Compiling asterisk 1.6.2.13 fails

Hello,
I know there is a ready-made package that I could install. But thats only version 1.4 and not 1.6. I tried to compile asterisk from scratch, but after a while, it fails with an error:

   [CC] src/add.c -> src/add.o
Assembler messages:
Error: unknown architecture `armv5tel'

Error: unrecognized option -march=armv5tel
src/add.c:1: error: bad value (armv5tel) for -march= switch
make[2]: *** [src/add.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [gsm/lib/libgsm.a] Error 2
make: *** [codecs] Error 2

How can I solve this problem?

You might want to give 1.4 a try anyway, unless there are features only available in 1.6, which IMHO is broken
Digium considers 1.4 a long term support release, as will be 1.8
It seems that they would rather forget all the 1.6 versions as quickly as possible.


Just one long time Asterisk users opinion!

Ok, I understand.
But I need isdn-interconnection with chan_lcr/misdnv2, is this possible in 1.4 already? Or should I wait for 1.8 or even try one of the release candidates?

I was successfully installed both 1.4 and 1.6. For 1.6, I tried upto 1.6.2.11 and settled with 1.6.2.9. I agree 1.4 is probably more stable and uses less RAM. I am right now mainly using 1.4.

Where did you got 1.6?
I just tried the 1.8rc version, it has the same problem compiling the libgsm-stuff because of the architecture.

I followed the instructions in http://forums.plugpbx.org/index.php?topic=109.0 step 3. You can change the Asterisk and other program's version and it should also work but not always.

Hi guys,

I've installed debian squeeze following Jeff's guide.
I was trying to install Asterisk 1.8 using this guide.
When I'm running ./configure I'm getting an error (seems that doesn't have a C compiler or doesn't know where to
find it):

checking build system type... armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi
checking host system type... armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: in `/usr/src/asterisk-1.8.0':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Edit1:
I had to install gcc, g++ and make so far
"./configure" worked but "make" give me some errors (at the end I think)

Assembler messages:
Error: unknown architecture `armv5tel'
Error: unrecognized option -march=armv5tel
src/add.c:1: error: bad value (armv5tel) for -march= switch
make[2]: *** [src/add.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [gsm/lib/libgsm.a] Error 2
make: *** [codecs] Error 2

Edit2:
Now I see somebody else had the same problem with 1.6
Most likely has something to do with the way squeeze identifies the hardware:
root@debian:/usr/src/asterisk-1.8.0# uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.32-5-kirkwood #1 Wed Oct 20 12:58:44 UTC 2010 armv5tel GNU/Linux

I installed Asterisk 1.8 without problem. However, my soft phone/APA adapter cannot register. It says wrong password but there's nothing wrong about it. I used exactly the same sip.conf setting on a-1.6 and 1.4 without problem. Please let me know your experience once you installed it correctly.
I basically followed what given in http://forums.plugpbx.org/index.php?topic=109.0 steps 2 and 3. I don't think all of the files are needed but I did anyway. I didn't install the Kernel files in step 2. Also, I referenced http://www.freepbx.org/forum/freepbx/installation/asterisk-1-8-installation but that is for x86 machines so I don't mainly followed the first one. For gtalk, I used what shown in http://forums.digium.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=75868&sid=afa79921d1c14a77a52a28ba1828e4fb.
I am interested in your results.
BTW, I installed it on Lenny not Squeeze. Not sure if it will make any difference.

To compile asterisk on dockstar, you need to manually change makeopts before you type make.

change PROC=armv5tel to PROC=arm, then run make

Thanks a lot, that did the trick.
I was thinking that string it's the problem but didn't know where to change it :)

I have the same issue asterisk 1.8 on openWRT.
Check this error: https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=18263

./configure --build=arm-gnu-linux
