[Asterisk-Dev] Problem with asterisk/codecs/gsm/Makefile asterisk/codecs/mp3

[Chris Albertson]

Is there a reason why Asterisk does not use GNU autoconf?
Is it just because no one has done it yet and Asterisk was not
(at least at first) intended to be ported?

automake/autoconf is pretty much the best way to solve makefile
and other portability issues.

I tied building on a 64-bit SPARC which is IMO the best platform
for a PBX (needles to say it bombed big time.) but I would not
attempt to even start a port without first converting over to
use GNU auto tools and libtool.

You can buy SPARCS for under $1k and you can even install the OS
remotely.  (Software in ROM talks to the serial port with no
OS loaded.)  1 3/4" high, very small footprint. About as big as
a stack of two notebook PCs  and they take PCI cards and have
two 100BaseT interfaces built in.

So again, is there any reason not to use the "auto tools"?
