[asterisk-users] chan_h323 and menuselect dependencies problem

[Jose P. Espinal]

Hello List,


I've been trying to compile Asterisk with H.323 support and, after 
correctly installing PTLib and H323plus (OpenH323), the Asterisk 
configure script still doesn't detect the dependencies as installed.

I know they are correctly installed because after going into 
"[asterisk-source-directory]/channels/h323" and issuing a 'make opt', it 
correctly builds everything:

-----
root at slackbox:# make opt
make DEBUG= default_target
make[1]: Entering directory 
`/tmp/asterisk-test/slackbuilds/asterisk-SlackBuild/asterisk-1.4.39/channels/h323'
[CC] ast_h323.cxx
[CC] compat_h323.cxx
[CC] cisco-h225.cxx
[CC] caps_h323.cxx
ar crv libchanh323.a   ./ast_h323.o  ./compat_h323.o  ./cisco-h225.o  
./caps_h323.o
a - ./ast_h323.o
a - ./compat_h323.o
a - ./cisco-h225.o
a - ./caps_h323.o
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/tmp/asterisk-test/slackbuilds/asterisk-SlackBuild/asterisk-1.4.39/channels/h323'
----

Nevertheless, the menuselect application doesn't let me select chan_h323.

Its important to note that if I manually edit menuselect.makedeps and 
menuselect.makeopts in order to manually set chan_h323 support, it does
build chan_h323.o without problems (and install it, after make install), 
but, trying to do it via command line does not work:

 From Asterisk source dir:

# make menuselect.makeopts
# menuselect/menuselect --enable chan_h323 menuselect.makeopts


a. Could this be some problem in the configure script? (where it look 
for dependencies?)
b. What can I do in order to force Asterisk to compile chan_h323 in a 
less 'dirty' way than
      manually editing previously mentioned files? (I have verified that 
in this case, it will not yield any errors)
