I downloaded app_backticks.c from pbxfreeware.com but I have no idea how to compile it and or add it to the available appications that asterisk uses?
Can anyone help this noob?
[resolved]
moved to the apps dir in the asterisk src.
recompiled asterisk.
moved the new apps to the /usr/lib/asterisk/modules dir and restarted asterisk.
in /usr/src/asterisk/apps (or where your “asterisk/apps” directory is), edit the Makefile, adding app_backticks.so onto the var APPS
put the .c file in this directory, and then recompile asterisk. watch for errors.
