[asterisk-users] Recompile Asterisk

[Danny Nicholas]

The "safest" (IMO) method for installing new settings would be to download
1.4.13 (if you can find that old of an archive) and build it on another
machine, then copy the needed .so modules to /usr/local/asterisk/modules on
your running machine.  You should be able to see if it was compiled or built
from an rpm by doing "show version" from CLI.

I'm sorry if I gave conflicting information but I didn't setup this specific
freepbx/asterisk and I'm not sure if it was compiled from source, probably
not, but I'll have to double check it the person that installed it. I know
that I currently running asterisk 1.4.13 + FreePBX
2.9.0.7 on  CentOS 5 x64.
I need to compile app_mp4 and I've read that I need to compile asterisk from
source in order to achieve this, does this make any sense ?
I'm following a tutorial on how to compile app_mp4  at
http://web.archive.org/web/20090322060930/http://sip.fontventa.com/content/v
iew/15/44/,
but I'm afraid to go ahead and lose my current freepbx/asterisk settings.
I'm pretty new to asterisk, based on this, some of my questions may not the
the million dollar questions..., basically, what I need is to install the
app_mp4 and several others apps and make sure the system config (extensions,
trunks, etc) is preserved.
any good advises ?

Thank you all,
regards
LL
