I am installing asterisk 18V.

On what distro? And what is the compiler version? (gcc -v)

[cige]

Its Centos 7.

Compler version: gcc gcc-c++

[cige]

Sorry GCC version is : 4.8.5-44

It looks like gcc versions <= 4.9.4 default to supporting -std=gnu90 but the restrict keyword was added in gnu99 which gcc didn’t default to until version 5.5. To get around this, you can add the -std=gnu99 flag to your ./configure command line and it should compile fine with gcc 4.8.

$ ./configure --with-jansson-bundled CFLAGS=-std=gnu99

Mr Gjosef,

Thank you very much. It solved the problem.

You helped me a lot.

OS version in same Centos7.
This helps:
I can confirm, that this helps:

$ ./configure --with-jansson-bundled CFLAGS=-std=gnu99

There is an issue[1] where discussion is happening.
