I first tried compiling 1.4, which worked fine except that chan_zap.so was not built. Repeated make clean and recompile, same result.
So I cleaned out 1.4 and built 1.2.14 on the same machine and chan_zap.so appeared correctly.
Perhaps there is something in the Makefile that might explain why I can’t compile 1.4 fully? If there is a component missing surely make would stop on error? Anyone else seen this behaviour?
Clean out /usr/lib/asterisk/modules. Then you compile zaptel 1.4 cleanly. Then, in asterisk 1.4, do a ‘make menuconfig’, in there it will tell you of a dependency of chan_zap.
Thanks for the suggestion. I had tried make menuselect, but there are only 11 items in the list, ends at chan_oss. No chan_zap.
i know this is a daft question, but have you compiled (and maybe installed) zaptel 1.4 as well ?
No question is daft when dealing with odd puzzles!
Confirmed, modules directory wiped clean, make clean, reconfig linux26, make, make install on zaptel, in asterisk make clean, make menuselect/menuconfig, same result, no chan_zap. chan_zap.c definitely in source.
Looks like I shall have to remove all traces of asterisk and start from scratch.
have you looked at the configure script itself to see if there’s a command-line option for specifying where to find the zaptel files ?
or does configure generate a log that might give you a clue as to why it’s not available ?
Good suggestion baconbuttie - I pedantically specified in asterisk compile
make clean
./configure --with-zaptel=/usr/src/asterisk/zaptel-1.4.0
make menuselect
now I see 16 options in menuselect, and the last one is chan_zap which has a * so there are no dependencies lacking, at least for chan_zap.
But adding that one parameter to config allowed not only chan_zap to appear in menuconfig but several others as well. I have not sorted out which ones are new, but it is possible that it was choking on a different dependency.
update: chan_zap.so is now compiled, as expected.
