[Asterisk-Dev] non-root asterisk install

[Klaus-Peter Junghanns]

Hi Duncan,

just change the INSTALL_PREFIX in the Makefile and change the
paths in asterisk.conf to point to a different location.
I run all my * installations non-root. Make sure your user has
the right permissions on /dev/zaptel/* (or /dev/capi* in my
case).
Start * with the -C /full/path/asterisk.conf to make * find
the asterisk.conf in a different location.

regards

kapejod
