Luigi,
There are a few hacks I've done in the past to get OpenPBX to build
on FreeBSD. To be honest, it involves a lot of symlinks due to the
way the ports collection manages multiple versions of the auto* and
libtool bits.
This is all from memory, so correct where necessary; it'll give you
a pretty good starting point, and yes it is definitely a poor hack.
I too do not understand the auto* tools well enough to do it properly,
even after spending a few hours wading through info(1) pages, I'm
still not getting it.
You will need libtiff installed, and you will need to grab the proper
version of spandsp and install that, at least.
The general idea is like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ln -s /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash
cd /usr/local/share
mkdir aclocal.backup
cp -Rp aclocal aclocal.backup/
cp -Rp aclocal19 aclocal.backup/
mv aclocal19/* aclocal/
ln -s /usr/local/bin/aclocal19 /usr/local/bin/aclocal
ln -s /usr/local/bin/autoconf259 /usr/local/bin/autoconf
ln -s /usr/local/bin/autoheader259 /usr/local/bin/autoheader
ln -s /usr/local/bin/automake19 /usr/local/bin/automake
ln -s /usr/local/bin/libtool15 /usr/local/bin/libtool
ln -s /usr/local/bin/libtoolize15 /usr/local/bin/libtoolize15
[cd ...../OpenPBX-From-SVN]
./bootstrap.sh
export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That should get you close. I'll retry it later on one of my dev
machines and make corrections to the list if I'm not swamped.

# FWIW this is my major concern with auto* tools - more often than

#
# FWIW this cut&paste programming approach is also giving us (or at
# least me) a lot of work to try and clean up asterisk sources.
