[Freeswitch-dev] Compiling dependencies inline

[Paul Tinsley]

Well the easiest fix for this specific problem is to not adversise those
abilities from the rpm, rpm figures those out automagically using ldd on
every executable in an rpm file list, you can easily turn that off by adding
this to your spec file:

AutoReqProv: no

Then you just need to build the appropriate Provides: line in the spec file
for what it does provide, freeswitch.
