Small little error with compiling h323 for Asterisk

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Mates,

I’m building an Asterisk box for a customer, and they require h323 support, but have hit a small snag. I’ve compiled both pwlib and open323 successfully, but when I enter into /etc/asterisk/channels/h323 and issue make opt, I get this:

Could it be that I’m using a newer version of open323 than what was tested? Do you fellows have a suggestion on what I can do to prevent this error? Thanks much! 8)

what versions did you use ? and what version of Asterisk ?

/goes to see what version he is running !

for asterisk-1.2.10.1
in /${AST_SOURCE_DIR}/channels/h323/README line 12 and 13

[quote]
Tested with Open H.323 version v1.17.1, PWLib v1.9.0 and GCC v3.2.2. Usage of any other versions is not supported.[/quote]
Also installing PWLib and OpenH.323 reqires some environmental variables
I set them in /etc/profile and compile h.323 with no problem.

Thanks for your replies! I actually decided to compile ooh323c from obj-sys.com/open/ooh323c_kits.shtml instead, and it worked great. I can now dial into the customers Avaya system.

To resolve warning issues, you should upgrade your GCC/C++ compilers. 2.96 version coming with old RedHats does not fully support for always_inline option, so it warns about it.

Also, try to use chan_h323 coming with Asterisk 1.4 and up - it have many improvements over pre-1.4 versions, it is very stable and solid.

did someone just discover h323 and decide to bump every old thread they could find ? ffs !

Exactly. :wink:
