[Freeswitch-dev] where are CORE_SOFTTIMER_MODULE.so and CORE_PCM_MODULE.so?

Fri Jun 17 11:37:52 MSD 2011

Because the modules all use the core API functions, which are provided by
libfreeswitch.so.

I've just checked and the .so is used by both the freeswitch binary and all
the modules. That means although all modules depend on the library, it's
only loaded into memory once so you're not wasting memory. If it was
compiled statically it'd mean huge module files.

The .la is just used then to generate the .so. As a sideeffect the .la is
also distributed into the mod directory (as .la and .a) so you can link
statically if you're embedding FS in your own app if you wish, but I don't
think they're actually used.
