Notice: Whatever you do, DO NOT USE distrubution specific installs
of Open H.323 and PWLib. Check everything out of CVS. If you dont know
how to deal with cvs, learn. Also, if you are not using the listed
versions of Open H.323 or PWlib you are on your own, sorry. Older versions
will NOT work, but newer versions ~should~ work.
expat-dev-1.95
We have implemented this driver using Asterisk's RTP stack insted of trying
to implement a pseudo sound card driver.
NOTICE: Whatever you do, DO NOT USE distrubution specific installs
of Open H.323 and PWLib. In fact you should check to make sure
your distro didn't install them for you without your knowledge.

Most common compile error:
If you receive anything that says 'undefined symbol' you are experiencing
typical version skew. For example:
libh323_linux_x86_r.so.1: undefined symbol: GetNumberValueAt__C14PAbstractArrayi
You need to search and destroy every version of libh323 and libpt then
completely recompile everything
Example commands to make sure everything gets cleaned and then
rebult in proper order:
cd /path/to/pwlib
make clean opt
cd /path/to/openh323
make clean opt
cd asterisk/channels/h323
make clean install
(Note: Open H.323 or PWLib never get a 'make install')
If you have trouble please contact 'JerJer' in #Asterisk on irc.freenode.net or
send and email to jj@indie.org
If you happen to be lucky enough to segfault this code please run a backtrace
and send me the gory details. Segmentation faults are not tolerated!
Most common run-time error:
libpt_linux_x86_r.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
You have not set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
Example environment for sh/bash:
PWLIBDIR=$HOME/pwlib
export PWLIBDIR
OPENH323DIR=$HOME/openh323
export OPENH323DIR
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWLIBDIR/lib:$OPENH323DIR/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
We recomend puting the above directives into your /etc/profile so
you do not have to remember to export those values every time you
want to recompile.
If you still have trouble please contact 'JerJer' in #Asterisk on
irc.freenode.net or send and email to jj@indie.org
If you happen to be lucky enough to segfault this code please run a
backtrace and send me the gory details. Segmentation faults are not

Send whatever shows up right after the 'bt'
Also, a full debug screen output is almost needed. Make sure you are in the full console mode (-c) and turn on 'h.323
debug'. A nice way to capture everything is to use the utility called 'script' (man script)
