[Asterisk-Dev] asterisk on non-linux OSes

[Jake Morrison]

It just happens that I had been trying to get asterisk to compile 
on OpenBSD 3.3 recently.

I mostly just turned warnings into errors (-Werror flag) and made it
compile. 
Asterisk started up, but I don't know if anything works yet :-) Since
people are
doing the same thing I thought I would send things along to save some
work.  
Attached is the output of  "cvs diff -wu". 

The biggest differences between Linux and OpenBSD are:

time_t is an int, not a long

pthread_t is a pointer, not an int. I used a separate variable for the
logic, and I am not sure it is completely correct. 

The resolver on OpenBSD is reentrant, so the normal res_init() works
fine. 

The networking stuff (bind()/accept(), etc.) needs an explicit cast to
(struct sockaddr*). but that's good form anyway...

The rest were just some things to silence warnings. I didn't try too
hard on the MP3 and yacc stuff. 

I would be happy to set Asterisk up to build using autoconf if people
are interested.

Sorry for late reply; too busy.

Yes, I am extremely interested in getting Asterisk running 
(completely) on OpenBSD platforms, and will make available a test 
platform (i386) to anyone who needs a testbed on 3.3.  I have not 
tested in several months, but I was able to get it to compile some 
time ago thanks to the hard work of Thorsten Lockert.  I haven't 
tried recently.

I would ultimately like to see the whole thing running, including Zap 
hardware (Digium Wildcards) on OpenBSD to match the rest of my 
network.  Linux is nice, but I currently have to run a completely 
separate master server, and test server, etc. etc. just for my 
Asterisk systems.  I'd much rather keep my standard UNIX environment 
with one platform.  I'd be happy with i386, but Sparc/PPC/Alpha would 
also be really cool (and very difficult, no doubt.)   I assume once 
OpenBSD was tackled, NetBSD or FreeBSD would not be very hard (or 
vice versa, since OBSD usually follows NetBSD.)
