Anyone know if UniMRCP supports Ubuntu 20.04?

[d...@amtelco.com]

We are using UniMRCP with Asterisk.  Some of our customers have started to ask about using it with Ubuntu 20.04.

Anyone know if this is supported or will it require a new UniMRCP release?

Have a good day!

Dan

Hi Dan

You can try packages for ubuntu 18.if it fails. you must use ubuntu18 or you must wait for release

thanks

Hi Dan,

An attempt to quickly compile all the components revealed a minor compilation problem in the dependencies, which can be easily addressed. No thorough testing has been performed on Ubuntu 20.04 so far.

Thank you Arsen and Vahagn.

At this point, I think we will migrate from Ubuntu 16 to 18.  Arsen, you did the work for us to migrate to 18 over 1 year ago.  So many priority changes where I'm at that we are finally getting around to upgrading.

[Arsen Chaloyan]

Well, Dan. Glad to notice you are getting closer to upgrading to 18.04. Packages for both xenial and bionic are in a good standing. Perhaps the latter is gaining more popularity and sometime in 2021 we may retire binary packages built for 16.04 in favor of 20.04.

Tried the standard install (and the resinstall) idea with the most votes, but it's still not solving it.

libexpat is present, it's just the libexpat.la file is missing.

[Arsen Chaloyan]

Dan,

Let's first identify whether you have the UniMRCP client library and its dependencies built from source or use the binaries for Ubuntu 18.04.

Binary Packages

Using the binaries should be straightforward. In this case, you should not have to care about the dependencies as all the packages are installed implicitly. The procedure to build UniMRCP modules for Asterisk would be

sudo apt-get install unimrcp-client-dev

./configure --with-unimrcp=/opt/unimrcp

In fact, on my dev server for bionic, I have

apt list --installed | grep expat

libexpat1/bionic-security,bionic-updates,now 2.2.5-3ubuntu0.2 amd64 [installed]
libexpat1-dev/bionic-security,bionic-updates,now 2.2.5-3ubuntu0.2 amd64 [installed,automatic]

Building from Source

Building from source is a bit tricky. In this case, it would be advisable to use the version of the expat library bundled/installed with the APR-util library. I can elaborate further if this is what you want to achieve.

Could you elaborate on how to use the expat library with apr-util?

I do have libaprutil1 installed and it's the latest package.

[Arsen Chaloyan]

Dan,

If you have the dependencies built from source, then the expat library is supposed to be installed in /usr/local/apr with the following layout

ldd /usr/local/unimrcp/lib/libunimrcpclient.so
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffeb9596000)
        libapr-1.so.0 => /usr/local/apr/lib/libapr-1.so.0 (0x00007f57e2a19000)
        libaprutil-1.so.0 => /usr/local/apr/lib/libaprutil-1.so.0 (0x00007f57e27f3000)
        libsofia-sip-ua.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libsofia-sip-ua.so.0 (0x00007f57e2468000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f57e20ca000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f57e1cd9000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f57e1aba000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f57e18b6000)
        libexpat.so.0 => /usr/local/apr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x00007f57e1686000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f57e144e000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f57e2ea6000)

In your case, though, it seems that the linker does not observe the path /usr/local/apr/lib. Have you tried to issue ldconfig after installing the dependencies.

sudo ldconfig

I compile the unimrcp, but based on this I believe I'm not installing dependencies from source.

For some background, this was a box that compiled asterisk and asterisk-unimrcp 1.5.2 on Ubuntu 16.04.  I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 and changed to asterisk-unimrcp 1.7.0.  I have tried both 1.5.2 and 1.7.0 but both are failing.

Is there a step I'm missing?

Dan

[Vahagn Kocharyan]

Hi Dan

Verify your asterisk moduls directory or try  'module load  res_speech_unimrcp.so' in asterisk cli. Maybe your moduls directory is  /usr/lib64/asterisk/modules     or do ./configure --prefix=your/asterisk/module/directory.  when build asterisk from source or copy res_speech_unimrcp.so to your modules directory

Thanks

Hi Vahagn,

Because we have needed to submit changes to asterisk several times, we build asterisk from scratch.

The steps I go through are to compile asterisk, then compile asterisk-unimrpc, then compile asterisk one more time now that the real asterisk-unimrcp is done.

In the steps I'm doing, I do successfully compile asterisk the first time, but it's failing the asterisk-unimrcp build.

At this point, I don't really have a working asterisk on the box because I need to get the asterisk-unimrcp to build before making a real asterisk with the unimrcp.

Hi Dan,

> Because we have needed to submit changes to asterisk several times, we build asterisk from scratch.

Since you build your own version of Asterisk, the asterisk-unimrcp package has to be built from source too. However, you can still use binaries for the UniMRCP client and the dependencies. And this is what I referred to in one of my previous posts by providing instructions for Binary Distribution.

Sorry, but after running 

./configure --with-unimrcp=/opt/unimrcp

have you used

make

sudo make install

The procedure above should work unless something is really screwed up after the upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04.

I suggest we work on this interactively tomorrow. Maybe you can give me access to the box to take a look. It should not last long. Please contact me offline or write to sup...@unispeech.io
