Building Asterisk/chan_usbradio/App_rpt for Ubuntu 14.04
All, I've just purchased a couple of DMK Engineering URI units and wanted to use them to hook up radios at my station for remote control. I am somewhat disappointed to find that chan_usbradio and App_rpt seems to have been pruned from the current Asterisk trunk - apparently because nobody maintained it in 3+ years ...? I have an Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit server in the shack and has expected to just: apt-get install asterisk apt-get install asterisk-app_rpt or some such similar commands but to no avail. Ok, I think - I'll go and grab some source and build it ... I started with Asterisk-1.6.2.24 believing that to be old enough ... Asterisk's "make menuselect" has App_rpt listed but with unsatisfied dependencies - likewise chan_usbradio. I've spent half-an-hour googling and I seem to be able to find complete Centos based distros, but I don't seem to be able to find any concise information on where to get a source tree that I can use for Asterisk/chan_usbradio/App_rpt ... there just seem to be half-built or half-out-of-date websites out there ... Can anyone point me in the right direction? Mike G8TIC
Did you try this? ACID Distrobution for x86 systems <http://dl.allstarlink.org/installcd/acid_centos.iso> Source is here http://x.allstarlink.org/svn-trunk.tar.gz and here http://svn.ohnosec.org/viewvc/projects/allstar/astsrc-1.4.23-pre/trunk/?root... <http://svn.ohnosec.org/viewvc/projects/allstar/astsrc-1.4.23-pre/trunk/?root=svn> -- Tim :wq

Digium abandoned features that allowed app_rpt to even be CAPABLE of working LONG ago!! That "issue" is being "dealt with". Jim, WB6NIL

I built Allstar for Ubuntu as an experiment almost a year ago just to prove it could work. In my limited testing it worked but it is NOT a good solution. I guess I would ask why do you want to do it? The problem is that Ubuntu dropped oss support several years ago. So you have to get the headers and kernel source and compile it back in. Then you have a custom kernel. The next time there is an update, which is fairly often, you will have to recompile the kernel. Not to mention you would need to recompile Dahdi also. You would need to use Dahdi. In short it would not be a good solution and certainly not for a distribution. You want to run Asterisk Allstar on a dedicated system where you can control updates and the OS directly supports OSS. Debian, Centos, ArchLinux, etc. to name a few. Also the code runs great on the beaglebone black and raspberry Pi 2 and that is a very cheap, low power alternative. Down the line the OSS requirement may be eliminated but for right now it is required. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio
