Asterisk 1.2.5 on Mac OSX Tiger 'dial' does not work

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hello,

I use the self-compiled Asterisk 1.2.5 on Linux (2.6.15.4) and the same source on Mac OSX (10.4.5).

So I can find differences.
The Linux version works fine. The Mac OSX version had some minor (as I thing) issues on “make install” (‘sed -r’ doesn’t work on Darwin).

The main problem on Mac OS X is that ‘dial’ doesn’t work.

I found out the following:

  • The file ‘app_dial.so’ is loaded and shown with
    *CLI> show modules
    but not shown with
    *CLI> help
  • I diffed the “help” outputs from Linux and Mac OSX and found the following differences:
15,16d14
<                    answer  Answer an incoming console call
<                autoanswer  Sets/displays autoanswer

181d172

183d173
<                    unmute  Enable mic input

However on the console I find also:

[app_dial.so] => (Dialing Application) == Registered application 'Dial' == Registered application 'RetryDial'
Any ideas?

Markus – Did you ever get a fully successful compile? I have an PowerMac G4 that is not being used and am thinking about putting Asterisk on it.
