| Description: | Hello,
I wanted to use the G729 Codec so I downloaded and installed the codec module to see if it would work on my installation but asterisk is refusing to load it with the error "Can't modify /usr/local/lib/asterisk/modules/codec_g729a.so's text section. Use GCC option -fPIC for shared objects, please.". Is there any chance you could publish your libraries as PIC (position independent code) as there is no disadvantage in doing so and it would allow usage on a wider range of devices (including our PBX)? Kind regards | ||

Then, if you are submitting a patch, please review the [Patch Contribution Process|https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Patch+Contribution+Process]. Please note that once your issue enters an open state it has been accepted. As Asterisk is an open source project there is no guarantee or timeframe on when your issue will be looked into. If you need expedient resolution you will need to find and pay a suitable developer. Asking for an update on your issue will not yield any progress on it and will not result in a response.

The codec_g729a is a commercial module from Sangoma, and issues with it should be filed through a support ticket with Sangoma itself. By: Flole Systems (flole@flole.de) 2020-02-27 07:48:21.797-0600 That is interesting because they told me to file a feature request here....

By: Joshua C. Colp (jcolp) 2020-02-27 07:55:39.187-0600 I can see your ticket for the Sangoma side with instructions for contacting Digium, did you then contact Digium and were told to file a feature request here? By: Flole Systems (flole@flole.de) 2020-02-27 07:57:36.225-0600 Yes exactly, ticket number at Digium is #00808666. By: Joshua C.
