Asterisk-sounds newbie question

I’m trying to install asterisk and have a question.

I’m using the command:
svn co svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk/sounds asterisk-sounds

As I understand it, this is suppose to be fairly large but it only gets two files (makefile sounds.xml).

Is this correct or should I be getting the sounds from a different place? I’ve looked around but can’t find any other source.

Howdy,

If you’re compiling Asterisk 1.4…

Having run:
./configure
make menuconfig

You’ve got options then for Core Sounds Packages and Extra Sounds Packages. The spacebar will select the current line, and you can use the “x” key to escape and save your changes.

Then, you can simply:

make
make install

If you’d rather just download the sound files yourself, the tarballs are contained at this location:

downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/sounds/

Cheers.
