If you intend to use -any analogue PSTN hardware such as a DigiumTDM400P or plan on implementing -a key system which uses the app_meetme conferencing plugin you will need to -install the dahdi-linux and dahdi-tools software and drivers before compiling -Asterisk. If you will instead use digital telephony hardware (not IP phones) -such as T1/E1 lines or a PRI, you'll need to install libpri, again before -compiling Asterisk. - -Be sure to see /usr/doc/asterisk-13.13.1/sample_confs/ after installation -for any additional configuration files you may need. - -If you have plans of using Asterisk with a database backend you may want to -install the alembic package. Since version 12.0 the database schemas that -Asterisk uses are being captured in the form of python script files that use -alembic to create/update database schemas. The asterisk package places these -database scripts in the /usr/doc/asterisk-13.13.1/ast-db-manage directory. - -This build script supports the following flags: - - * MOH : [default = no] - - Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to include some royalty-free - music on hold sound files with your installation. Setting this option - will cause the build to download some sound files from the internet. - - * SOUNDS_EXTRA : [default = no] - - Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to include the extra sound package - with your installation. Setting this option will cause the build to - download some sound files from the internet. - - * VM_ODBC : [default = no] - - Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to store your voicemail messages - in a database. This plugin requires the unixODBC package. This flag will - override the VM_IMAP flag if both are set to 'yes'. You will probably want - to install the alembic package to configure your database with the latest - database schemas for Asterisk. - - * VM_IMAP : [default = no] - - Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to store your voicemail messages - on an IMAP server. This plugin requires the University of Washingtons - IMAP server source. This flag will be overridden by the VM_ODBC flag if - both are set to 'yes'. - - * G711_NEW : [default = no] - - Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to use the newer G711 codec code. - This requires a more powerful machine than would be normally required. - - * MEETME : [default = no] - - Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to build the app_meetme plugin. - This plugin is required for key style systems and conferencing using meetme. - This plugin requires the dahdi-linux package for timing purposes. - -Optional dependencies: alembic, dahdi-complete, libpri, unixODBC, pjsip. +Asterisk is an open source framework for building communications +applications.
