[App_rpt-users] Using SVN copy of Asterisk on RaspberryPi (and "usb.h")

Fri Oct 12 17:52:47 UTC 2012

If you *REALLY* find it necessary to "roll your own", it is a VERY good idea to
see how its done "normally".

If I were you, I'd look and see how ACID is set up on Centos (take a look at the phase1.sh and
phase2.sh scripts to see what packages get installed in Centos).

To make it even easier for you, perhaps, here is the 'rootstock' command that makes the base distro for
Pickle Linux (ARM, Ubuntu), which obviously has all the package names in the 'Ubuntu/Debian' world:

rootstock --fqdn pickle --imagesize 1G --seed linux-image-omap,build-essential,gdb,alsa,alsa-oss,libasound2-dev,curl,libcurl4-dev,libssl-dev,libz-dev,libusb-dev,libnewt-dev,lsof,nano,ssh,screen,usbutils,wget,gpm,uboot-mkimage,libncurses5,libncurses5-dev,ppp,iptables,udhcpd

The ones which are obviously development-related and the ones that are related to those are the ones you are interested in.

I hope that helps you.

P.S. Dont even bother compiling chan_usbradio. The CPU wont have enough horsepower for the DSP functions. The only way you are
going to even be able to MAYBE use a URI on that is with chan_simpleusb.
