Thanks for the response Anthony.

Interesting.  I do not know why I got the errors I mentioned before then
until I installed the exact versions of those packages it seemed to
need.

Ok.  I did this.

Compilation still failed but there are significant improvements since
the last time.

Here is what I did and the results:

====================================================
Checked out the current trunk with svn.

Patched /usr/include/sys/resource.h

Since Dragonfly has fixed or will be fixing this future releases I patched the
system header to add RLIMIT_AS rather than patching freeswitch to use
RLIMIT_VMEM.

Compilation still failed but there are significant improvements.

bootstrap.sh seems to have been successful this time.

I seems to have worked with the bsd shell this time.
I also did not have to link make to gmake.  It appears to have properly
called gmake when building in sub-directories when gmake was run from the top.

Configure completed successfully but there were these warnings:

  checking dlfcn.h usability... no
  checking dlfcn.h presence... yes
  configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h: present but cannot be compiled
  configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
  configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h: see the Autoconf documentation
  configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
  configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
  configure: WARNING: dlfcn.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
  checking for dlfcn.h... yes

I do not know if this is going to cause a problem.

I did not have to use the "--build=i386" option to configure this time.


Compiling
=========

Still lots of warnings of:
    warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast

Errors:
It is apparently not checking return codes from make.  It continues even when
there are errors.  Is this intentional??

  su_alloc.c: In function `su_salloc':
  su_alloc.c:1518: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast
  gmake[9]: *** [su_alloc.lo] Error 1
  gmake[8]: *** [all] Error 2

           LTCOMPILE features.lo
  ...

           LTCOMPILE sres_sip.lo

           LTCOMPILE token64.lo

There are about 12 errors of this nature before ending with

  Making all in nua

It says it has been successfully built.  Apparently part of the same problem of
not checking the return codes.

It does not say what most of the errors are except for near the last when it
says
     No rule to make target `iptsec/libiptsec.la'

It just says "Error 1" or Error 2" which does not tell me what the problem is.
