如何在Mac OS X 10.13 High Sierra安装Asterisk？高版本MacOS装Asterisk15+g729咨询

Hey there, let's break down your two Asterisk installation questions for macOS systems:

Getting Asterisk up and running on High Sierra is totally manageable with a few straightforward steps—here's what you need to do:

• Install Xcode Command Line Tools: First, grab the essential build tools. Open Terminal and run:
  xcode-select --install
  Follow the on-screen prompts to agree to the license and finish the installation.
• Set up Homebrew (if you haven't already): Homebrew simplifies dependency management a lot. Install it with:
  /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
• Install required dependencies: Fetch all the libraries Asterisk needs to compile and run smoothly:
  brew install wget openssl ncurses libjpeg speex speexdsp sqlite3 libedit libxml2
• Download and unpack Asterisk source: Pick a stable version (Asterisk 13 or 15 works well with High Sierra). For example:
  wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-13-current.tar.gz
tar zxvf asterisk-13-current.tar.gz
cd asterisk-13-*
• Configure the build: High Sierra's default OpenSSL is outdated, so point the script to Homebrew's version:
  ./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/opt/openssl
• Customize modules with menuselect: Run this tool to pick the features and codecs you want:
  make menuselect
  Use arrow keys to navigate, select the modules you need, then save and exit.
• Compile and install:
  make (this might take 10-15 minutes depending on your machine)
  sudo make install
sudo make config (sets up startup scripts if you want Asterisk to run on boot)
• Verify the installation: Check if Asterisk installed correctly with:
  asterisk -V
  You'll see the version number printed if everything worked.

Awesome to hear you had success with Asterisk 13 + bcg729 on 10.10! For the latest macOS (like Sonoma or Ventura), you can still get G.729 support using the open-source bcg729 library (commercial G.729 licenses are tricky to set up on macOS). Here's how:

• Update Homebrew: Start by making sure your package manager is up to date:
  brew update
• Install dependencies (including bcg729): Grab standard Asterisk dependencies plus the bcg729 codec library:
  brew install wget openssl ncurses libjpeg speex speexdsp sqlite3 libedit libxml2 bcg729
• Download Asterisk 15 source:
  wget http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/asterisk-15-current.tar.gz
tar zxvf asterisk-15-current.tar.gz
cd asterisk-15-*
• Configure with bcg729 support: Tell the build system where to find the bcg729 library:
  ./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/opt/openssl --with-bcg729=$(brew --prefix bcg729)
  Using brew --prefix bcg729 ensures you're pointing to the correct path, even if Homebrew installs it in a non-standard location.
• Enable the bcg729 codec in menuselect: Run:
  make menuselect
  Navigate to the Codec Translators section, check codec_bcg729 (this adds G.729 support), then save and exit.
• Compile and install:
  make
sudo make install
sudo make config
• Check G.729 support: Start Asterisk in verbose mode:
  sudo asterisk -vvvc
  Inside the Asterisk console, run:
  core show codecs
  Look for G.729-related entries—if they show up, you're all set!

A quick heads-up: On newer macOS versions, you might get security prompts about Terminal accessing system files. Just grant the necessary permissions when asked to avoid build errors.
