First off, let me start by saying I think this is a great new step that is
greatly appreciated (at least by me) toward a complete telephony platform.
Second off, I just tried to build and install. Some comments up till now:
- The compilation process asks for libaudiofile headerfiles (-dev package) -
this was not default on my box. Should be added to documentation I guess :)
- On my Debian box libtiff is an empty package (sucks) so I downloaded the
tiff package source code. Installation here sucks once more: the mentioned
tiffiop.h is not installed in /usr/local/include as I suppose it should, same
goes for several other header files. Easiest was to just point the Makefile in
your src/ tree toward the libtiff source.
- The linker tries to access fftw (Fourier libraries). Not default installed
on my system, should probably be added to documentation
- The linker tries to access unicall. What is this ? Not installed on my
system and no candidates on my searchlist (apt-get and a quick google search).
How to continue ?
Thanks, and I hope to continue this adventure soon :-)
