Environment

• Operating Systems
  • Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo, Suse)
  • Mac OS X
  • FreeBSD
  • NetBSD
  • OpenBSD

Prerequisites

• The development environment for your platform or distribution. Typically gcc and associated tools. These are installed by default on some platforms and are others must be downloaded. On some platforms you have to buy them.

• CallWeaver here is a good place to get it: http://devs.callweaver.org/trunk_snapshots/ Typically, the most recent release available is preferred.
• SpanDSP from http://www.soft-switch.org/downloads/spandsp/
  • SpanDSP
    • Requires libtiff
• Vale 0.0.2 from http://www.soft-switch.org/downloads/vale/ (only for trunk)

• Optional (usually means the library and the development modules)
  • Unicall
  • Zaptel
  • Speex
  • Postgres
  • MySQL
  • Kernel 2.6.21

Building

• Make sure you have libtiff-dev or libtiff-devel
• Download, build and install spandsp (configure, make install)
• Update or create /etc/ld.so.conf to include the directory spanDSP was installed in (/usr/local/lib by default – use ./configure options to change if you wish)

• For easiest results, download a release or the latest package, here:
• untar the package
• Set Configure options. *Add missing libraries
• Make
• Make Install

Configuring

The primary configuration files can be found (unless you changed the location) in /usr/local/etc/callweaver.

The first ones you will be concerned with are extensions.conf, iax.conf and sip.conf.
