Description:	I'm testing the usage of opal instead of pwlib+openh323 . At first glance it seems that it will at least build once I apply some brute-force to configure.ac . (This description is to be updated later. Documenting what I have now) Patch works, however I get the same symptom as in issue ASTERISK-15938: chan_h323.so fails to load, as it was not linked with the relevant libraries.
Comments:	By: Tzafrir Cohen (tzafrir) 2010-04-24 06:20:43 Added a minimal patch to allow ./configure to work (without an error) if a newer pwlib is included. Without it, the configure process complains about the "command" '--ldflags'. By: Tzafrir Cohen (tzafrir) 2010-04-25 02:30:01 Uploaded newer version: opal_configure_2.diff Slightly less brute-force (except the changes in configure.ac). It still has a few debugging comments left. However, the configure script now fails in the following way (from config.log) configure:20858: checking OpenH323 installation validity configure:20902: g++ -o conftest -g -O2  -DP_64BIT=1 -DPTRACING=1 -D_REENTRANT - D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -fno-exceptions -I/usr/include/opal -I/usr/include/SDL    conftes t.cpp -lm  -lopal -lpt -lpthread -lrt -lsasl2 -lldap -llber -lldap_r -lssl -lcry pto -lexpat -lSDL -lodbc -lresolv -ldl -lspeexdsp   -lpt -lpthread -lrt -lsasl2 -lldap -llber -lldap_r -lssl -lcrypto -lexpat -lSDL -lodbc -lresolv -ldl   >&5 conftest.cpp: In function 'int main()': conftest.cpp:283: error: no matching function for call to 'H323EndPoint::H323End Point()' /usr/include/opal/h323/h323ep.h:97: note: candidates are: H323EndPoint::H323EndP oint(OpalManager&) /usr/include/opal/h323/h323ep.h:85: note:                 H323EndPoint::H323EndP oint(const H323EndPoint&) configure:20902: $? = 1 By: Russell Bryant (russell) 2010-04-27 12:24:47 As long as you can still use the libs that it can be used with now, then this is fine.  Feel free to just commit it when you're ready. By: jin (jin) 2010-04-30 08:46:48 Hi, i'm interested on this feature. testing on centos 5.4 with pwlib-1.10.1-7.0.1.el5.x86_64 and opal-2.2.2-1.1.0.1 i patched asterisk 1.6.2 with opal_configure_2.diff, but asterisk doesn't compile the chan_h323.o: this is the configure output: checking for openr2_chan_new in -lopenr2... yes checking openr2.h usability... yes checking openr2.h presence... yes checking for openr2.h... yes checking /root/pwlib/include/ptlib.h usability... no checking /root/pwlib/include/ptlib.h presence... no checking for /root/pwlib/include/ptlib.h... no checking /usr/local/include/ptlib.h usability... no checking /usr/local/include/ptlib.h presence... no checking for /usr/local/include/ptlib.h... no checking /usr/include/ptlib.h usability... yes checking /usr/include/ptlib.h presence... yes checking for /usr/include/ptlib.h... yes checking for ptlib-config... /usr/bin/ptlib-config checking if PWLib version 1.10.1 is compatible with chan_h323... yes checking PWLib installation validity... yes checking /usr/share/pwlib/../openh323/version.h usability... no checking /usr/share/pwlib/../openh323/version.h presence... no checking for /usr/share/pwlib/../openh323/version.h... no checking for /root/openh323/include/h323.h... no checking for /usr/local/include/openh323/h323.h... no checking for /usr/include/openh323/h323.h... no checking for luaL_newstate in -llua5.1... no checking for luaL_register in -llua... yes checking lua.h usability... yes checking lua.h presence... yes checking for lua.h... yes the opal devel file are located in: [root@pbx4 asterisk16-1.6.2.6]# ls -al /usr/include/opal/ totale 60 drwxr-xr-x 12 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 . drwxr-xr-x 90 root root 12288 30 apr 17:21 .. drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 asn drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 codec drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 h323 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 iax2 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 lids drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 opal drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 rtp drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 sip drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 t120 drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 30 apr 17:21 t38 best regards By: Tzafrir Cohen (tzafrir) 2010-06-19 18:57:04 Even after some minor massaging of the configure script, it claims openh323 is not available, because H323EndPoint::H323Endpoint() (contructor) does not exist. /usr/include/opal/h323/h323ep.h does have:  H323EndPoint::H323Endpoint(OpalManager & manager) channels/h323/ast_h323.cxx calls that contructor with no parameters. Version of opal: 3.6.8~dfsg-1 By: Lott Caskey (lottc) 2011-01-19 03:48:39.000-0600 Using the previous patches, I created and uploaded a patch that successfully compiles and runs against Opal 3.8.2, asterisk-trunk_302411-opal.patch.  This has not been fully tested, as I do not have the resources/knowledge to do so. If anyone can test, please let me know if this helped. By: Leif Madsen (lmadsen) 2011-07-26 15:18:27.092-0500 Suspended due to lack of activity. Please request a bug marshal in #asterisk-bugs on the IRC network irc.freenode.net to reopen the issue should you have the additional information requested.  Further information can be found at http://www.asterisk.org/developers/bug-guidelines Really the supported method to do H.323 is with chan_ooh323.
