[op25-dev] Re: Repeater Build attempts

historical

It took several hours of google assistance and stepping through pre-req h*ll
but I *think* I have all I need for GNURadio as well as Op25 as well as
Asterisk loaded into CentOS 6.3

But did not try to compile anything yet as I ran out of waking hours. Zaptel
will be first stop tonight..I found RPM's for just about all the
prerequisites although names are different in RH vs Debian branches.

It may be easier to just work with Debian at the correct Kernel versions. (
older) . for less hassle on pre-req names. I am not sure how Zaptel etc will
build there considering the allstar branch is RH centric.

I have gotten a GUI running on both XIPAR and ACID, pretty easily by running
yum groupinstall X-windows and groupinstall gnome-desktop-environment.
(Syntax may be a little off there). That gives you a gui to work with. FWIW,
Of the two, I like ACID better and that seems to be the more popular. As far
as getting GNR Radio and everything else built -- well, you found as I did,
thats a different story.
