asterisk users - Mar 2012 - Installing Dahdi, libpri of different versions in one pc

Hi,

I would like to install Dahdi, libpri and Asterisk of different versions in
one machine. Lets say, Asterisk 1.6.X, Asterisk 1.8.x and Asterisk 1.4.x to
be installed in one machine, this can be done using prefix while building
configure.

For dahdi, libpri can it be done in same way? Because I need to test
telephony cards (PRI, BRI, GSM & Transcoding) with different versions of
Asterisk, libpri and Dahdi, I can't remove and install again of each
versions since it is time consuming, sicne there are lot of versions
available.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Take a look at contrib/scripts/live_ast in the source tree of Asterisk.
It's intended to run a "private" copy of Asterisk. There's
also support
there for using "private" copies of libpri and DAHDI if you actually
need that.

Alternatively, build every combination in its own chroot.

In both cases, DAHDI kernel modules you actually load are system-global.

Why would you want to even bother testing EOL products, such as 1.4x and 
1.6.x.x?

Although I am a 1.4 Luddite, I really don't quite understand why you 
can't test with 1.8.x or 10, where you mihgt have a hope of getting 
something fixed if there is a problem, unless you already KNOW there is 
an issue with later versions.
