[SOLVED] Fail to compile Asterisk

taciak · 2013-01-20 11:12:12

Hello friends,

Yesterday I tried to install asterisk from AUR (asterisk 11.0.1-1) but compilation (if I event called it compilation) failed during configure script. I tried on two diffrent machines (one of them has Arch x86_64 installed and another Arch x86) but on neither of them it works. Additionally I tried compile source code download from official site, but I got the same error.

Results of compiling from AUR:

Do you have any ideas what goes wrong?
I thought that there is something wrong with source code, but today I run configure on another machine where (probably) Debian is install and configure script didn't crash, run successfuly.

It builds fine here. Look at that line in configure, what is there? Mine has the first half of what is in your error message, but not the second half - it looks like something got tacked on to the end of some lines in your configure script.

Thanks for reply,

The line 25551 has follow code:

PWLIB_VER=$((${PWLIB_MAJOR_VERSION}*10000+${PWLIB_MINOR_VERSION}*100+${PWLIB_BUILD_NUMBER}))

And some code around:

25532 ac_ext=c
25533 ac_cpp='$CPP $CPPFLAGS'
25534 ac_compile='$CC -c $CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS conftest.$ac_ext >&5'

25544         fi
25545 
25546         if test "${HAS_PWLIB:-unset}" != "unset"; then
25547                 PWLIB_VERSION=`grep "$VNAME" ${PWLIB_INCDIR}/ptbuildopts.h | sed -e 's/[[:space:]]\{1,\}/ /g' | cut -f3 -d ' ' | sed -e 's/"//g'`

25550                 PWLIB_BUILD_NUMBER=`echo ${PWLIB_VERSION} | cut -f3 -d.`
25551                 PWLIB_VER=$((${PWLIB_MAJOR_VERSION}*10000+${PWLIB_MINOR_VERSION}*100+${PWLIB_BUILD_NUMBER}))

25557                 fi
25558 
25559                 { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking if PWLib version ${PWLIB_VERSION} is compatible with chan_h323" >&5
25560 $as_echo_n "checking if PWLib version ${PWLIB_VERSION} is compatible with chan_h323... " >&6; }
25561                 if test ${PWLIB_VER} -lt ${PWLIB_REQ}; then
25562                         { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: no" >&5
25563 $as_echo "no" >&6; }
25564                         unset HAS_PWLIB
25565                 else
25566                         if test ${PWLIB_VER} -gt ${PWLIB_MAX}; then
25567                                 { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: no" >&5
25568 $as_echo "no" >&6; }
25569                                 unset HAS_PWLIB
25570                         else
25571                                 { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: yes" >&5

25574                 fi
25575         fi

And here is all of content of my configure script file (which is quite massive) http://www.nopaste.taciak.net/index.php/view/17489073
Unfortunately I cannot feel freely with bash and I have no idea what's wrong with line 25551.

This only happens if you have extra/ptlib installed. The version check used by asterisk's configure script doesn't quite filter out enough.

Add this sed line to the PKGBUILD before the configure:

sed -i '/PWLIB_VERSION=/s/VNAME/& \\"/' configure

So build() will look like this:

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  sed -i '/PWLIB_VERSION=/s/VNAME/& \\"/' configure
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
  make
}

@tdy your solution works! Thank you both for help!

I'll try to report it upstream, but quite frankly I don't have time for (or maybe just don't feel like) checking the various branches and the bug tracker to see if it's already been fixed/reported. If someone else feels like checking and then reporting, this is the gist of it:

If ptlib is installed, line 47555 of the 11.2.0 configure script tries to extract the version number:
PWLIB_VERSION=`grep "$VNAME" ${PWLIB_INCDIR}/ptbuildopts.h | sed -e 's/[[:space:]]\{1,\}/ /g' | cut -f3 -d ' ' | sed -e 's/"//g'`
But it doesn't filter out enough. This is the result:
2.10.9
((major<<24)|(minor<<16)|build)
>=
So then the configure script fails a few lines later:
./configure: line 47559: 2*10000+10*100+9 ((major<<24)|(minor<<16)|build) >=: syntax error in expression (error token is "((major<<24)|(minor<<16)|build) >=")
This patch is just one way of fixing it:
