Hey folks,

OpenBSC seems to work without errors but to connect it with asterisk I need
mISDN, mISDNuser and LCR.


LCR doesn't seem to work. Here what I get as I searched for the problems:

I installed LCR in the following way:

> ./configure --prefix=/usr/src/lcr --with-gsm-bs
> make
> make install

There were no errors after configure but <make> and <make install> showed
following errors:

I have read that with Asterisk 1.8 and LCR 1.7 and the new OpenBSC chan_lcr
isn't used and there is no gsm.conf-file needed. But I'm not sure and the
most manuals and HotTo's I've found in the internet are old.

(I am working with Ubuntu 11.10 and Kernel 3.0.22, mISDN is integrated with
Kernel, mISDN_info works, mISDNuser is installed, OpenBSC gives no errors,
Asterisk works with Twinkle since a few months without errors, I use a
Cologne Chip HFC-E1 card which works with hfcmulti driver.)

It would be appreciate if someone of you can help me in this case. I also
searched for a solution in this german forum: http://www.ip-phone-forum.de
(I also tried to work with Dahdi/zaphfc and Dahdi/cwain but they aren't
recommended for using an HFC-E1 evalutaion board which is noch from
Junghanns.)


Best regards
Ellen
