Installing Asterisk 1.6.x
OK, Asterisk 1.6.0 is out and I'm going to take the plunge. I am going to document my steps below. The following is based on CentOS 5.2 as been installed with the minimal components including the development tools.
The First thing I did was to download the Asterisk source files.
Asterisk 1.6.0.1 DAHDI Linux 2.0.0 DAHDI Tools 2.0.0 Addons 1.6.0
I did not download and install the Libpri package as I don't have any primary rate cards installed on my system.
dahdi-linux
DAHDI (stands for Digium Asterisk Hardware Device Interface) is the replacement for Zaptel. As I have an X100P card installed into my system I need to install the Linux driver. If you do not have any telecommunications cards installed you will not need to install the module.
tar xvzf dahdi-linux-2.0.0.tar.gz cd dahdi-linux-2.0.0 make make install
dahdi-tools
tar xvzf dahdi-tools-2.0.0.tar.gz cd dahdi-tools-2.0.0 ./configure make menuselect make make install make config
Once the above is done we need to edit /etc/dahdi/modules and make sure that only the required dahdi module(s) is/are loaded.
asterisk
faxing prerequisites
If you would like to be able to use faxing capabilities with Asteirsk you need to install a few packages so that Asterisk can build the faxing components.
First fo all edit the file /etc/ld.so.conf and add the line /usr/local/lib/
yum install libtiff-devel wget http://www.soft-switch.org/downloads/spandsp/spandsp-0.0.5pre4.tgz zcat spandsp-0.0.5pre4.tgz | tar xf - cd spandsp-0.0.5 ./configure make make install ldconfig
installation
tar xvzf asterisk-1.6.0.1.tar.gz cd asterisk-1.6.0.1 ./configure make menuselect make make install make samples make config
asterisk-addons
prerequisite
One of the main features of the asterisk-addons is the ability to log CDR to mysql. I found that mysql is required to be started for the addons to recognise the requirement of mysqlclienttools.
If you are not interested in logging CDR to mysql then this step is not required.
yum install mysql-server mysql-devel service mysqld start chkconfig mysqld on
installation
tar xvzf asterisk-addons-1.6.0.tar.gz cd asterisk-addons-1.6.0 ./configure make menuselect make make install make samples
