Arch Linux User Repository

PSA: I've started hosting this and all its dependencies as prebuilt packages (x86_86 only) in my repository for those that want to install them using pacman without messing around with building from the AUR.

18.4.0-1 contains an empty /tmp dir with wrong permissions. It should be removed from package.

Many plugins have additional dependencies not listed here - is there a specific reason those are not included as depends/optdepends? I had to install libvpx gsm lua53 neon to get the modules I need running.

I guess, lua51 can therefore be dropped as it seems they have switched to lua53. Also, gsm is already listed as a makedepends, but is (at least in my case) also needed for running it.

@brackenhill-mob Upon further investigation it seems like archlinux c-client does not include imap/linkage.c. You can manually build a package that includes it like this (maybe the paths might not be right, but you should be able to follow along):

mkdir -p ~/builds
cd ~/builds
git clone --single-branch -b packages/imap https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages.git ~/builds/c-client
cd ~/builds/c-client/trunk
# Add the following line to PKGBUILD at the end of the `package_c-client` function:
# install -D -m644 c-client/c-client.a $pkgdir/usr/lib/c-client.a
makepkg
sudo pacman -U c-client-2007f-*.tar.xz

The last line installs the newly build package including the linkage.c file.

I had to change the PKGBUILD of the asterisk package, too:

Replace

./menuselect/menuselect --disable BUILD_NATIVE

with

./menuselect/menuselect --disable BUILD_NATIVE --enable app_voicemail_imap

I guess as long as getting imap/linkage.c is a manual process it won't be possible for the asterisk package to officially enable the IMAP support.

This has been added as a bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/69016

@brackenhill-mob You might want to try the c-client package. It includes imap/linkage.h.

@nkukard I "borrowed" linkage.c from my Ubuntu server - I now have a working build. I can't find which package contains this file on Ubuntu - many moons ago it was in the uw-imap source code from Uni of Washington but I could find their repository to download it.

@brackenhill-mob You have a very good point there, I wrongly assumed just enabling imap support with --with-imap=system sorted it out :(

I get the same build error as you, missing imap/linkage.c

@nkukard OK I've just looked at my scripts for Ubuntu. --with-imap=system is required.

But my build fails with a missing /usr/lib/imap/linkage.c which is not in the c-client nor imap packages (it exists in Ubuntu).

Please can you set app_voicemail_imap in menuselect and try your build to see if it completes.

@nkukard I downloaded the snapshot for 18.1.0-2 as it hadn't hit the repositories at the time, and app_voicemail_imap is not checked in menuselect so the .so is still not being built

HTH

@nkukard I'm new to running Asterisk under Arch (coming from Ubuntu Server) so I may not understand how the Arch system works in this case. So at the risk of telling you stuff you already know... ;)

The 3 voice mail options if you run make menuselect manually create 3 different .so files. With your 18.1.0 package, only app_voicemail.so was created but the /etc/asterisk/modules.conf file told the server to load app_voicemail_imap.so which didn't exist. I've always built Asterisk from source and used make menuselect to setup the system for my needs, so in this case I would check all 3 options to generate the 3 .so files and let the user decide what to load in modules.conf. If you check those settings do you need a build dependency?

HTH

@Astroturf, thanks for the link. Updated to use bundled version.

@brackenhill-mob, please see https://www.asterisk.org/announcing-a-new-compile-option-for-app_voicemail-storage/. As far as I can see "imap" was never a build dependency, nor could of of worked due to the imap linking issue. Nonetheless, I've added imap as a build dep and fixed the linker options. Not sure I like it though. Willing to take improvement suggestions.
