A comparison of ASUS Routers shows that the

* RT-N16 uses the BCM 4716 CPU
* WL500G uses the BCM 4710 CPU

I am hoping that the the process used to compile \ make an application is the same or at least very similar, because I can not find info on how to compile Asterisk for the RT-N16. Fortunately there is a large and knowledgable WL500 community.

I am forced to compile Asterisk (running on an ASUS RT-N16) because Google made a change to the Gtalk service. Details regarding this change can be found by clicking on this URL.

If anyone has a success story compiling Asterisk (for ASUS platforms) and any lessons learned, I look forward to your posting. Bonus round if you can point to a good process & make file. Thank you.
