Is anyone running Asterisk 1.4.X with 2.0.4.rc4 or the SVN? I would like to play around with using Asterisk 1.4.X. Any notes or anything I need to look out for using 1.4.X?

Yes, 1.4.21.2 appears to be stable running VICIDIAL 2.0.4.1rc4(and SVN would most likely run fine as well). We only have a couple of smaller clients running Asterisk 1.4 right now, but so far no major problems.

You want to make sure that you put "1.4.X"(but not the X, use the actual version) in the servers table for the Asterisk version, and there is a different extensions.conf sample file in docs for the 1.4 version of Asterisk due to the dialplan changes needed in 1.4(for callerIDname and num).

Good luck, and let us know how it works for you.

can asterisk 1.4 work with vicidial 2.0.3 ? or was 2.0.4 modified to work with asterisk 1.4?

I think 2.0.3 might work with 1.4, we have supported 1.4 for some time, although being almost a year and a half old I would not guarantee anything on 2.0.3. You should really upgrade to 2.0.4.1rc4.

I'm actually getting ready to do this on a new setup, are there any changes to the asterisk source code that need to be done (like with the 1.2 tree)?

You may need to apply the gsm non-optimize patch to Asterisk depending on the version of gcc you have on your system. That is not VICIDIAL-specific, it's a recent bug in gcc that over-optimizes the gsm codec and causes it to sound horrible.

Where can I get that patch? Other than that I need not apply any other patches? Just compile the 1.4.X source as it is delivered from Digium?

Which version of gcc does this?

The recent versions, I cannot remember exactly off the top of my head. I would suggest google searching it for more information.

Will do, do I need to apply any of the other patches (eg cli patch, etc)?

Nope, we do recommend applying the enter.h and leave.h files for faster meetme enter/leave sounds, but they are not required.

Take a look at the bottom of the REQUIRED_APPS.txt file for info on compiling Asterisk 1.4
