[Freeswitch-users] running on visual studio and elaborative documentation

Mon Apr 13 22:09:32 PDT 2009

Hi

even I have downloaded FreeSWITCH and using MS Visual Studio 2008. It is building properly. I now want to configure it properly. Can you please give me directions and also some links for good detailed comparisons between Asterisk and FreeSWITCH and elaborative documentation for the same..

Hello Brian,

I tried this (on trunk 12862), but still the same behaviour. It does not
aks for a PIN. Neither when transfering directly to the conference nor
by transfering to the dialplan extension where conference is handled.

Best regards
Peter

We download FreeSWITCH from SVN Trunk and want to build it on MS Visual
Studio 2008 with platform.
But we got one error message when we build it.
FreeSWITCH\libs\win32\sofia\debug\libsofia_sip_ua_static.lib is built fail.
So many files are lost, such as mod_sofia.dll.....
Could you help me me for this, Please??
Whether something is lost in MS Visual Studio 2008 ??
Thanks a lot!!
Lewis

have a look.
http://www.google.com/search?q=janitor+project
The phrase has already been coined.

If you look closely we have 2 different perspectives in this thread.

mszlazak is seeking more of the higher level user documentation, the holy
grail magic documentation that
is like the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy or harry potter's marauder's map
can tune into what you need to know
or what you don't understand and magically adjusts.  This is normal, we have
a lot of users like that.  The majority of users
will treat us like they are buying the software from us and impose their
expectations on us.  It's helpful to us, it lets us
see things from their perspective.

Seven is looking it at more from a developer's perspective, he's actually
willing to take the time to add things
to the wiki and he wants to understand how the code works.  This is a good
thing too, there are far less people of this type
in our community but they are crucial.

Core developers document by explaining what they are doing to people like
Seven or by putting a reminder in the commit notes which are later
translated into the CHANGELOG for the releases.  Michael, the author of this
thread has added countless pages of documentation to the wiki this way.
It's easy to say the author should document everything.  There is close to
300,000 lines of
code in just the src directory in the FreeSWITCH tree (that is all code we
wrote not counting any of the depends libs or any other form of pre-existing
code).  I personally wrote the majority of that code so, I really appricate
it when the communiuty gives me a few minutes to take a break while they
document it.  The best people to document the high level fuctionality  is
not the author btw.  It's the first few people who use it.  Most likely they
are developing a product from it and they intend to profit from it in one
way or another and its a fair tradeoff to have the section of functionality
explained to them in exchange from wikifying it from their perspective.  The
perspective of the author will be dry and mechinacal where that
first-time-user version of the documentation will make much more sense to
future readers.

When it comes to the low level documentation, the C functions, we also need
someone to help us with that if they feel there is not enough.  We write
code, we know how it works.  If other people cannot figure out how it works,
they will ask us and in the end it will be doucmented.  About 5% or less of
people in the community even have to look in the code for the core.  The
whole point of the FreeSWITCH design is to push everything up to scripts,
remote connections and dialplan logic to let people concentrate on good
ideas instead of the evil logic necessary to properly engineer a telephony
engine.  So I recommend anybody interested starts out making sure there is
ample documentation for the embedded and external API for lua, js, perl,
python, ESL etc.  Then anybody who really likes C code can start with the
module API layer and then dig deeper into the core code and learn how it
works and if the documentation is not enough, add some, we appriciate any
help we can get.

If you try to build just the sofia library, what are the first few  
warnings and errors you get?

That's the right attitude to have... now if there were more people doing 
that and less people complaining like little school girls, we could 
actually reach the next level in Open-Sourcetopia.
