Linux of course and a smattering of folks on OSX doing the odd thing./me is an odd developer occasionally doing odd things on OS X. If anyone wants to improve Asterisk on any non-Linux system, a good place to start is to run it with some of the common developer flags enabled (pass --enable-dev-mode to configure, enable DO_CRASH, enable the TEST_FRAMEWORK and run the tests). The increased warning level on GCC catches a few portability bugs, that are usually straightforward to fix. The tests can be harder, since you don?t know if it?s a problem in the test itself, or in Asterisk. Unfortunately, I doubt the Python test suite would run on non-Linux. I don?t even bother trying to run it on Ubuntu; I have a CentOS VM specifically for running the test suite to avoid platform problems. -- David M.

Most issues you will run into are just making sure the dependencies are set up correctly. It does require Python 2.6+ (recommended: Python 2.7 just in case something has slipped in that we missed.) -- Matthew Jordan Digium, Inc. | Engineering Manager 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - USA Check us out at: http://digium.com & http://asterisk.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In managed to make it into Jessie. It still misses quite a few things. It would be a good start running it there. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com
