[Asterisk-Users] spandsp hylafax asterisk and confusion

[Steve Underwood]

Hi Terry,

You could have tried following the instructions at 
fttp://www.opencall.org/instructions.html rather than guess how to build 
the software. :-)

If you are using the latest CVS there is a build problem with app_rxfax 
and app_txfax. If you use the latest *stable* CVS it should build OK. If 
you are using version 0.0.1j of spandsp update to 0.0.1k

Regards,
Steve
