Asterisk and termcap

Asterisk and termcap

[Arigead]

was trying to build Asterisk for the OpenMoko Free runner and it failed
on a dependency on termcap so I tried to bitbake termcap first and that
failed. The termcap compile stage is working but it's when it tries to
install that the recipe seems to fail but I'm new to this.

I'm off to read the openembedded documentation again but in the mean
time if anybody can give me a hit that would be great.

We can't help you if you don't post some logs or console output.
Copy-pasting the part where it fails, if it's small, could be enough for
a start.

Denis, the message from Arigead is 3 days old and has already been dealt with.
There is a patch for asterisk from Eric that makes it build fine for me.

Yes sorry if my original post was too vague, but it was a known issue at
the time anyhow. As Frans says the patch was added and is in the feeds
and Asterisk is now building for my target device. Thanks for you help
and pointing out where the problem was.

OK so it means the patch solves your problem. Does asterisk runs fine on 
the target ?

Sorry I'll have to get back to you on that one. I left my OpenMoko (The
Target) at home this morning so can't install the ipk :-(

Actually thinking about it I'd not be too sure if Asterisk was ever
running fine on a mobile phone. Simply wanted to play with it and see
what it could do. There is an OpenMoko wiki page on messing with it so
thought I'd have a look.

Anyhow I'll get back to you when I test it later today or tomorrow if
that's any help.

thanks, before pushing it it would be great if you could test it runs 
fine with the fix.

I saw that later, sorry
I'm dealing with tons of mails because I kept the number of mails
growing during the hollidays.
Sorry.

Asterisk builds and runs fine, but there is one minor problem. I don't
think that it's to do with the recipe but Asterisk itself.

Basically when I try to run asterisk its failing on:

Unable to open pid file '/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid': No such file
or directory

Normally I'd expect the pid file to be saved directly into
"/var/run/asterisk.pid" but asterisk seems to expect another directory.
If I create the directory /var/run/asterisk then all works fine.

Like I say that's not a problem with the recipe, well I'm no expert but
/var is a temp directory so it gets created on boot, so there's no way a
recipe should install there?

Arigaed, thanks for your report!

Either we can create the dir in the recipe (in do_install) or maybe we
can configure it.

Eric, can you peek into that (and if not, can you push your patch so I
can pick this up.

Hi,

consider /var/run as tmpfs so we need the directory creation inside the
startup script.

Shouldn't the init script populate-volatiles.sh be handling this?
