We got a new FoneBridge 2 and wanted to use with a Debian Etch 4 R2 installation.

The pre-built fonulator from redfone was not working, so we had to build it from source (thanks for your help Mark Warren = Redfone).

Here the steps to make the fonulator work with your Debian system:

First you need to install Debian Etch dependencies:

apt-get install libnet1-dev libpcap-dev libreadline5-dev libargtable2-dev

Downlod fonulator-sources-build-11.tar.gz:

wget http://www.intuitinnovations.com/asterisk/download/fonulator-sources-build-11.tar.gz

You can also download the file from the Red-Fone website.

Untar the file:

tar -xzvf fonulator-sources-build-11.tar.gz

Build LIBFB:

cd libfb

./configure
make
make install

Build Fonulator:

cd..

cd fonulator

./configure
make
make install

The fonulator tool will be located in /usr/local/bin directory.

Cheers
Daniel
