[Asterisk-bsd] Asterisk 1.4.0-beta3 on FreeBSD-6.1

[Frank Griffith]

I've been using FreeBSD for many years but I'm far
from being a programmer and know even less about the
Makefiles. I've been reading the manpage on make and
it's really confusing to a novice like myself.

I would like to try and install the new *-1.4.0-beta3
on my system along with the new libpri and zaptel. I
made note of all the dependencies during my last build
of * and then on a new machine did a pkg_add for them.
I was amazed at how fast this process works as
compared to the ports method. Anyway, I got everything
loaded with the exception of autoconf. I then untarred
the new beta versions of libpri, zaptel and asterisk.

Of course I realize this will probably not install as
per the FBSD filesystem discipline,
/usr/local/etc/...but I'm trying. I logged into the
#freebsd chatroom on freenode and was immediately sent
packing with all the rude comments and
misunderstandings from those who either don't know
what * is or were pissed that I was trying something
new...outside of the ports...I heard everything from
from RTFM to give it up if you're not as smart as us.
Sheesh! Some people.

I read a few weeks ago that someone in this mailing
list got *-1.4 installed on FreeBSD. Can anyone tell
me more about how this is done? What do I need to do
to the Makefiles? I really want to try out the new gui
that comes with *-1.4.

Thanks in advance.
