Certainly not an expert, but I seriously doubt you will be able to use
Skype for asterisk with AstLinux, unless ( and even then ) you roll your
own.
AFAIK, AstLinux doesn't have a compiler in the img, and uses different
libraries to build when you do roll your own.

Hi,
I want to buy and install Skype for Asterisk, but before to try I just
want to be shure I use the right procedure.
I have Astlinux 0.7.2 installed:
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 127.7M 33.9M 93.8M 27% /oldroot/cdrom
/dev/hda2 1.8G 44.5M 1.6G 3% /oldroot/mnt/asturw
I figured out that files in /root disappear after a reboot and I dont
want to have the same with a bought license.. ;-)
What should I do to ?adapt? the standard installation instructions to
use on Astlinux?
Thanks,
Maarten
The procedure to install Skype for Asterisk (from digium) is as follows:
===[ Installation Instructions for Source-based Asterisk ]=====================
1) Download the 'register' tool to generate a valid license from:
http://downloads.digium.com/pub/register/linux/register
As an example, logged in as root:
cd ~
wgethttp://downloads.digium.com/pub/register/linux/register
2) Make the downloaded file executable by running:
chmod 500 ~/register
3) Run the register tool and follow the interactive instructions. Internet
access is required from your Asterisk server in order to register your
Skype For Asterisk key for use. Outgoing network traffic to TCP port 443
(SSL) must be allowed in order for the register utility to successfully
communicate with Digium's license server and complete the registration
process. The registration utility will prompt you for your Skype For
Asterisk license key.
As an exmple:
~/register
4) Download Skype For Asterisk from:
http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/skypeforasterisk
Navigate the subdirectories choosing the versions that match the version of
Asterisk already installed on the target machine and the architecture of the
Linux distribution that is installed.
5) Extract and install Skype For Asterisk. For example, if the file downloaded
is for a 32-bit install on Asterisk 1.4 and the version of Skype For
Asterisk is 0.9.12, the commands for installation (as root) would be:
tar -xvzf skypeforasterisk-1.4_0.9.12-x86_32.tar.gz
cd skypeforasterisk-1.4_0.9.12/
make
make install
make samples
6) Asterisk must be restarted in order to load your new Skype for Asterisk
licensed channels.
asterisk -rx "restart when convenient"
Notes:
- Asterisk will automatically restart once there are no active calls.
7) Verify that Skype For Asterisk is loaded and properly licensed by running
the Asterisk CLI command:
===[ Backup Instructions ]=====================================================
** It is VERY IMPORTANT to backup the license(s) generated by your system.
The /var/lib/asterisk/licenses directory contains the Host-ID specific
license files for your system. These license files are tied to the MAC
address of all the ethernet devices installed in your system. Creating a
backup of this directory will allow you to restore your Skype For Asterisk
license file in case you need to reinstall your operating system. This will
help prevent you from needing to contact Digium to request authorization to
increment your Skype For Asterisk key and from needing to purchase a new Skype
For Asterisk key if you exceed the maximum number of Skype For Asterisk key
increments allowed.
