Recompiling Zaptel In TL.

Posted by gregshap on Tue, 06/03/2008

How would you recompile Zaptel in an step by step listing of commands.

Thanks for your help...

Hi gregshap,

Based on the question I am guessing you used the .iso for installation.

If so I am not 100% sure where the zaptel source is located, but you could check /usr/src

or

#updatedb

#locate zaptel-1.4*

once you find it, enter the directory

#make clean

#make

#make install

Are you doing this because you wish to add a feature? or have upgraded the kernel?

I hope this helps

Thanks,

Chris A

I did install VIA the ISO.

I get a zaptel failed to load and a cannot find dev/zap! message during boot which makes me think I need to recompile.

Thanks,

before compiling try

#service zaptel start

what happens when you do this?

any errors?

If it starts, the easiest thing to do is in Webmin -> System -> Bootup and Shutdown

Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and you should see zaptel, click on it and select start at bootup.

I don't think this is your problem though, I have loaded the iso once and everything started properly.

post your error

Thanks,

Chris A

Oops, too late, I already recompiled with your instructions but when I run that command after, it loads fine,

Thanks

for the help.

dont forget ./configure

to upgrade/recompile zaptel, I usually do

# tar -zxvf zaptel-1.4.11.tar.gz

# cd zaptel-1.4.11

# ./configure

# make menuselect

then save those changes

# make

# make install

# make config

make config will install a new /etc/init.d/zaptel ... which changes from time to time.

I'm guessing you did updates on your OS and were running on a new kernel. Just jot down on a notepad somewhere that kernel upgrades require recompile of zap drivers after the reboot.
