First I tried a newer version of Ptlib. It appears Ptlib 2.7 isn’t compatible with h323plus 1.21.0.

I then tried Ptlib 2.6.6 which compiled with h323plus 1.21.0, but Asterisk still gave the ‘BOOL’ make error.

I then moved forward to finding and replacing in the Asterisk code.

Globally replacing the code didn’t work, but finding and replacing just ‘channels/h323/ast_h323.cxx’ & ‘channels/h323/ast_h323.h’ seemed to do the trick.

[root@localhost asterisk]# ldd /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_h323.so

        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002ab1fd5db000)

        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00002ab1fd8db000)

        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002ab1fdb5e000)

        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002ab1fdd6d000)

        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002ab1fdf88000)

        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000039bf200000)

do a global replace of BOOL with PBoolean.

I’m trying to compile chan_h323 for Asterisk, I only get an error when I start the make on Asterisk. Can someone shed some light on this issue? (CentOS 5.4 x64)
