There are instructions to install from source packages at http://asterfax.sourceforge.net/Installing%20AsterFax.html in the Manual section. Those instructions do refer to installing trixbox and using yum but you can ignore the trixbox instruction and use your favourite package manager. If you can’t locate appropriate versions of packages such as Java, ghostscript and openoffice.org using your package manager then manually locate them, download and install them.

 

When you get to the AsterFax install get the zip file (which I only just made available for rc5) and unzip the file to /usr/lib/asterfax then edit config/AsterFax.xml and bin/ooconvert.sh checking that the paths to ghostscript and openoffice are correct for you install.

 

Most of this is relatively straightforward. The only tricky part is getting spandsp patched.If you use spandsp0.0.2pre26 then AsterFax comes with an already patched app_txfax.c that you can just copy over the existing file and that should work.

 

Let me know how you go.

 

We are planning on providing debs and I’ll add gentoo to that list.

Greetings List,

 

Anyone got this working with Gentoo?  Or at least a howto to run it on systems NOT running trixbox?

 

Thanks,

Don
