asterisk users - Feb 2005 - make of asterisk doesn't do anything...

I just got the latest update from the 1.0 CVS tree this morning.  I was able
to make the zaptel drivers just fine, but in the asterisk directory,
"make"
just sits there.

This is under the 2.4 kernel on a SuSE system which has worked just fine until
now.

I'm making as root, so it's not likely a permission problem.

According to top, grep and cat are running with grep sucking down a huge
amount of processor time.

I did a "make clean" before the make, but that didn't help
anything.

It is a slow machine, but I let it run for like 15m and it hasn't produced
the
first bit of output.

Anyone run into this?

Thanks for any advice...

Michael,

Someone may know a simple fix. If not, can you please install the 
'strace' program, then run:

strace -f -o /tmp/strace.out make

This will run make, and log any system calls it makes to 
/tmp/strace.out. When it hangs, take a look in that file. It may have 
stopped on one system call, such as select() or poll(), or it may be 
scrolling endlessly, repeating the same system calls over and over 
again. If grep is using a lot of processor time, it's probably the 
latter. Either way, please paste the last 20 or lines into an email, and 
post it to this mailing list.

I got this figured out.  Turns out that the make would call mpg123 with a
'version" option to see if it was compatible with *.  However, I've
been
faking out mpg123 with my own script to send raw audio to the device rather
than mp3.  As a result, my infinite cat was being spewed out and the results
were not what make had expected.

Once I rectified that situation, all went just fine.
