You are right. I deselected app_meetme and asterisk-1.4.18 got compiled/packaged. However, now another problem surfaced when trying to compile asterisk-addons-1.4.6 as shown below:

gzip -dc /opt/tmp/openwrt-svn-trunk/dl/asterisk-addons-1.4.6.tar.gz | /bin/tar -C /opt/tmp/openwrt-svn-trunk/build_dir/mips/asterisk-addons-1.4.6/.. -xf -

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
File to patch:

So far, I had only patched my feeds/packages/net/asterisk-1.4.x with this openwrt-packages-asterisk-1.4.18.patch file. I don't suppose the above error requires this openwrt-packages-asterisk-1.4.18-addons-1.4.6-zaptel-1.4.9.2.patch file.

use the full patch; it'll solve your first problem and it corrects some other stuff; it builds asterisk-1.4.18-2 (instead of 1.4.18-1 for the first patch)

Hans.

If this openwrt-packages-asterisk-1.4.18.patch file is a full patch, then it is the one I have applied to my OpenWRT source and it produced the 2nd error.

no the second one is the full patch: it bundles asterisk, asterisk-addons and zaptel

no, they are not; make sure your build environment is clean; use the build process as literally described before: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=64746#p64746
I just verified those steps once again from yet another new directory: no rejects

or even better, use the pre-compiled packages...

Hans.

Hans, I got asterisk-1.4.18.1 compiled and it is running on my Fonera WiFi router now. Thanks for your help. My problem was due to some backup directory of feed/packages/net/temp/asterisk-1.4.x that I completely forgot about it. So, the error messages of re-applying patches were caused by the 2nd asterisk-addons-1.4.6 compilation from the backup directory. My apology for the hectics caused by this.

BTW, the problem of missing /var/run/asterisk.ctl still persists and can be coped with either the -v or -f switch. Do you know what causes this problem and can it be fixed through its source?

are you using your own compiled image or just the standard 7.09 images with a self-compiled Asterisk ?

Hans.

Hans, my Fonera unit is running with my own compiled asterisk off the OpenWRT SVN trunk with your full patches for asterisk-1.4.18 that you posted on ticket #3196.  I just modified the feeds/packages/net/asterisk-1.4.x/Makefile file to use 1.4.18.1 for PKG_VERSION with a new PKG_MD5SUM and asterisk-1.4.18.1 got patched and compiled with no problem. Thank you for your patches and I appreciated that.

I was asking about the original *image* that you put on it, not the additional packages: was it a downloaded, standard 7.09 image, or a self-compiled image (I mean the squashfs thingy)

Hans.

I am not sure what exactly you were asking about the original *image*; however, if I understood you correctly, I followed this Installing OpenWrt with RedBoot instructions to flash my Fonera unit with my own built OpenWRT firmware from the SVN source tree. This installation calls for a squashfs firmware which I used. The login screen on my Fonera unit and its asterisk-1.4.18.1 CLI are shown below:

The OpenWRT firmware I built for my Fonera unit is a stripped down version with some additional lib packages needed by asterisk-1.4.18.1 and it is pre-configured with a static IP Address of 192.168.1.2, along with a proper NETMASK and DNS servers, into the firmware. Does that answer your question?

Yes; the problem you have is not related to Asterisk in itself: your Asterisk package will work on the pre-built Kamikaze 7.09 images that you can download from here. Building your own image from recent SVN trunk is reported to cause the problem that you currently have.

Hans.

Many thanks Hans for your prompt replies. At least, now I know what causes the problem of missing /var/run/asterisk.ctl. I just hope this problem will get resolved before OpenWRT releases the next version of Kamikazi.

after switching back to uclibc-0.9.28, I could get working asterisk. It also helps other programs like "top". I couldn't stop the process with <CTRL>C using uclib-0.9.29. I could find a bug filled for this issue: http://bugs.uclibc.org/view.php?id=1779.

Thank you Zandbelt.

2) don't know how to compile zaptel14 (it doesn't show in buildroot config; I see only 1.2 package).

Any clue?

Thanks for sharing this information. I recompiled my OpenWRT SVN r10733 + asterisk-1.4.19 (using my own crude patches) with uClibc-0.9.28.2 and now it works (without the -v switch), except some of my jabber/gtalk .conf files are broken and need some fixes.

I didn't encounter any problem to use a <Ctrl-C> to (terminate) get out of top program compiled with either a uClibc-0.9.29 or a uClibc-0.9.28.2 library.

Hello Hans!

When do you plan to compile 1.4.19 asterisk package?

Sincerely
Kirill

I have not planned that; since patches don't get applied in the repository, it has become too cumbersome for me to maintain Asterisk in this way on my own.

Sorry,

Hans.

Why are those patches not appied in the repository ?

Really sorry!

I was waiting for 1.4.19 because of bug http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=11707

Sincerely
Kirill

Hi,
I apologize now if I posted in the wrong place.
I own a Wl700ge with Kamikaze 7.09 kernel 2.4 installed on a usb flashpen so space is not a problem.
I have this installation:

root@Wl700gE:/proc# ipkg list_installed | grep asterisk14
asterisk14 - 1.4.18-2 -

asterisk14-gui - svn-1146-1 -
asterisk14-sounds - 1.4.18-2 -
asterisk14-voicemail - 1.4.18-2 -

I tried to install the most recent version of zaptel /ztdummy I found:
http://members.home.nl/hans.zandbelt/op … mipsel.ipk
Unfortunately when I try cat /proc/zaptel I receive:
