rtpengine for Enterprise Linux

Installing from RPMs

There are four RPMs:

• ngcp-rtpengine: the userspace daemon
• ngcp-rtpengine-recording: the recording daemon
• ngcp-rtpengine-kernel: the iptables plugin
• ngcp-rtpengine-dkms: the kernel module source

All of the RPMs have correctly set dependencies and if you just want the userspace daemon you can install it with yum (assuming you have access to a repository).

The ngcp-rtpengine-kernel package is dependent on the ngcp-rtpengine, and ngcp-rtpengine-dkms packages. The ngcp-rtpengine-dkms package has a dependency (DKMS) that cannot be met by the base repository. If you want to use in-kernel forwarding you need to add the EPEL repository and install the dkms package before attempting to install ngcp-rtpengine-dkms or ngcp-rtpengine-kernel.

Note: installing ngcp-rtpengine-dkms builds a kernel module which requires the sources for the running kernel. The kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages are meta-packages that install the headers and source for the latest kernel version. This will be what you want unless you are running a custom or older kernel. ngcp-rtpengine-dkms does not have kernel-devel and kernel-headers as dependencies as this could cause problems if you are using a custom or older kernel, so you need to install these manually.

RPM Compilation

To build the RPMs you need all of the packages listed in the Manual Compilation section (except for kernel-devel and kernel-headers) plus:

• redhat-rpm-config
• rpm-build

To build the RPMs:

• Checkout (clone) the Git repository
• Create the ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES directory
• Create a tar archive. For example, from within the cloned directory you can use git archive --output ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ngcp-rtpengine-<version number>.tar.gz --prefix=ngcp-rtpengine-<version number>/ master where <version number> is the version number of the master branch
• Build the RPMs. For example, rpmbuild -ta ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ngcp-rtpengine-<version number>.tar.gz

Once the build has completed the binary RPMs will be in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS.
