On Wednesday 29 Jul 2015, Murthy Gandikota wrote: Hi All,As Downloaded latest version of Asterisk from www.asteriskwin32.com and installed on Windows 7. Why? Trying to get Asterisk to run on Windows is like trying to teach a gerbil to bark. It's an extraordinary effort, and the result is unlikely to do anything other than disappoint. * Asterisk was designed from the outset to run on Unix-like systems, and has certain design decisions baked into it that preclude it from building on legacy systems such as Windows without serious modifications. Any version of Asterisk that has been persuaded to run on Windows will be behind the curve, and missing the latest and greatest features. * Asterisk, even on its native Linux platform where all the bits work properly, is harder to use than Linux. The supposed advantage of not needing to learn to use Linux is negated by the steeper learning curve of Asterisk. * Asterisk doesn't make too many demands of hardware, except for preferring to have its hardware all to itself. You can try it out on a scrap PC (available free almost anywhere) at first and then, if you like it, install it on a dedicated machine. If you don't need dedicated PCI / PCI express hardware, then you can even run Asterisk on something like a Raspberry Pi. If you want to run Asterisk, then you might as well bite the bullet and run it on Linux. Also, forget about pre-compiled packages, just build it from Source Code. -- AJS Note: Originating address only accepts e-mail from list!
