Doug Bade kd8b at thebades.netYou did better than I did on getting GUI running on allstar an xipar. It sounds like we do not necessarily need a lot of ACID, but the core parts of app_rpt. I use ACID distro on a couple sites and am familiar with it more so than Xipar also. What I did see from Xipar is it may be easier to shoehorn in what we need for P25 as it does not load a lot of site related stuff that comes from the servers. as you can just do a simple 1 rptr build.. and then go edit as needed. networking to servers not required.. I guess I could build a new site on Allstar that is just one repeater too. I have a friend who is indicating some knowledge of how to get Zaptel to compile on newer kernels.. I am going to do some inquiry on that J If I can get past that the rest should be buildable..

(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. --- In op25-dev at yahoogroups.com <mailto:op25-dev%40yahoogroups.com> , "Doug Bade" wrote: > > I will try to build on CentOS 6.x tonight which in theory I got the farthest > and it has a kernel that should be asterisk friendly as well as GNURadio > friendly.
