We have been using asterisk on linux from a long time now and happy
with it.
But some of our customers who has windows in their environment want
to use our call center software we developed on top of asterisk.
So, the question was :
Did anybody ever tried to isolate the asterisk SIP server/module and
make it run under Windows ?
Since, asterisk 12 is using pjsip (which is cross platform already),
I tought it may be possible and wanted advices.
I would love that every single customer switch to Linux and Ubuntu
tomorrow morning but at the moment, that's not the case.

There was an old half-working port of Asterisk to Cygwin which does
run on Windows. It has not worked since at least 1.6.0 .
|
That's just a unix-like interface which won't address the issues the OP
has/had with running/configuring asterisk. IMHO it would probably be
even more challenging. And IIRC the OP was looking for a non emulated
solution anyway.

be welcomed, I guess (look at what odd fixes that were accepted to
make Asterisk build and work on OS/X).
|
That advice was already given by multiple posters. OS X is unix-like as
well so I fail to see what help that could be in an endeavour to port
asterisk.

name you find for it. Please respect this list. If you don't have
anything useful to add to the thread, please refrain from replying.

I have to agree with the name calling part but the OP did imply that
Windows was superior and that a Windows port would be profitable. You
can't really expect to get away with that on a list devoted to an open
source application without making a complete fool out of yourself.
If it was a post regarding one of the many proprietary closed source
applications/games without a native port to Linux/BSD/OS X then it
would be a valid complaint. Having access to the source as well as
liberal licensing terms which allow porting isn't a valid complaint and
never will be.

Linux has a very steep learning curve. A Windows application that
would do exactly the same would be a home run. Note: I am a Linux
expert user, but it took me years to get here. And still, moving from
regular RHEL 6.0 to Fedora 20 (RHEL 7) is a pain in the neck. The .NET
framework and Windows server 2012 are miles away in terms of
friendliness and on equal footing on performance. I donīt mean another
slow cygwin port, I man a native Asterisk for windows. In fact, I
would invest on the project if somebody wants to do it. |
Windows and Linux should be able to coexist. I have had great success setting up a VMware ESXi server with Windows VMs for AD and Exchange and Linux VMs for Asterisk and Web / FTP. Asterisk with Exchange UM for voicemail is a winning combination and works seamlessly. It is essentially a private cloud of the customer. Why not use the OS that works for the task at hand?

It's not emulated. It uses a compatibility layer library. If emulation
were such a major issue for you, I guess you'd never consider using a
language such as Java, Perl or Python, where the program runs in its own
virtual machine.

I did not reply to that troll. I replied an OP who said that MS-Windows
was a requirement for his case.
