Bug#317108: zaptel-source compile errors
David Ananian-Cooper
Version: 1.0.7-4.1
Tags: sarge
Severity: serious
I have just done a fresh install of sarge on a server of mine. I installed the
base packages, then added asterisk, zaptel-source and all its dependancies. I
also installed a bunch of library packages which are apparently needed (i
forget which ones there were.).
I then goto /usr/src, unpack the zaptel.tar.bz2 file and try to compile. It
doesn't compile. I get pages full of errors most of which are variants of the
following:
zaptel.c:5739: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
or
zaptel.c:6107: error: invalid use of undefined type `struct zt_chan'
and there are others too
looking at the zaptel.c source file, it seems as though many of the errors
relate to the static struct zt_chan *chans[ZT_MAX_CHANNELS]; variable defined
on line 336.
When download a fresh 1.0.7 from ftp.digium.com and compile that, I get the
same errors. When I download and compile 1.0.9 that works fine.
Clearly there is some problem with the stable package - which I find somewhat
surprising given that its meant to be stable and work without any problems!
The machine is a P3 933 with 64Mb of RAM (i know - not much - will be getting
more soon!!).
Cheers

Tha's not exactly how you're supposed to build them.
m-a build zaptel
m-a is module-assistant, and is a dependency of zaptel-source.
Or, as a user (preferably in an empty directory)
m-a -u . build zaptel
m-a has some insane defaults. I normally use:
m-a -u . -f -i -t build zaptel
This should give you a better chance of getting the kernel version
passed correctly to the makefile. The original makefile does a pretty
bad job at guessing your kernel source tree.

My own package always built (that is: I always massaged it to building).
The 1.0.7 version is at http://tzafrir.org.il/rapid/
The current 1.0.9 version is at http://tzafrir.org.il/rapid108/unstable/

Shouldn't matter, as long as you have enough swap.

I noticed that the difference is that it uses gcc-3.3 instead of the default
gcc (gcc version 3.3.5)
Cheers,
