Asterisk Installation - DAHDI make error

General
1

Greetings.

I am trying to install and Build DAHDI during Asterisk installation on Rocky9.

I have downloaded the binary file via this command.

wget https://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux-complete/dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz

Then extracted the tarball with this command.

tar -xvzf dahdi-linux-complete-current.tar.gz

Then changed to the dahdi directory

 cd dahdi-linux-complete-3.2.0+3.2.0/

But when i make the file as root user, i get the error below.

$ sudo make

I have tried to do a simple google search but i seem not to find a way out.

Please assist on what i might be missing.

The log states you are missing this header. Install the appropriate package that has this header and this error will go away.

I have not been lucky with this.

Hello Sir.

I am still trying to crack this one.

Please help me get over this. I have tried a few things.

dnf provides */stdbool.h

This command gives a huge list.

$ dnf list *dahdi*

dahdi-tools.x86_64                        2.11.1-28.el9                    @epel

Am stuck at this point. Please teach how am to continue from there.
3. If i try to edit the file:

$ sudo vim /usr/local/src/dahdi-linux-complete-3.2.0+3.2.0/linux/drivers/dahdi/wct4xxp/base.c

Contents of the file

#include <linux/crc32.h>
#include <linux/slab.h>

/* Linux kernel 5.16 and greater has removed user-space headers from the kernel include path */
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(5, 16, 0)
#include <asm/types.h>
#else
#include <stdbool.h>
#endif

#include <dahdi/kernel.h>

#include "wct4xxp.h"
#include "vpm450m.h"

/* Support first generation cards? */
#define SUPPORT_GEN1

I locate the

#include <stdbool.h>

But i dont know how to treat this. Please show me.

A Google search found this:

Suggests there may be a bug the in the current release of dahdi, the link does include some work a rounds though.

Regards Tom.

I have tried it out. Getting the same error.

Not sure what else am to do.

Let me see if Asterisk has a forum I raise it with them.
