[Freeswitch-users] Cross compiling freeswitch for raspberry pi

[Ken Rice]

Even with SwitchPI I do not cross compile, never got it work properly that
way, and tried various methods including distcc et al...

the problem with cross compiling is autotools is a pain to get working
correctly in a cross compile environment you have to tell it most of the
answers instead of letting it guess them...

I would just compile it under raspbian on a RPi or i.MX5 (this is what the
Raspbian team was using last time I looked for building everything) and
then go from there... yes it takes a while, but even so last time i tried
to cross compile it, or qemu it, those were not that much faster then native
