[Asterisk-Users] Problems with oh323-0.5.10

[Terence Parker]

I am trying to get asterisk working with H323 - but I don't seem to be
getting very far. I have downloaded the asterisk-oh323-0.5.10 package, but
cannot seem to compile it ; I get the following errors:

....... [ a lot omitted ] .....

I have declared my PWLIBDIR as /usr/share/pwlib , which should be correct,
and I have also declared the OPENH323DIR to /usr/include/openh323 (i've
tried /usr/share/openh323 too, also doesn't work).

For pwlib i've currently installed ver. 1.6.3 and openh323 is 1.13.2 . These
were both done through the portage system in gentoo linux. I attempted to
manually compile and install pwlib 1.5.2 as suggested, but compilation of
pwlib failed!

Is the asterisk-oh323 package even needed? What does it do exactly? On the
asterisk website I get no indication that it is required and the site talks
as if asterisk should ALREADY support H323 out of the box. Indeed, in the
asterisk source /channels directory there is a chan_h323.c file - does this
mean it already supports H323?

How does one go about getting H323 to work in asterisk?

Thanks,

Terence
