Faxing with rx and tx fax

To enable sending and receiving of faxes in Asterisk 1.4.x using the rxfax and txfax application you must install the exact component versions as below. If you install a newer version of the agx-ast-addons then the install may not work as the dependencies listed in the document may have changed. The package also inclueds faxdetect, backgrounddetect and confcall as a meetme replcacement that supports video.

yum install libtiff-devel glib2 glib2-devel

Installing SpandDSP 0.0.6 pre 12

cd /usr/src
wget http://www.soft-switch.org/downloads/spandsp/spandsp-0.0.6pre12.tgz
tar xvzf spandsp-0.0.6pre12.tgz
cd spandsp-0.0.6

echo /usr/local/lib/ >> /etc/ld.so.conf

./configure
make
make install
ldconfig

The agx-ast-addons components have a script which simplifies the install process. The unfortunate part is that the script uses cmake and not the OS’s inbuilt make application. Because of this we need to install cmake.

cd /usr/src
wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/cmake-2.6.4.tar.gz
tar cmake-2.6.4.tar.gz
cd cmake-2.6.4
./bootstrap
make
make install
