asterisk users - Jul 2014 - compiling dahdi and exporting it to another system

Hello asterisk-users,

 

I need to compile dahdi and then export it to another system. I managed to
do this with DESTDIR=/root/destDir, then make a tar file and extract in / of
the other system. However the module is not loading and /dev/dahdi is not
created. 

 

Anyone done this?

 

Thank you,

Anthony.

Dahdi requires kernel modules, which are compiled for (by default*) the
running kernel. Unless your target system is running the exact same kernel,
and you ensure the modules get loaded, then Dahdi isn't going to run.

* I think it should be possible to compile it for an alternate kernel if
you have the headers, but have never had to do that so....)

Hope this helps.

Are the modules available? What is the output of:

  modinfo dahdi

If not available: On the target system, what is the output of:

  find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name dahdi.ko

If you find dahdi.ko: maybe you forgot to run depmod?

If you don't find it: maybe you built it for an incorrect kernel
version?
