Updating to 1.2

Asterisk Asterisk Support
#1

I am following this instructions to update to 1.2.24. I do not want to go to 1.4.

I am using a 2 years old version of Asterisk@home.

I copile zaptel with no errors… but when compiling asterisk…

codec_zap.c:681: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
codec_zap.c:682: error: ‘ZT_TRANSCODE_OP’ undeclared (first use in this function)
codec_zap.c:684: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/asterisk-1.2.16/codecs'

I have googled and discovered it is an issue about zaptel and asterisk incompatible versions… i have updated before with no problems but… don’t i have to use same versions of asterisk and zaptel?

Thanks.

that looks like your compiling 1.2.16 not 1.2.24

As of Asterisk 1.2.3 (I think) Asterisk, Zaptel and Asterisk Add-ons used different version numbers because they were released seperately.

If your upgrading you should just jump to Asterisk 1.2.30.2

http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/old-releases/asterisk-1.2.30.2.tar.gz

And Zaptel 1.2.27

http://downloads.digium.com/pub/zaptel/zaptel-1.2.27.tar.gz

and Asterisk Add-Ons 1.2.9

http://downloads.digium.com/pub/asterisk/old-releases/asterisk-addons-1.2.9.tar.gz

it compiled and installed and worked!!!

Thanks.

is add-ons “essential”…?

add-ons are not essential. If you put your CDR in MySQL you should update as thats one portion of add-ons.

By default FreePBX (and by extension Asterisk@Home\Trixbox) puts the CDR into MySQL so you should update add-ons as well.
