterisk…Have yet to try

When I compiled it I found I would switch target to "arm" re-run make and then the compile would continue, choke again, so I'd flip it back to "arm5tel" re-run make and complete the compile.... brute forced

Yah dirty but its working you all use it so meh 

Try building it as 'arm' from start to finish and see where that gets ya

NOTE: I compiled it on the sheevaplug itself last time I built asterisk for PlugPBX didn't bother setting up a Cross Compiler (might do so next time)

Hi PlugPBX Admin

maybe you can release a version that contains 1.6.2.X asterisk?
That would help me a lot ...

Thx

There is a long list of things to do before I think about building new versions of Asterisk... I've focused on reliable builds instead of bleeding edge components, as most people don't need 1.6.2 (1.6.1 stable will do nicely).

That being said, you are more then welcome to build the ARM binaries for 1.6.2 if you need it sooner, and if you do, I'm happy to make a tarball available for others to patch their systems if they have a pressing need for 1.6.2.

At this point, the key issue I have to perfect is the read-only based SD card file-system to ensure years of trouble free operation, as the current form of PlugPBX will eventually kill its SD card host (we're talking 1+ years or so) .... once all that is behind us, a refresh of it is in order long term.

Of course, the beauty of this project, is that any other users savvy enough to do this work can freely share back what updates they've made. I'm just one guy, and if it has to happen by my hands (if nobody else will do it) ...then its based on my availability and time to do so. I'm sure you understand!

 

What about 1.6.2 do you need that 1.6.1 does not offer, just for my own curiosity...

[daswars]

I want to make the sevvaplug a GSM gateway.

[PlugPBX Admin]

You can cross compile that then or install the dev tools / libs and compile right on the sheevaplug if you wish!

1.6.2 is far out on my plans. In fact, I'm really curious to see where FreeSwitch / FreePBX 3 goes - might entertain that longer term possibly if it lives up to the hype of it verses asterisk. I forsee what I've build now sticking around awhile yet for most mortals.

That being said - PlugPBX is not a firmware locked-in router type deal. Its a full blown computer. You can add/remove/upgrade/patch it however you want. If someone wants to compile newer arm binaries for Asterisk and make them available, wicked!

I have to serve the needs of the common many. To be perfectly honest, I made this for myself - but some friends expressed enough interest in wanting copies I decided to put-up a quick and dirty website to share the image - and things kinda snowballed to where we are at now.

Stability before feature porn - if someone can provide the binaries to me and prove its 'stable' I'll happily throw it in - or people can offer binary packs to patch their existing systems with and I'll happily host the files here...

im really interested in freepbx3 and freeswitch as well.
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#Cross_Compiling_for_ARM_on_Linux

I have installed this on a stock debian (x86) box quite easily.  the cross-compile can be a pain to troubleshoot but freepbx3 I would expect to work well as long as you got php5 and apache running properly on the plug...

[PlugPBX Admin]

I'm going to wait and see when FreeSwitch and FreePBX3 go 'stable', and take a stab at it then with a SheevaPlug. Asterisk is great, but - it does have alot of silly legacy things to it FreeSwitch nicely addresses. Interesting times ahead.

did 1.6.2 ever get compiled for the plug?
I have come across a bug in 1.6.1 that is supposedly fixed in 1.6.2, so I would
like to upgrade.  The bug is around notification of errors in iax protocol negotiations,
errors aren't show, even with debug on.

Thanks

There is an apt binary of 1.62 which can be installed on the newest version of squeeze.


Asterisk seems to be installing fine. I am having an issue with Freepbx so I am not done yet, but I think I am close.

Asterisk is starting fine, but when I install Freepbx it breaks it.

[PlugPBX Admin]

FreePBX can be a pain to get working - one's first time installing it is a learning experience.

I'm curious to see what FreePBX 3.0 is like with its integration and if its easier to work with, including with things like FreeSwitch.

The stable version of the project is now called blue.box and works with both Asterisk and freeSWITCH. You can check out their website at  http://www.2600hz.org/
On a side note, they are also holding a Free SWITCH bootcamp in New York October 13-15. The coupon code is "freevoip" if you're interested.

Blue.Box looks like a trunk of FreePBX3.0?
