[Asterisk-Users] Help compiling zaptel in Debian

[Scott Henderson]

I have compile Asterisk many times on Woody without any problems.  I am 
not sure about the error your are receiving but some things that you 
might want to watch for.

* You need to recompile the kernel with the source for Woody I think 
this is currently 2.4.18 I noticed you have 2.4.20.

* Use the kernel definition distributed with Woody, don't make this up 
as you go, or things will get ugly fast every time I think I know better 
I end up recompiling after it doesn't work.

* Get the tar ball distribution of Asterisk, Zaptel and libpri, don't 
use the CVS.  I don't know CVS that well and I have always had trouble 
getting the right version of the code.  The tar balls are a nice package 
and they are stable releases.

* For the time being avoid the Debian packages, recently they got the 
libpri out of sync and we had to compile things manually to bring our 
system back up after everything came tumbling down.

* Don't do anything fancy, Woody is stable, asterisk and the support 
software will compile if you do everything just right ;)

* All else fails you can use Sarge but the process is the same as are 
the pit falls.  While all of our development systems are running Sarge 
now, Sarge still has a large number of updates that you need to keep up 
with and this can be frustrating.

Finally, if you are still having trouble, we build and compile these 
systems regularly for customers and we can help you if you need the 
assistance.

Good luck
