[asterisk-dev] Running asterisk trunk build

[Kirill 'Big K' Katsnelson]

I checked out trunk head code and built it. I seem to be unable to run 
it, and the reason, *seems* to me, is that it tries to load old modules.

I have asterisk installed on the same machine. I would like to keep it 
this way (not upgrade) if possible. Neither build specified any --with 
directoriy options.

In /etc, there is a file asterisk.conf that I *think* can be used to 
point asterisk to its module directories. There is also the -C command 
line option that, as the help message says, would specify a different 
config file, which I *assume* is the one that would be loaded instead of 
/etc/asterisk.conf, or whatever the build default is.

Now, the matter of fact is, I am wrong. Trunk distribution does not 
include configs/asterisk.conf.sample, so I *guess* it has been deprecated.

Am I doing something one does not want to do? I remember 1.6.1.6 ran 
fine before `make install', but that was on a machine without any 
version of asterisk installed. Anyhow, it would be really nice to run 
the build that is not installed.

So, anybody can share the secret spell that would let me do that? Magic 
highly appreciated.
