First, thanks James for your Digium D40 SIP Phone review. We appreciate you telling us how you really feel. :-) Possibly Yealink, Polycom, etc. may/will license DPMA from Digium in the future ?
The rest of this reply belongs on the [Astlinux-devel] list, so pardon me for cross-posting... For fun, I compiled Certified Asterisk 1.8.11-cert7 in AstLinux, here are the asterisk.mk changes required to do so... user@debian:~/astlinux/1.0$ svn diff -- Index: package/asterisk/asterisk.mk =================================================================== --- package/asterisk/asterisk.mk (revision 5700) +++ package/asterisk/asterisk.mk (working copy) @@ -10,15 +10,15 @@ ASTERISK_VERSION := 1.6.2.21 else ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_ASTERISK_v1_8),y) -ASTERISK_VERSION := 1.8.16.0 +ASTERISK_VERSION := 1.8.11-cert7 else ASTERISK_VERSION := 11.0.0-beta2 endif endif endif -ASTERISK_SOURCE := asterisk-$(ASTERISK_VERSION).tar.gz -ASTERISK_SITE := http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases -ASTERISK_DIR := $(BUILD_DIR)/asterisk-$(ASTERISK_VERSION) +ASTERISK_SOURCE := certified-asterisk-$(ASTERISK_VERSION).tar.gz +ASTERISK_SITE := http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/certified-asterisk/releases +ASTERISK_DIR := $(BUILD_DIR)/certified-asterisk-$(ASTERISK_VERSION) ASTERISK_BINARY := main/asterisk ASTERISK_TARGET_BINARY := usr/sbin/asterisk ASTERISK_EXTRAS := -- It built fine and executes as expected. BUT, it appears "libavahi-client" is also required, (Yuck, adds several more packages and dependencies), add as follows: $ make menuconfig -- Package Selection for the target ---> Networking applications ---> [*] avahi [ ] IPv4LL network address configuration daemon (NEW) [ ] mDNS/DNS-SD daemon (NEW) Package Selection for the target ---> Hardware handling ---> [*] dbus XML library to use (libxml2) ---> [ ] dbus-glib -- Finally, ./scripts/build Then, in theory (I haven't tried it), "purchase" for $0.00, License, Digium Phone Module for Asterisk: http://store.digium.com/productview.php?category_id=196&product_code=804-00032 and follow whatever instructions it suggests for installing the proprietary binary. If anyone successfully uses this, please report results.
