asterisk users - Jun 2005 - Compilation on Debian with support for HFC-chip based ISDN-cards

This is my first posting to the list. Thus hopefully the question has
not been asked several times before...


I'm trying to install asterisk on a PC using Debian Sarge but without
any real success...

Problem: I may get the Asterisk packet (Debian version) installed using
'apt-get install asterisk', but that does not include the bristuff from
Junghanns (http://www.junghanns.net/asterisk/) required for use of
ISDN-cards based on the HFC-chip. Using the installation-file coming
with bristuff I only get thousands of errors.

A ready-to-go installation via CD that supports the HFC-chip is yet not
available. Thus I'm stuck with the things available via CVS or as
Debian-packets.


Is there anybody out there that has successfully installed Asterisk
using Debian Linux and a HFC-based ISDN-card?


Thanks in advance for your pointers.

Kind regards,

Klaus

The asterisk packages, that Debian Sarge provide contain bri-stuff. You
don't need to patch it in. The only problem that is with the Debian
packages is, that the zaphfc module only get's compiled when you build
the modules against a 2.6 kernel. That has allready been reported in a
bug.

Sure. A lot of people. It's commonly used.

So next time when you want to post a new message, don't reply to an
existing one. When you post to an existing one the mailer keeps header 
fields such as References and In-Reply-To to help record the threading.

And now for the answer.

Any bug on those packages should generally be reported to the debian
bugtracking system. E.g: for bugs about building zaptel-modules from 
zaptel-source , see http://bugs.debian.org/zaptel-source , and generally
see http://bugs.debian.org/ .

However I have successfully built them, after some restructuting of the
makefile and with an up-to-date bristuff:
