G729 on Asterisk-Win32

[Seraph]

Hi,

I have a copy of Asterisk running on CentOS at the office; the G729
codec runs like a dream (thanks to all who made this possible!)

I have just installed asterisk-win32 to play with and am trying to get
the G729 codec to work. I have tried many versions, and this is what
I get...

[codec_g729-ast12-gcc4-glibc-pentium2.so]Feb 24 09:35:06 WARNING[4036]
loader.c: Permission denied
Feb 24 09:35:06 WARNING[4036] loader.c: Loading module codec_g729-
ast12-gcc4-glibc-pentium2.so failed!

It appears that I am going to have to recompile the source for windows
but I have never done this before, so it will be quite a big learning
curve.

Does anyone have any comments that will help me with my endeavor?

Regards,
Seraph

Asterisk-win32 is 1.2 based, so you need to build the old version from
http://www.readytechnology.co.uk/open/ipp-codecs/
Here are the files
http://asterisk.hosting.lv/mirror/ipp-svn6.diff
http://asterisk.hosting.lv/mirror/l_ipp-sample-speech-coding_p_4.1.008.tgz
To build against IPP 5.x you need to tweak the source a little bit:
ippCoreSomething() -> ippSomething(), IIRC.
Asterisk-win32 port is using Cygwin, so the codec compilation should be quite
painless.
If you wish, I can send you an archive of the tree I used to compile the codecs
for 1.2.
Please contribute the binaries when ready.

Yes please, I think it will help.
