It does not work... I wasted a weekend trying to make a Debian based
install work for another Asterisk user... Only after asking him how he
installed Open H.323 and PWlib did we solve the problem. Once he
removed the debian installed crap and installed the real Open H.323 and
PWlib everything started working as expected and I have never heard
from this guy again.<br>
<br>
Then a few days later I had more than someone else complain about seg
faults and when asked if they installed a distro specific install, they
answered, yes...Then, again, after deleting that distro specific crap
and actually installing the actual Open H.323 and PWLib from
openh323.org and following the build instructions layed out by
Equivleance did they get chan_h323 to work.<br>

Sure, because library name from pure pwlib and h323 is _crazy_
Now - look into my patch... I said that it's to use with openh323 and
pwlib from distros...

This patch will break non-distro specific installs, thus will NOT be
merged. Plain and simple.. I follow the lead of Equivelance, the
people that actually created Open H.323 and PWLib, not some lame distro
manager who thinks they know someone elses code better than the people
that actually wrote it.<br>
