Hello George, Hope this finds you well! I wonder if there has been any progress on this matter?
I've been working to have Asterisk running on CentOS 8 and our jump from CentOS 6 to 8 doesn't look too bad.... The missing packages found are: gmime-devel, iksemel-devel, corosynclib-devel, libresample-devel, hoard and python-devel. Python-devel could be replaced by python2-devel or python3-devel (python36-devel), but I am not sure if there is any python incompatibility... gmime-devel, iksemel-devel and hoard seems of no use (and they were already missing for CentOS 6 too), so only corosynclib (if you are using it) and libresample may be a problem.... Does anyone knows what is the use of libresample-devel package? Just to share the experience so far, to build Asterisk it is needed to install the epel-release and enable PowerTools. By ignoring the missing packages, the compilation works and we can start Asterisk. My only concern was about the libresample-devel because in the past I think its absence caused issues when loading/starting pjsip modules, but it didn't happen this time (but I am not using pjsip, I just loaded it with the sample config files).... Following on and making Asterisk a systemd service instead of using init.d, I first checked the service file under contrib/systemd but it seems to serve a different purpose, so it could not be used. Instead a very simple one does the job. Just make sure your exec cmd does not have the '-c' option (used in safe_asterisk), because this was causing me a 100% CPU usage (related to this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/191621/systemd-service-using-100-of-my-cpu-when-it-doesnt-if-i-start-it-without-syste/368037#368037 ) Be aware that SELinux may cause permissions and access problems when running as systemd service.... It took me a whole day to figure out that under our configuration (that have included files outside the /etc/asterisk folder) the "problem" was SELinux. Finally, configure firewalld to allow the SIP and RTP ports and you should be ready to go. Also, we are using rpmbuild to create an Asterisk package. rpmbuild (or new red hat policies) is more strict and now complains about the python shebangs that do not have a version (files contrib/script/ref*.py -> what is this used for??). When using the DONT_OPTMIZE flag the compiler warns for every single file saying, so it is quite annoying but does not to cause issues: /usr/include/features.h:381:4: warning: #warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with optimization (-O) [-Wcpp]. Anyway, these problems do not happen if you manually build with the simple configure and make commands.
