Asking about project status

[alishir]

Hi @muggot and thanks for this great project, I found that last update on wiki is about debian 7, by the now the latest debian stable in 9. Also the ptlib version that used in openmcu is 2.0 but the latest ptlib version is 2.16. Are there any plan to update this project?

Thanks.

Hi @alishir, no reason for update ptlib, at least you'll don't see any speedify of openmcu, so it's interesting like an experiment but no more. Please feel free to update wiki yourself if you have useful information :)

Don't even try to upgrade PTLib. It changes it's API with every version. Your H323Plus will fail to compile when you try eg. 2.16.x.

Actually there is a reason to upgrade PTLib: The current version of PTLib doesn't work OpenSSL 1.1.x. neither does OpenMCU's H323Plus version.

I'm maintaining a PTLib 2.10.x fork for H323Plus and GnuGk that keeps the API stable and only fixes serious bugs, like the OpenSSL 1.1 issue. I would suggest OpenMCU switches to that version, too. I alraedy tested that it compiles OK, but haben't tested the resulting executable much.

Does anybody has the openMCU installation steps with PTLib. I have tried the following, but it does not pass the make step

apt-get install nasm yasm git build-essential autoconf
pkg-config libtool libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev
libswscale-dev libavutil-dev libfreetype6-dev libssl-dev
libx264-dev libvpx-dev libjpeg62-turbo libjpeg62-turbo-dev
libsofia-sip-ua-dev libsamplerate0-dev libopus-dev
