Chan_extra 2.0.8 beta

I am trying to get chan_extra 2.0.8 beta to compile with DAHDI 2.7.0+2.7.0 and Certified Asterisk 1.8.15-cert7. Unfortunately, it keeps stopping with the following error message:

I'm sure there is probably an easy way to fix this; it seems to be treating all warnings as errors that is the problem.

Hi,

Can you let me know your kernel version?
Maybe we can contact via Skype,so that i can know more details!My contact info be shown as below:

Email:[email protected]
Skype: rick.zhu3

Best Regards.

Kernel is 3.2.0-4-amd64, from Debian Wheezy installation.

I managed to persuade it to work in the end with Asterisk 11.10.2 and Dahdi 2.7.0+2.7.0. For the benefit of anyone trying to build this in future, here is how I did it::
* Edit /usr/src/chan_extra-2.0.8/src/libgsmat/Makefile
* Duplicate line 33
* Comment out the original line 33 and remove '-Wall ' from the new line 34;After that, it is still generating warnings, but they are not treated as fatal and it compiles.

I was trying originally to use it with Certified Asterisk 1.8.15-cert7; but chan_extra 2.0.7 requires patching for this Asterisk version and no doubt the bits that will need changing in 2.0.8 beta aren't at the same position as the corresponding bits in 2.0.7. This is not necessarily a complete deal breaker, as I probably will have to upgrade it to Asterisk 11 at some stage anyway.

I will not use Skype until they supply the Source Code. Would you buy a cake without a list of the ingredients on the packet?

I think I have found another problem with the 2.0.8 beta.

If I enter
cli> gsm power off 1
then I get
Power off span 1 sucessed
but if I subsequently enter
cli> gsm show spans
then it shows span 1 as still being powered on, even though "gsm power off 1" fails, "gsm show span 1" includes "Last receive AT: \r\nNORMAL POWER DOWN \r\n\r\n" and "gsm power on 1" produces "Power on span 1 sucessed" (suggesting that it did really power off).

This is using two G400P cards under Asterisk 1.8.28.2 and DAHDI 2.7.0+2.7.0 on Debian Wheezy.

Hi,

Sorry to delay!
Yes,when you power off the span,it will turn on after seconds!

On the other hand,about your suggest we will consider that,maybe we will add this feature in future version!

Best Regards.
