Asterisk 1.6.x Quicky
Written on December 5, 2008
A quick configure/make/make install can be had with Ubuntu 8.10 and the latest Asterisk 1.6 drop with the following minimal goodies (steeper requirements if you’re going beyond a SIP VOIP stack):
apt-get install build-essential apt-get install libncurses5-dev apt-get install libssl-dev apt-get install openssh-server
I’ve been using an old Sony Viao TX — don’t forget to tweak your screensaver settings so closing the case “does nothing”, and you can squirrel away your Asterisk server on a bookshelf out of site and out of mind!
