-Asterisk has a number of optional build dependencies. If you intend to use
-any analogue PSTN hardware such as a DigiumTDM400P or plan on implementing
-a key system which uses the app_meetme conferencing plugin you will need to
-install the dahdi-linux and dahdi-tools software and drivers before compiling
-Asterisk. If you will instead use digital telephony hardware (not IP phones)
-such as T1/E1 lines or a PRI, you'll need to install libpri, again before
-compiling Asterisk.
-
-Be sure to see /usr/doc/asterisk-13.13.1/sample_confs/ after installation
-for any additional configuration files you may need.
-
-If you have plans of using Asterisk with a database backend you may want to
-install the alembic package. Since version 12.0 the database schemas that
-Asterisk uses are being captured in the form of python script files that use
-alembic to create/update database schemas. The asterisk package places these
-database scripts in the /usr/doc/asterisk-13.13.1/ast-db-manage directory.
-
-This build script supports the following flags:
-
- * MOH : [default = no]
-
- Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to include some royalty-free
- music on hold sound files with your installation. Setting this option
- will cause the build to download some sound files from the internet.
-
- * SOUNDS_EXTRA : [default = no]
-
- Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to include the extra sound package
- with your installation. Setting this option will cause the build to
- download some sound files from the internet.
-
- * VM_ODBC : [default = no]
-
- Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to store your voicemail messages
- in a database. This plugin requires the unixODBC package. This flag will
- override the VM_IMAP flag if both are set to 'yes'. You will probably want
- to install the alembic package to configure your database with the latest
- database schemas for Asterisk.
-
- * VM_IMAP : [default = no]
-
- Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to store your voicemail messages
- on an IMAP server. This plugin requires the University of Washingtons
- IMAP server source. This flag will be overridden by the VM_ODBC flag if
- both are set to 'yes'.
-
- * G711_NEW : [default = no]
-
- Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to use the newer G711 codec code.
- This requires a more powerful machine than would be normally required.
-
- * MEETME : [default = no]
-
- Set this flag to 'yes' if you would like to build the app_meetme plugin.
- This plugin is required for key style systems and conferencing using meetme.
- This plugin requires the dahdi-linux package for timing purposes.
-
-Optional dependencies: alembic, dahdi-complete, libpri, unixODBC, pjsip.
+Asterisk is an open source framework for building communications
+applications. Asterisk turns an ordinary computer into a
+communications server. Asterisk powers IP PBX systems, VoIP gateways,
+conference servers and other custom solutions. It is used by small
