[asterisk-users] dahdi_tool missing

[Alec Davis]

Did you try to make dahdi-tools before installing newt_devel ?
 
pre-requisits are on debian;
    libncurses5-dev
    libnewt-dev 
 
I'm guessing as to what the problem might be, but I think that it now still
complains that libnewt-dev needs to be installed.
I see this regularly when building a new installation and have forgotten to
install libnewt-dev or what ever.
 
re running ./configure and then 'make menuslect' always reports as below
(even after installing libncurses5-dev and libnewt-dev)
 
CC="" CXX="g++" LD="" AR="" RANLIB="" CFLAGS="" make -C menuselect
CONFIGURE_SILENT="--silent" makeopts
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools/menuselect'
Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools/menuselect'
CC="" CXX="g++" LD="" AR="" RANLIB="" CFLAGS="" make -C menuselect
CONFIGURE_SILENT="--silent" cmenuselect
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools/menuselect'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `cmenuselect'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools/menuselect'
CC="" CXX="g++" LD="" AR="" RANLIB="" CFLAGS="" make -C menuselect
CONFIGURE_SILENT="--silent" nmenuselect
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools/menuselect'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `nmenuselect'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools/menuselect'
CC="" CXX="g++" LD="" AR="" RANLIB="" CFLAGS="" make -C menuselect
CONFIGURE_SILENT="--silent" gmenuselect
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools/menuselect'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `gmenuselect'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools/menuselect'
No menuselect user interface found. Install ncurses,
newt or GTK libraries to build one and re-rerun
'make menuselect'.
asterix:/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools#
 
The quickest solution for me in the past has been to install the dev tools
required. Delete the dahdi-tools directory and re checkout.
 
I can repeat this, on a headless debian squeeze box, no GUI.
I've just repeated this, just by uninstalling 
   libncurses5-dev 
   libnewt-dev
then take a fresh checkout
    svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/tools/trunk dahdi-tools
then
   ./configure
   make menuselect
      error messages as above are emitted
then
  apt-get install libncurses5-dev 
  apt-get install libnewt-dev 
then
   ./configure
then
   make menuselect
      error messages as above are emitted
 
But now I've spent the time 
  rm menuselect/makeopts
  ./configure
  make menuselect

Subject: [asterisk-users] dahdi_tool missing



Hi All,

 

I have installed newt and newt_devel but dahdi_tool will not
compile/install.  I'm trying this with dahdi-linux-complete-2.5.0.2+2.5.0.2.
does anyone have any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

 

Regards

David.
