Asterisk 13.20 - installation problem

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi,
I am installing latest asterisk 13 version (asterisk-13.20.0.tar.gz 15-Mar-2018 14:05) from the following url:
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/

I already had 13.18 installed on a centOs 7. But I decided to uninstall it and do a fresh 13.20 install.
I kept the pjproject-2.3 from previous installation and just tried to install newest 13.20 version.

Steps:
-1------------ uninstall previous asterisk version

  • make uninstall (on previous asterisk installation folder after stopping asterisk service)
    -2----------- update libs
  • yum update
  • yum install -y epel-release dmidecode gcc-c++ ncurses-devel libxml2-devel make wget openssl-devel newt-devel kernel-devel sqlite-devel libuuid-devel gtk2-devel jansson-devel binutils-devel
    -3----------- build pjproject-2.3
  • cd /usr/src/pjproject-2.3
  • ./configure CFLAGS="-DNDEBUG -DPJ_HAS_IPV6=1" --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-shared --disable-video --disable-sound --disable-opencore-amr
  • make dep && make && make install
  • ldconfig
    -4---------- build asterisk 13.20
  • cd /usr/src/asterisk-13.20.0
  • ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64
  • make menuselect
  • make =====> ERROR BELOW

  1. Do you have any idea why I am getting this error?
  2. Is there anything wrong in my installation steps?
  3. Is it ok to use pjproject-2.3 ?

Thanks in advance.

PJSIP was not built correctly for the 64-bit system, and 2.3 is very old. You should use bundled[1] instead which will yield the best experience.

Thanks Joshua,
I added the pjproject-bundled to configure
./configure --with-pjproject-bundled --libdir=/usr/lib64

It is building now.

@jcolp. What is the difference between a certified version and a non-certified version ?
Should I consider that non-certified version as a release candidate or beta version ?

Howdy,

A good description of Certified Asterisk is here:
