Why I make or make install asterisk-1.4.0 that it is Error?

[root@test234 asterisk-1.4.0]# make


**** The configure script must be executed before running ‘make’.


make: *** [makeopts] Error 1
[root@test234 asterisk-1.4.0]# make install


**** The configure script must be executed before running ‘make’.


make: *** [makeopts] Error 1

Please support me to resolve this problem.

as is said in the assorted text files that ship with the 1.4.0 release, and as the “error” says, you should be running “./configure” within the Asterisk source directory before attempting to compile. then follow that with a “make menuselect” to select the apps/function/channel-drivers/sound-file-packages you want, then run “make” to compile and “make install” t install.

the same applies to 1.4 releases of zaptel and asterisk-addons, but not to libpri.

Thanks a lot,baconbuttie. :smiley:
You help me very much.
