Asterisk 1.2
Ok, installing Asterisk 1.2 on my FreeBSD box at home. Let’s see how this goes.
As expected, libpri and zaptel do not compile nor install on FreeBSD. That’s not something I can fix currently. The zaptel dummy drivers are needed for conference calling and some other things. We’ll have to wait for the ports to become available for those then.
I also want to check out AstBill. Not because of the billing features but because of the REALTIME configuration support.
A quick gmake install and gmake samples and asterisk -c comes up and is working.
So asterisk install is quick and painless, but until we get those libpri and zaptel libs some features are missing.
AstBill requires MySQL 5.12 and I’m not installing that on my dev server(have other dev things going on). So that will have to wait for another time.
I’ll set up Asterisk to use REALTIME later and post about it, using MySQL and I’ll find something to configure it with.
More later!
